Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The latest update for October 2025 removed the current schedule for my Opal Ice Machine. I created a new schedule but am unable to select Saturday, as there appears to be no way to scroll the days over to see Saturday. This issue is in both Android and iOS versions.
dtsviper
Ever since the app was updated we cannot connect our AC to the app. We have tried everything and are very frustrated with a WiFi appliance which we can’t even use the WiFi function with. Will never buy a GE appliance again.

The notifications stopped working with the app. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, still the same issue. I also disconnected appliances and reconnected. Worked for one load of laundry then stopped working.
