Built into a brand new home 5 years ago. It has nonsense controls so you end up using the express setting most of the time. It has low power for heating items. the light went out after year 3 and you cant replace it. now the door latch sensor is malfunctioning and it will not run. already replaced Cafe Fridge and Cafe Dishwasher. time to move on. TIme to
This is very expensive product I bought in 2014 and it stopped running after just 6 yrs. After pressing start button is says "can not stop while cooking" well I have to press start to begin cooking process in the first place and then I let it do and after a while it says SENSOR ERROR
We are having same problem that others are reporting. It stays on unless the door is opened and no other way to shut off. This is a major defect of some kind of interlock. Mine is a 2012 GE Cafe model.
We are experiencing a major issue here with this microwave. Right now, the microwave stays permanently on and HEATING, unless you open the lid. The only way to shut it off is to permanently keep the lid open. Obviously, this could be a significant safety issue. This unit was manufactured in 2014 and first used in 2015, so barely 5 years of service. Dissatisfied!
Loved the appliance for it's short-lived life. Having built a new home, designed my kitchen and invested around GE cafe package and the entire "brain" went out after 3 years.
I expected a cafe series to last 10 plus years but here we are 4 years later and it is not working at all. The clock count down works but no spinning plate and no heating happening. I guess I will just buy the cheap models knowing they last less than 5 years.
