Basic refrigerator freezer
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: cwald
from Sandy, Utah
It gets the job done. Probably the noisiest refrigerator we've ever owned in decades. The temperature control is very limited. When we set it so the food in the refrigerator doesn't freeze, the temperature in the freezer is colder than recommended in the instructions.

We'd like to help go over the sounds and the temperature setting.
There can be a lot of sounds that may be noticed from normal operation of your refrigerator. We recommend viewing the following article to view a list of sounds that are considered normal to notice: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=15901
If you suspect that any of the sounds are not from normal operation, we recommend scheduling service. You can do so by calling 1-833-426-3393 or by visiting this link: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
As for the temperature setting, our recommend setting is "3". However, there can be certain factors that impact the overall temperature. Since the cold air coming into the fresh food section originates in the freezer above, the rear of the top shelf will be the coldest spot in the fresh food area. Avoid placing delicate items that freeze easily on the back half of this shelf. You can view additional troubleshooting information here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=20491

We are more than happy to provide guidance with the freezer sound. We have provided some normal operation sounds on page 19 of the Owner's Manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--am5aW4wp--/68e6a94012712e9254a986f4235800dc26ec277e.pdf

Great refrigerator for a small price.

We bought this bare bones refrigerator for our office kitchen. So far, it's been a pleasant surprise. Lots of room inside, with adjustable shelves, and a hanging drawer that slides from side to side is very helpful for tall objects. Keeps the inside nice and cool. Very good find!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just enough improvement
on July 15, 2025

I had a similar refrigerator for 10 years. I wanted something as close to that one as possible.
This one is almost exactly the same refrigerator. But there are little improvements throughout the whole thing.

Great refrigerator for the money.

This refrigerator met my expectations for capacity, as I needed something that could handle food for 2 people. The configuration for the fridge was thought out nicely and handles the bottles, food, and other items perfectly. The noise level is a little louder than I expected and would want, but it's not overpowering; it's just a bit noisy for my liking. I can't comment on the efficiency as I don't have a good baseline for how much electricity I use now vs. what I had before. This is due to the fact that my prior refrigerator was considerably larger.
I would recommend this to a friend!
