Great Space/ Temp concerns
on February 25, 2026

from Erie, PA
I picked this fridge because 1. Fit the dimensions of the available space in my kitchen
2. Had a drainer drawer off the top shelf - which is not available in most units anymore. It is a very spacious fridge. The freezer also has a glass shelf, which makes a huge difference in storing frozen food! Love that feature.
3. I felt that it was a good price for the product overall.

It sadly is not energy efficient- but that isnt going to change your monthly by much at all
My only complaint is that I feel like the bottom of the fridge does not get cold enough (for my peace of mind), while products at the top freeze at times. I just practice caution in where I place certain items - which is what everyone else should do. When I place hot food in my fridge. I do get concerned that it is not cooling the food down fast enough and that the tempature of the fridge is impacted.
This is a great fridge.I would recommend it to anyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great purchase
on February 26, 2026
Posted by: Kathyh7
I replaced a thirty something year old refrigerator. I had to wait for a sale, so it was putting up with leakage from the old one. It’s perfect for the limited space we have in a townhouse kitchen. It’s not fancy but seems to have larger capacity. I like the storage drawers: 3 instead of 2. I don’t like ice makers and we couldn’t have it anyway. It’s a perfect fit and it works well. Advice: measure often to make sure your new appliance will fit. I did. This website would not initially me choose “shelving” which I think is a very positive feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was a wise purchase. The icemaker works well. The drawer can slide on the shelf. The produce drawers are deep.

You've made an absolutely amazing choice by going with this model. It really does offer a lot of capacity for all of your items. Another amazing feature is the fingerprint resistant stainless steel, which makes it easier to keep the exterior clean, creating that sleek look for your space.

top freezer and refrigerator
on March 6, 2026
Posted by: field frustrating
Fridge motor is annoyingly loud. Both fridge and freezer doors cause the other door to pop open when closed. We consistently need to check doors to ensure they remain closed.
Size is good. We needed a small model to fit a small kitchen space.

We’re glad to hear the refrigerator’s size is a good fit for your space, and we’d like to provide information about this model. We expect that newer model refrigerators may sound a bit different than older models you may be used to, because of additional features and newer technology. We have information about what sounds you may hear from the refrigerator on page 19 of the manual, which is linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--aaGiedxB--/655639008f6b7929eab555b41231e6b46a04df36.pdf.
We also have more information about both normal and unusual sounds you may hear at the below links:
https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=15901
https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17473
Regarding the doors opening when the other is closed, we can advise this isn’t unusual. The refrigerator and freezer sections are connected by air channels, and shutting one door can push air from one section to the other, opening the other door. If the doors aren’t closing again on their own, we recommend ensuring the refrigerator is leveled so that the front is slightly higher, to allow the doors to fall shut easily. More information is available in this article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16979.
Your feedback about your refrigerator will be shared with our product team for future consideration.

Refrigerator
on March 8, 2026
Posted by: Eber57
Refrigerator freezer is just what I wanted.. Perfect size for the space . I'm not really happy with how the temperature is adjusted because I can't control each unit..I received no owners manual so if there was a way to control each unit I have no idea how that would work since thee is only one dial.That's really my only complaint.As far as installation the installers were wonderful.. They were courteous and very helpful ..
