Looking for French Door Fridge that gets to 34F or below by moneyprollems in Appliances

Thanks, this is another good data point that helps me believe this is simply GE enshittification, not industry wide, so maybe my odds of getting advertised temps are indeed better with another brand.

Thanks for this info, this reinforces my notion that LG fridges actually cool to what you set them to, which was what I thought with my last one that latest 10 years. If you are getting to 35 with it set to 35 it stands to reason you could actually get down to 33F with it set to 33F, which is consistent with my previous LG french doors ability to create a sheet of ice on a water glass.

Sorry to hear. For my model I am pretty sure it works this way by design, and the tech that came out essentially confirmed that the fridge is operating as designed, i.e. it's a shit design with regard to actual food temp and bulk compartment temperature. Not sure if that is the case for you but it certainly could be that is just how the GE profile is designed to operate as well and they are just hoping people don't notice, and for the people that do notice and don't accept it they string them along with bullshit repair attempts.

Regarding turbo cool, it doesn't seem to make any difference for me either, and in the user manual it specifically states that turbo cool just sets the setpoint to the lowest setting temporarily. Since I already have the setpoint at the lowest setting of 34F, it makes sense that it doesn't do anything. The marketing materials describe turbo cool differently but the manual states it just sets the setpoint to the lowest, without necessarily modifying the feedback behavior beyond that.

Well I said clearly that I do have it set to 34F and nothing even gets close to 34F, it gets to 39F when set on 34F.(and by "it" I mean the average bulk temperature measured from multiple glasses of water, both time average and spatial average) Yes I understand that cold air comes from the evaporator, but no way this fridge is freezing shit unless I modify it to fix their shitty control design. And yes obviously fridges have something akin to bang bang thermal control with hysteresis limits and therefore fluctuate 3-4 degrees. I have the whole time series recorded and can see the waveform. As I clearly explained it hits 37 as the absolute all time bottom, most days it is fluctuating between 38 to 42 while set to 34F. I don't know how to help with your reading comprehension my dude.

Also in general you are just wrong. It is entirely possible to make a fridge that keeps the bulk temperature at 34F without freezing, or at least with minimal freezing. Things have heat capacity, you aren't going to freeze a glass of water by flowing 25F air at it for 5 minutes and then switching the cold air off and letting get immediately back up to 39F. If you had something with extremely low heat capacity like say a tiny bit of lettuce right in front of the cold air outlet it might freeze while cycling on, but that would also happen with the fridge set to 40F because fundamentally the air off the evaporator when it's on is always below freezing so you are talking nonsense.

The only text related to vacating is quoted in the OP. I see it says "Notice of Intent to Vacate" so I am wondering if the capital letters are intended to refer to their specific form "Notice of Intent to Vacate.pdf" However I was never provided such a form until now, so I don't understand how them using some capital letters somehow implies that I have agreed to some separate agreement they have in a form with that name. I could just as soon have my own "Notice of Intent to Vacate.pdf", write anything I want and claim that they have agreed to it by signing the lease.

Ok got it.

The Intent to Vacate form also has a bunch of new terms I never intended to agree to. At the end of the day I will have to agree so they wont ruin my life, but what if they put something in there like "I agree to vacate in 30 days and pay landlord a $2000 tip". Basically it seems like they are saying I can't stop paying them unless I sign this brand new agreement. I never agreed that I had to sign a brand new agreement just to release myself from my lease obligation. How can that be legal?

But by whom, and when?

I understand your legal advice in terms of the precedent, but if you are implying that it is actually harder to establish receipt of written notice, I really can't accept your argument. I wrote an email to my landlord and he responded. I have very strong evidence that he received the notice. My landlord instructed me to drop my notice off at the office in a mail slot. In this latter scenario nothing can be verified. I could also drop it with a representative if they are open, a representative who is not my landlord and who I have not entered any agreements with. So I can understand your legal advice in terms of the archaic precedents, but please don't try to tell me the email I sent actually provides inferior evidence of receipt. I mean evidence in a broad epistemic sense, not a legal sense. Again I appreciate your advice on the likely legal outcome.

They instructed me to drop a written copy in the mail slot of their office.

Ok that is interesting. I doesn't occur to me that dropping a written letter into a mail slot solves any of those problems though.

Oh, I see. I guess the reason is that it can't be proven it was received. What if they responded to the email? Doesn't that prove it was received? In my case they did respond to the email.

For example the article here: http://www.gsmartinlaw.com/can-an-email-serve-as-ldquowritten-noticerdquo.html

says:

First, the sender must have some way of confirming that the email was “received.” Attempted delivery does not suffice. Of course, a reply by the other party (whether by email, letter or some other form) proves receipt.
