Nemer In 1987 - 1988, GE switched to a revolutionary new type of motor in their refrigerators. In 1989 - 1990, those new motors started failing an an ALARMING rate in the field. So, lots of replaced motors in customers' refrigerators, lots of reimbursements for spoiled food, lots of heads rolled at GE Appliance, and a one time charge was noted in the Annual Report. It was a pretty good fiasco. You just might have one of those bad motors that you have been 'listening-to' for eight years. Before you give up on it, you might call the 800 number at GE Appliances. They might fix it for free. FWIW

<I have a spare side by side GE that was in my office and a Hotpoint in the garage so I'll just have to get one or both hooked up and cooling in the next few hours....> Hotpoint and GE are the same. Hotpoint is a GE line. Nemer, I think you just got a bad model. Whatever. Next time you should take the Slevin route....buy it, if it does not work, buy something else. I have low tolerance for defective equipment, but I don't spend a lot of time on them. If you think about it; one trade pays for it, so screw it. Buy something else. Yes? I am the worst consumer in the world. Uh, buy one contract at xxx and sell it for a $750 gain. Buy that TV. It stinks? Throw it out.
