GE 27990GE3 Cordless Phone - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Phone has beep & no dial tone. Screen says its searching
I was unable to locate a manual for your phone online, but can offer some suggestions to solve your problem.Most cordless phones beep in battery low, out of range, and other situations. Since it is also displaying the "Searching" message, it indicates that it lost its link with the base due to being brought too far from it or the battery power has fallen to low to permit use as far as it may have worked before.The quick fix is to simply place the phone into the base / charger. This re-establishes a security link between the cordless handset and your telephone line. This is a safeguard that is used to prevent others with the same cordless phone from merely getting "near your base / charger" and gaining access to your dial tone to place calls on your phone line.If the battery is low, it should left to remain on the base / charger long enough to fully charge the battery. If the battery fails to charge, there may be an issue with the base / charger; but it is much more likely to be a problem with a battery that has reached the end of its useful life (batteries seldom last more than a couple of years and may not last a single year depending on usage). Either condition will require replacement of the faulty device before using again. If you need more help, you may want to try Thompson Electronics (if purchased prior to 2011) at 800-448-0329 or their
website; as it appears GE contracts with them for support after the warranty period.Good luck!

I have a GE model #29893GE1-B it is connected and plugged in, but no dial tone
Remove all the phones on the system. Remove all the handset batteries. Plug in one old style corded phone to the main phone jack, it is normally the one closest to the front door. Do you have dial tone? If not, it is your Telco. If you have a dial tone, plug all the other phones in testing for a dial tone as you go.

Why is my GE washer leaking water from the right front corner?
A leak coming from the front of a front-load washer is often caused by a damaged or dirty door seal. If the door seal is cracked or loose, it will need to be replaced in order to restore a watertight seal. Always ensure all clothes pockets are empty prior to washing, as objects left in pockets can damage the door seal.

Trying to find replacement phone battery for GE model 2-9421A phone set s/n 80052268.
If you mean the long-life lithium backup battery for the corded 2-line GE 2-9421 (A indicating the sales region), that is a 3V Lithium battery. The part number 5-1923 appears to be a common CR2032 coin cell battery. These are used as backup batteries for Eraseable Programmable ROM on many devices, including computers.. One source is https://www.batteriesdirect.com/product/details/button-cell-batteries/ge/5-1923 . Any CR2032 from a reputable manufacturer will work.
I hope this helps.
