![]() We’re a household that cooks and uses the oven quite often- at least 4 times a week for dinner, and more often when we host. Nothing was resolved, no one tried to help or even get in touch with me, and at that point- after so many messages from others echoing the same issue, I realized this was going to be an ongoing issue. The third time it happened, we had lost all patience and I decided to email, as well as message GE on Instagram. The second time it happened, we were annoyed, but knew exactly how to proceed… perhaps we just got a lemon or were having bad luck. Luckily, Emmett & I problem solved, did some research, and were able to figure out what was going on and resolve the issue on our own. After too many hours on hold and on the phone with customer service, it was determined we would have to pay for a technician visit and nothing would be covered, in terms of cost (despite it being under warranty). The first time this issue occurred, I immediately called customer service to see what could be done. You may need to factor in labor if you’re not comfortable swapping parts. While the part is relatively inexpensive (under $30), if Emmett weren’t proficient in replacing this piece, we also would’ve incurred the cost of hiring a technician. The top burners and warmers work wonderfully, but the oven igniter has proven to be a major issue time and time again.įirst of all, if you have the same range and are curious how to fix this problem… this is the part you’ll need to order and replace: oven range igniter. Basically, the igniter goes bad quite often and when it decides never to work again, that means we have to replace the part altogether if we want to use the oven. You can hear it trying to heat, but the gas never ignites. The issue we’ve had multiple (five, to be exact) times is this… upon turning on the oven, it refuses to heat up. While beautiful and in some areas functional, I cannot recommend our existing GE Cafe gas range. When we moved in, the existing range was electric and I was eager to upgrade to something more functional for our family, as well as visually pleasing. We opted to buy a professional gas range for our kitchen remodel and I was very excited to have a high-end gas cooktop and oven for our space… especially given how often we cook, plus I enjoy spending time in the kitchen baking. We’ve had electric, induction, and gas cooktops in our previous homes, and my personal favorite of the three is gas. ![]() Honesty has always been my policy! This review is for the Professional 36″ Gas GE Cafe Range. Hopefully this post is helpful if you were considering this particular range for your kitchen. ![]() However, when it comes to renovating, I take making recommendations very seriously and try to steer others in the best direction for their home and renovation. Click through to read my honest review, the issues we’ve had thus far (and how we’ve fixed those issues), as well as some alternative ranges I wish we would have purchased instead.įirst I’ll begin by saying, I’m a generally optimistic and positive person, therefore I try to keep an upbeat tone and attitude- especially here on the blog. In short, I’d say no- but I wanted to give this topic a permanent place to live, so I figured a blog post was in order! Sadly, we’ve experienced multiple issues with our range and I obviously can’t recommend it based on our personal experience. I’ve mentioned it before on Instagram and still receive multiple messages asking for my honest opinion and if this particular range is worth the money (~$6k). I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile now, in hopes to save others money, time, and the trouble of installing a GE Cafe range in their own kitchen. ![]()
