Leader in connected appliances gives owners access to expert support by phone or online every day of the week

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Owners don’t have to be tech savvy to enjoy the benefits of GE Appliances’ intuitive connected technologies. But owners will have questions— and they probably won’t pop up during normal business hours.
