How often should these be changed? We had a Sub Zero and just moved to a house that has GE Monogram appliances and I am not familiar with this system.

Most places in US, yearly. Florida, twice a year. Based on average use. A household with 4 kids differs from a household of 2 mature adults. My monogram is 14 years old. perfect so far.

Without seeing your fridge, hard to know. I can tell you I've used this same know in several renovations and havebeen pleased though this would not have been a concern as no ss appliances. I don't think your friends and guestswould take a knob and hold it up to fridge to see if it "matches".......but, why not just buy one and make sure you'll besatisfied? And send same question to the seller.

Not sure I changed mine after six months as I do the smoke detectors. The batteries and the chime were working well, just my way of doing things.

Yes. Much friendlier to use than my GE was. Reheating feature is simpler and more accurate.

My original one lasted about 11 years. The only reason I replaced is because I dropped it breaking it's leg. One of the most basic of appliances, there is very little to go wrong. New one has been great and I hope to get as many years from this one.

Have you checked with Farberware? I have never needed to replace mine. If I needed to I would check with them first but odds are it may be cheaper just to replace the whole unit.

I never got a hold of them in Canada. They closed at 3 PM Pacific time... the instructions said 2 years and they don't pay shipping either way. It weighs a ton! I talked to a local small appliance repair and it would cost $20 just to look at it with no promise of fixing it if they couldn't get the parts. I just tossed it as junk. Thought I had lost enough money.

"I" don't have it anymore at all. Mine was Stainless (that costs more). I paid about $225 for it from Home Depot about 2010. It lasted for about 2 years, the interior bulb burned out and GE wanted $70 just to make an appointment and come out to fix it. Plus the $20 for the $10 bulb and $60/hr for at least an hour to replace it. So bulb burned out, $150 minimum to fix it. No. Good thing to because two or three months later the whole thing went BZZZZZZZZZZT! and died. Up until then it worked fine. Best feature? The defrosting inverter. I replaced it with a different brand. YOU HEAR THAT GE? GET A HORSE! "I" don't have it anymore at all. Mine was Stainless (that costs more). I paid about $225 for it from Home Depot about 2010.

Call them and ask for a replacement. IIRC the unit, like most if not all, is a twist-off. Should be easy (for a guy or an adept woman) to swap out).

This was the beginning of the end of several service visits. Contact GE as this is an alarm that is a flaw. We had the same issue many times. Right after the filter was cleaned and dried properly the alarm continually went off. After contacting my service center, I was informed that a service call was needed. Sorry that I couldn't have a real solution oriented response.

Hi Sheldon, It was very easy to replace. The directions are clear and easy to follow. Just determine what type of system you, look at the directions and follow. The terminals an the new thermostat are labeled for wire color. There is one "jumper" on the new thermostat that you may or may not need depending on the system you have. I did not need the jumper, so I removed it ... easy peasy.

I hope so, there is nothing in the manual showing it. GE wrote a very poor manual for our unit. We might find it online using Google. Sorry,,, Ron

We change ours once a year. Not sure if that is what is recommended though...

I don't know either.I had one put in my house and the other put in to my mother's, and they look and operate just the same. I'm thinking it may be a case of different model year names.

its hard to cross reference parts by unit M/N. See if the old inducer has a part number and call your local united refrigeration they should be able to help you out

I try to replace them every 6 months. They are expensive but better than drinking bad water. Unfortunately there is no gage or monitor for this system. Also, use extreme caution in installation. They can leak if not perfectly seated on the gasket ring. The leak will be explosive, not slow.
