Form over function, wasted space

We are very disappointed in this refrigerator. The ice maker is huge. I suspect it is the one made for the 'door ice dispenser' model. As such, it takes away much space. It is not simple to get the ice cubes out, although they fall down onto the shelves by themselves. If you want all of the ice cubes at once, you have to pull out the heavy clunky container. Very inconvenient. Valuable space is also reduced due to the door shelves being curved to make them look snazzy, but the inside shelves have to be less deep to accommodate this. Also making the door shelves less deep is the back lighting, which I think is unnecessary.
From the beginning the refrigerator has made loud motor noises when the freezer door is closed. The interior doors are frosted up and the ice maker over flows ice onto the lower shelves.
I had to buy a 48' refrigerator to fit a fixed space. The GE met that requirement but it seems a strangely incomplete product: The light in the freezer section is very dim, compared with the refrigerator side; Shelf and door shelf spacing is wasteful and lacks basic racks, like eggs; the ice maker overfills the bin and spews cubes into the freezer section; installing wood side panels as specified covers up significant side vents on the right side; it's louder than I expected.
