Our Profile fridge quit after more than 10 years of spotless service. I decided to "upgrade" to the Cafe line. After a few months wait due to the pandemic, we finally took delivery of our new Cafe refrigerator. It's gorgeous -- minor differences in the interior layout. And now just 2 months after receiving it, the icemaker quit! You know how I know? It has the same sound as our 10-year-old Profile when the ice maker stopped working. What is happening to GE quality???

We truly appreciate you upgrading your home with this beautiful Café side-by-side refrigerator to replace your Profile model that served you and your family for so many years and being such a loyal member of the GE Appliances family!

It is very important to us to support you in these circumstances and we would love to offer you some direction in this! We would encourage you to first refer to the icemaker information on pages 11-12, as well as the possible causes for icemaker issues within the helpful troubleshooting guide on page 29 of your Use and Care manual, seen here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000209-2.pdf.

I bought this for my new kitchen. I bought the stove and dishwasher too. I’m still waiting for the dishwasher to arrive. I love the sophisticated look. I wish they made a drawer microwave!! I had to order a different brand, but it hasn’t arrived either.
Bought this few months ago, and I'm loving it!!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there,
Thanks so much for reviewing this amazing refrigerator. Congratulations on the recent purchase! We're delighted to hear that you have been loving it so far. We hope you'll enjoy everything this refrigerator has to offer! Stay safe. Mike@Cafe
Takes care of my food, but tilts back at an unsightly angle in order to get the doors to close. Specs say front should be 5/8” higher than back, but installers had to raise front 1.25” higher than back for proper door function. It looks totally weird!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello- Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are very sorry to hear you are having this issue. The doors typically won't close on their own if that is what the installers were trying to accomplish. We recommend that you request the doors be leveled according to the installation instructions. Refer to page 22 in your manual:
We have a kitchen full of cafe appliances which we love. Sadly, we had to replace our french door, bottom freezer model with this one because of size constraints. It is a beautiful fridge with clean lines and great lighting, but a little small for our produce needs. We have to be super organized and really plan when shopping, but overall it is a quality refrigerator.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We replaced a 16 year old GE profile refrigerator with this one (same dimensions). The interior lighting is great and the layout is also great. It seems like we have more useable space inside. The only downside to us is that the refrigerator is a lot noisier than our old one. This is the reason we gave it a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star
