Appliances (Frigidaire) was one of the first businesses GM was driven out of in the late 70s. Paying UAW level wages (the employees were actually IUE union but had a parity contract clause relative to UAW) made them totally uncompetitive in the industry.

When I need to replace an appliance the first thing is to know what I am looking at isn’t GE, or associated with GE. I have despised GE for many, many years, and will never buy GE.
