Hi, love the look and extra space this frig offers. I am also getting some ice collection in the back wall as others have mentioned. My question is about the hardened foam around the wiring in the back of frig. Is this normal or is this a concern? Please let me know. I’ll attach an image. Thank you!
I have 2 new undercounted drawer refrigerators. From day one both refrigerators have uneven drawers that do not close properly. The seals do not close tightly and causes daily ice build up in the back of the fridge. The misalignment doesn’t trigger the open drawer alarm so it’s impossible to know when the fridges are closed improperly. Fridges are 2 months old.

It looks pretty but it does not maintain a low enough temperature and, I can only put certain bottles of wine/liquor inside because many are taller the drawer heights -both drawers are same height, which does not help.

I bought this drawer fridge to supplement the counter depth fridge in my new kitchen. I am pleased with the amount of space in this appliance! It is fantastic for holding milk, juice, beer, pop, and snacks that frees up much space in the main fridge. The drawers are soft close and very easy to open and close. Smooth! The only thing I’m not thrilled about is that it cycles fairly often and is not noisy but not silent either. Fits beautifully in a 25” opening under the countertops without any necessary trim kit. Easy install…great operation, and ample space. Nice buy!!
We like the product very much. One caveat, sometimes the top drawer does not close completely resulting in significant condensation to accumulate in the drawer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased two of these for my bar in my new home. The white and gold are gorgeous finishes! The doors are a little tricky to close however and I've already noticed water in the back of the drawers. Not sure how long they will last.

Hi there, and thanks for reaching out to us about this beautiful drawer refrigerator! We’re so glad you enjoy the finish; the picture you provided shows this compliments your new home design wonderfully! We do hate to hear you have some concerns over the doors and moisture in the drawers. We know that may cause inconvenience and would like to assist.
We especially hate to hear you’ve had an issue with closing, as these doors were designed to be Soft Close and shut quietly and securely. You may want to double check that there are no small obstructions keeping the door from completely closing. We will certainly also send your feedback on the doors to our Design team for review.
If there is moisture on the interior of the drawer, this may be because of high humidity. We would recommend drying the surface and adjusting the temperature to be slightly colder. Alternately, if the gasket is not sealing properly that can lead to a moisture issue; you may want to check the gasket is clean and has no gaps or kinks preventing a proper seal. Additional details on this as well as other troubleshooting steps are available in your manual, starting on page 14.
We hope this information is helpful, so you can get back to enjoying your beautiful bar in your new home without any concerns. We are available if you have any other questions. Best wishes! -Sarah@Cafe

Hello there,
We're quite sorry to hear that your bottom drawer is not closing properly and absolutely understand being frustrated. We would recommend checking to make sure is nothing is obstructing such as bottles, food, spills, etc. It is possible that the refrigerator is not level and may need adjusting. Check page 13 of the manual for instructions. https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000129-2.pdf
