GE has also spun off a lot of appliance units that it used to make.

Yes, in the 2000’s GE started sourcing product from other manufacturers and sticking their name on it, most of them giving us a black eye.
The free standing ice machines from Whirlpool were a particular pain in the butt.
GE would buy the parts from the source and mark them up 100% and it made repairs astronomical.
A recirculation pump was $350 for the part, repair total was over $550.
They were a cash cow for me as a repair tech, because replacement units cost $2000.
