The product, in the report: window air conditioner
The consumer states that there was a power outage in the area (due to some repairs ) that she resides in. There was a loud popping sound smoke and arching coming from cord. The consumer unplugged the cord from the outlet immediately and the arching and smoking stopped.
The consumer noticed that when the failure occurred it tripped the circuit breaker. The consumer powered the circuit breaker back into the on position. The consumer then plugged the plug to the a/c unit back into the outlet when he noticed the cord going to the outlet had fallen part.
She contacted the firm and they sent someone out from Murray Service around 2/22/2012. The technician replaced the cord and indicated that he believes a power surge caused the failure. GE Contacted the consumer on 3/27/2012 and they offered to buy the product back from the consumer. The consumer also stated that the firm offered to exchange the a/c unit for another one.
The consumer stated the GE has not made any final decisions and has been using the a/c unit since the failure occurred but indicates there have been no problems with it. The consumer reports that he had installed the a/c unit in the window himself in July 2011 and had used it a day or so prior to the incident occurring.
The Consumer Added: GE offered us a replacement A/C--We had to choose between AEQ 24DQ and AM 25DP. We selected AEM25DP, then GE said those two models were not available and offered us an 18,000 BTU A/C--We know than 12 18,000 BTU is not large enough to cool the reoom that the defective A/C model (AHM 24 DHI) is currently installed in because the AHM 24 DHI was purchased in July 2011 to replace an 18,000 BTU A/C that was not large enough unit after we had shade trees cut down.
We are satisfied with the performance of this Air Conditioner. GE keeps calling saying that they want the Air Conditioner back.
