The refrigerator is attractive and very convenient. The versatility of the shelves is great. The tilt out baskets in the freezer are the first ones we ever had and so far they seem to be easy to use.
I hate this refrigerator. There is no space and the water dispenser does not accommodate anything but a regular glass. None of our water bottles fit under the dispenser so we have to fill a glass with ice, then water to fill our cups! There is no space inside and the bottom drawers in both of the refrigerator and freezer are only partial. I would be shocked if the inside is the 21’, I think it is impossible! I have only had it a few days and am just sick over the purchase! No space and poor design!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review for your fridge. We're so sorry to hear about the disappointment with the interior design. Know that we do appreciate hearing from you, it's how we get better!
If you've got questions or concerns about the functionality of your appliances, know that you're always free to reach out.
Within 6 months of installing this refrigerator, it started making a loud buzzing noise approx once every hours - loud enough to wake up a child sleeping in the next room. We have had GE out to fix it 3 times already and it keeps recurring. Now GE says our warrantee is expired and we'll have to pay for further repairs of the same problem that they haven't fixed the first 3 times out to our house.

Hello - Thanks for your review. We are sorry you continue experiencing the same issue after your refrigerator was serviced and now it is out of warranty. We are forwarding your review to our case management team for further assistance. You should hear from them soon. We apologize for the inconvenience. Olga@Cafe
Exterior look is good. Inside capacity feels small. The quick space shelf is a nice feature but wish it locked into position better. It is easy to bump it and have it shift backward. Bottom produce drawer is only half the depth of the other drawers which limits capacity. We have had this fridge 3 weeks and already had to have a service call for one of the refrigerator doors creaking every time it opens. It seemed fixed and now the creaking is back. Do not think I would buy this model again.

Hi there,
Thanks for the review and thanks also for letting us know what you think about your new fridge. Sorry to hear that you're not totally pleased with it and this creaking noise is back. We can understand how that'd be frustrating.
The quickest and cleanest way to eliminate the squeaking of a refrigerator door is to lubricate the top and bottom hinges with the below recommended oils, then work the door back and forth until the noise goes away.
-Paraffin wax (not candle wax) - can also be used on the door gaskets
-Petroleum jelly - recommended for hinges, door gaskets and Fresh Food drawers/bins (including rollers)
-Mineral oil - general use anywhere, can be washed off
If these tips don't help then we'd recommend reaching back out to our service team to have them reassess the issue. Our team can be found here: https://www.cafeappliances.com/support/schedule-service
Love the look of our new fridge. We bought the entire Cafe appliance package. Unfortunately, this refrigerator is my least favorite of all of them. Not as much room inside as expected and arrived with ice machine not working. Had that fixed at no cost by GE, but now the water dispenser is not working. We’ve had it for a little over a month.
