“GE. We bring your home to flames.”
G.E.’s propensity for outsourcing lead me to misunderstanding the headline.
I thought they were talking about 1.3 million Chinese......dishwashers.....
this wont be of any help delta...
every...and i mean every ..[4..to be exact] one of my g.e. appliances had to be serviced....and...you guessed it... my dishwasher is included in this recall....the g.e. rep. on the phone....[here’s the recall number everyone...866-918-8760..]
told me i had a choice...let the rep come to my house and change out the element or accept a 100 voucher for a new dishwasher...but a new one costs 250 plus depending on the model...the rep came changed it out and i hope that is that...
That’s too bad. GE used to be such a great company.
GE appliances are crap.
“Can you all talk me out of my rampant paranoia that GE wants to do something dastardly to my fully functioning appliance?”
This one may be legit, I don’t know. But keep in mind that dishwashers are PRIME CANDIDATES for the “Smart Grid”. The idea would be to control them from “central command” (i.e., the government, or utility), and not have them operate when power production is tight.
So you build the required interface (a wireless link) into the new dishwashers, but what do you do with the old ones (tens of millions)? Good question - perhaps recall them for ‘safety’ reasons, and have ‘the man’ install the device...at least for 1.3 million of them.
