cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

GE - General Electric GTS16BBSHRWW Questions and Answers

Find answers or ask new question.

#1 How do I return a part or accessory and get a replacement?

Returning a Part
- If you ordered a part online that you would like to return,
please start by requesting a Return Materials Authorization
(RMA). Once you complete and submit the return form, you
will receive a confirmation email within approximately 20
minutes. Print the shipping label included in the email and
attach to the outside of your package. The label contains the
RMA number and correct warehouse address for your return.
To receive credit for returned part and accessories, all items
must be in sellable condition. Please allow one billing cycle
for your refund to be processed.
Parts and accessories
- May be returned for credit within 30 days from the date the
part or accessory was shipped to you from our warehouse.
The part or accessory may be returned for a $15 re-stocking
fee between 31 and 90 days from shipment. After 90 days
the part or accessory may not be returned.
Return Shipping
- We do not cover the cost of return shipping, but if the
reason for the return is determined to be our error, we will
refund the shipping cost of your original order.
Did not Order Online?
- If the part you would like to return was not ordered online,
please call 1-800-477-6186 for assistance, Hours of
operation: Monday - Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
Need to Exchange?
- If you're looking to exchange a part or accessory you
purchased, complete the returns process for the current item
and place a new order for the item you need.

#2 I already have a RMA number - how do I complete my return?

A RMA number is required for a return and must be visible on
the
return package or the return will not be processed. Our parts
are
shipped from several warehouses. When returning a part, the
return
package should be addressed to the warehouse that
originally
shipped the part. You should have received an email that
includes
your RMA number as well as the correct return address and a
printable return label. If you did not, please call us at 800-
626-2002
Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm ET, Saturday 8:30am - 5pm ET.

#3 What is the warranty for parts and accessories?

All parts and accessories have a limited one-year warranty,
with the
exception of water filters, which have a 30-day warranty. If
your part
fails because of a manufacturing defect within one year from
the
date of original purchase, we will provide a new or, at our
option,
rebuilt part without charge. Return the defective part to the
vendor
from whom it was purchased with a copy of the "proof of
purchase."
If the part is defective it will be exchanged.
This warranty does not cover parts which are improperly
installed,
damaged, abused or used for other than the intended
purpose. It
does not include cost of returning the part to the vendor from
which
it was purchased, labor to remove, install or diagnose the
failure,
parts used in commercial applications, incidental or
consequential
damage caused by possible defects with the parts.
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES - Your sole and
exclusive
remedy is part exchange as provided in this Limited
Warranty. Any
implied warranties, including the implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited
to one
year or the shortest period allowed by law.
