Junk refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The refrigerator sounds like it’s about to die and I’ve already got it on the top number five to keep it cold enough for the food and I just bought the thing a few months ago

We want to clarify some information regarding the sound level of your refrigerator. It is important to remember that newer refrigerators may sound different than older models and have updated technology and features. The compressor in a refrigerator is designed to run 80-90% of the time, which is more energy efficient than stopping and starting frequently, so you may hear it during normal operation. You can find more information regarding regular sounds in the following article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=15901.
If the sounds you are experiencing are not from normal operation, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
I love GE since I won a GE Science contest in 1978 as an 8 year old. The fridge works great. The freezer is cold enough to keep my ice cream cold. And the fridge part is cold enough to keep my milk from going bad!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We'd like to assist with the cooling performance of your refrigerator. Firstly, check the temperature of the installation. Your refrigerator may not cool properly if installed in a location which experiences temperatures below 60°F or above 110°F. Also, large containers in the back may block the flow of cold air and adversely affect the temperatures in the refrigerator. Be sure to move tall items forward so they don't block the air flow. For more troubleshooting, you can refer to the following article here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21185
If the unit still won't cool properly, please call 1-833-4BODEWELL or visit this site: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
This refrigerator has nice clean lines and looks good in my kitchen. It cools nicely but it is loud! I did size down from a double door with the freezer below and I’m still trying to adjust. But my biggest complaint is how loud it is! Had I known this before I wouldn’t have bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Everything is great, and the slate color is perfect for us. However it did not have a pigtail from the factory, so an icemaker can not be hooked up.
I would recommend this to a friend!
