No More GE Appliances For Me!

No more GE appliances for me!!
I purchased my GE Profile Side by Side refrigerator new. After 4 years the evaporator fan in the freezer began to make noise like it was hitting something. Apparently it was icing up which indicated it needed a new computer board.
I found a replacement computer board from a local tech for $50. After the sale the tech admitted he made a mistake in the price but was willing to stand by his first price. I should have paid more like $125.
I put the board in myself and everything was great until 6 months later the freezer and fridge started warming up.
Now I need a new compressor to the tune of $500. I refuse to put a $500 compressor into a machine I paid $1000 for.
In my opinion, putting a computer board into a kitchen appliance is ridiculous. I just want cold milk, eggs etc, and a freezer that freezes. Bell and whistles, no thanks!
