Refrigerator, freezer, ice maker, dishwasher, washer, dryer, range, wall oven, cooktop, microwave, range hood and wine cooler. Each has its own page, because a dishwasher that will not drain and a dryer that will not dry have nothing in common except the house they are in. 12 — appliance types 34 — repair jobs, priced 49 — codes GE publishes 4 — badges on one platform ## Each one, and what goes wrong with it here South Florida changes the order of the list. Humidity decides how hard a defrost circuit works, water decides how long an ice machine lasts, and a long horizontal vent run decides whether a dryer dries. Nothing is listed here yet. Tell us the model number and what the appliance is doing, and we will answer without one. ## One maker, most of the kitchen and the laundry room GE is the largest appliance manufacturer in the United States by units in service, and in a South Florida house it is common to find four or five of them. That is why we price maintenance per appliance and cheaper together, and why one visit can usually cover the refrigerator, the dishwasher and the dryer rather than three separate calls. ## Some of these publish codes and some publish nothing Refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, wall ovens and microwaves all have published code tables, and this site carries them. Wine centers, range hoods and built-in ice makers have none at all — GE does not publish them — so those are diagnosed by measurement and by what still works. We say which you have rather than inventing a table for the ones that are silent. ## What we ask on the phone, and why Which appliance, and which badge - GE, GE Profile, Café or Hotpoint — it is on the front. - The four share most parts, but not all prices. - It decides what travels on the van. Model and serial from the plate - Inside the door, behind the kick panel, or on the frame. - The serial's two-letter date code gives us the age. - Age decides repair or replace more often than the symptom does. What it has been doing - Not only what it is doing now — when it started, and what changed. - A new disposer, a power cut, a move, a storm. - Those three sentences solve a real share of calls before the visit. ## Every repair we do Every job on this page belongs to at least one of these. Start from the appliance if you would rather. ## This list is what we publish, not the limit of what we repair GE builds more than appears here. If yours is not on this page, call — the list covers what comes up often enough in South Florida to be worth a page of its own. ## The questions this page is asked How old is my appliance? — GE's serial number carries a two-letter date code — a letter for the month and a letter for the year — so it can be read off the plate without any paperwork. Send us the serial and we will tell you. Are Café and Profile repaired differently from plain GE? — Rarely. They share most of their engineering, and the differences are usually the door, the finish and the control. The main practical effect is on parts availability, and it works in your favor. Do you repair built-in and over-the-range units? — Yes. Built-in refrigeration, wall ovens in a stack and over-the-range microwaves are all ordinary work — what changes is the access, and we plan for that rather than discovering it. ## What GE repair actually involves in Miami ### Twelve appliances, and only the house is common to them The reason each has its own page is that the diagnosis does not transfer. A dishwasher’s problems are usually plumbing; a dryer’s are usually the duct; a refrigerator’s are usually air and moisture. Grouping them under one heading is how the wrong part gets quoted. ### What South Florida changes Humidity, water hardness and long vent runs. Between them they move the order of every list on this site — seals and defrost circuits rise, ice machine descaling becomes routine rather than occasional, and dryer vents stop being an afterthought. ### GE appliance repair Miami, appliance by appliance Twelve machines, one maker, and a diagnosis that does not transfer between them. That is why each has a page rather than a paragraph. ## Tell us which appliance and what it is doing. The model number and a line about the behavior is enough to start. The scope and the figure come in writing before anything is opened. --- **[Read full article: Appliances archive](https://gemiami.support/appliances-archive/)**
