GE Appliance Information

General Electric (GE) Appliance Parts

History of GE
Although he eventually held more than 1,000 U.S. patents, Thomas Edison didn't invent home appliances. It's impossible to credit just one individual with making life easier around the house, but Edison's electric innovations helped power it all. By 1889, his business interests attracted the attention of investor J.P. Morgan, and the New York merger that followed gave rise to the Edison General Electric Company in 1896.

The newly formed business quickly grew into a powerhouse for products as diverse as industrial dynamos and experimental television sets. GE trademarked its now familiar logo in 1900 and patented the first electric toaster in 1905. Other notable firsts included the Hotpoint electric range in 1910 and a hermetically sealed refrigerator in 1917. By the mid-1930s, GE was one of the country's leading appliance manufacturers making household chores easier with clothes washers, blenders, food waste disposers and countertop electric roasters.
 
General Electric Today
That famous GE logo now belongs to Qingdao Haier of China which bought out the company's appliance division in 2016. Consumers can still enjoy confidence in the line of appliances that Consumer Reports currently ranks among the nation's top three. GE appliances come with standard and extended warranty packages, and name-brand replacement parts are available for DIY repair.

Consumer Reports does note that repairs for GE appliances most often involve refrigerators, top and bottom freezers and ice makers. Consumers can choose from four styles of kitchen appliances.

GE extends consumer choices into the laundry room with traditional, high-efficiency and stackable washers and dryers as well as convenient accessories and home water products.

  • Clothes washers
  • Clothes dryers
  • Combination units
