Water Dispenser and Ice Maker Aren’t Great
on May 21, 2024
Posted by: AJR437
from Lewes, DE
Less than 3 weeks after moving into our newly renovated home, the water dispenser went from dispensing water straight down to dispensing it at an angle for no apparent reason, and now it leaks after use. Likewise, when the icemaker fills up and the arm moves in to stop ice-making, the arm “freezes” in place and doesn’t automatically pop out to start making ice again - so we find ourselves with a near-empty ice bin. We’ve put in a service call to our retailer, but this seems odd for a brand new unit. In addition, the whole water dispenser is placed too far back for a typical water glass. If you press your glass or hand against the dispenser arm, you have to position the glass almost tilted outward to make sure the water gets into the glass — and that’s with a tall glass!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear about the leak going on with the dispenser. We're confident that this can get repaired by our technicians. That way you can enjoy your new refrigerator to its fullest capabilities.
The size of the built in worked for us- I have had Profile lines in the past and I have always been a fan of GE. Like the fridge but I have never been happy with the ice dispenser. It seems the ice rotor (?) takes way too long to break down the ice to dispense. Currently having issues with it actually making ICE. its hit or miss- I need to get someone out to look at it. I'm wondering if I can install a different ice maker that makes smaller cubes. Maybe from a different model?

We’re thrilled to hear you’ve been enjoying the attractive appearance of your new refrigerator, and that the quiet performance has left you satisfied. We really love the convenience of the external water dispenser, and the climate-controlled drawers are excellent at keeping your foods fresh for longer.
Replaced our 17 year old Monogram built-in refrigerator with this new Cafe and really like the new design detail features. Very subtle, but excellent improvements.
