The Dishwasher.
Warning: Don’t buy this.
Ground Zero for six months and counting of no functional kitchen, dishwashing in the bathroom sink, boxes everywhere, NO SCONES, and just general chaos and disruption.
It would be hard to adequately explain the “business” side of this Dishwasher Fiasco. I seriously wonder how people who do not have an overblown sense of justice and outrage handle stuff like this.
Actually, I do know: They give up and settle for peanuts because they just can’t do the endless conflict involved.
Not me. Never.
But this latest conflict is a real head scratcher.
GE Appliance has assumed liability for the Great Dishwasher Fiasco of 2019. It was either their faulty dishwasher or their faulty warranty repair person that caused this ginormous _____________ (I seriously cannot think of the right word[s]).
Yep — this about covers it.
I contacted GE Appliance earlier this week about the dishwasher, which currently resides in the garage given that: a) we do not have a functional kitchen in which to have a dishwasher; and, b) it is obviously a weapon of mass destruction.
I asked for a refund of $258.
Instead, GE Appliance authorized us to spend $250 to assess whether the dishwasher is safe/can be repaired.
HUH?!
They even went so far as to say [about their generous offer to spend $250 to assess safety], “This is done as a courtesy due to you being just outside of warranty.”
Translation not needed.
I wrote yet another polite and pointed email noting that when their weapon of mass destruction (aka dishwasher) committed the atrocities in our home, it WAS under warranty — and that is why their company has assumed liability.
Yes indeed — GE Appliance apparently thinks it makes good business sense to spend $250 to assess whether a $258 dishwasher that has already cost their insurance company about $40,000 (and counting) is safe for home use.
Don’t go to that MBA program.
After everything that has happened, the truth is that they could not pay me to bring that dishwasher in our house again.
And while I find their response absurdly hilarious, I also intend to get my $258 back — both on principle and so that I can put it towards a dishwasher that won’t destroy our house. Bosch?
