Effective January 1, 2022, GE began marketing their Sabbath Mode ovens without STAR-K certification. Certified ovens purchased and delivered prior to January 1, 2022, remain certified.
Consumers seeking to purchase cooking appliances compatible with Shabbos and Yom Tov are advised to select models certified by a reliable kashrus organization.
Consumers who have questions or concerns about this issue can contact GE directly at 1-800-626-2005.
OU Kosher is in the process of certifying several shabbos friendly GE Appliances. These were certified by #STARKosher.
As of Jan 2022, some of these appliances will come under the supervision of OU Kosher.
Additional information from the OU can be found in the following article: Transition to OU Kosher Supervision Brings Improvements to Shabbos Mode on “GEA” Division Ovens and Refrigerators.
