Dead after 15 Months

This refrigerator is 15 months old and the thermostat went out on it already. Just over a year old. Absolute junk. Lost all of the food in the fridge and freezer. Repair is going to cost hundreds of dollars. Ridiculous that a brand new fridge doesn't even last a year and a half. This fridge has been well-maintained and taken care of. Do NOT buy!!!

We’d like to review the situation further regarding your refrigerator not cooling. An agent will be reaching out via email, please respond at your earliest convenience.
There is no light in the freezer. Cooling has been an issue since day 1. A "repair man" came to check it and did nothing to check it. Was a total waste of my time. Poor placement of temperature settings. Temp setting were placed in the front in center of the refrigerator which blocks you from putting anything taller than a 16 ounce bottle of water on the top center of the shelf. There is a substantial dent in the white plastic in the freezer which was seen by the "repair man" but nothing was done. I do not recommend this refrigerator.

We would like to provide you with some information about your refrigerator’s design and operation. Most of our top freezer refrigerators do not have an interior light, and we will pass your feedback along to our product team to review. The temperature controls are located upfront and are designed to be easily accessed right when you open the door. Regarding your refrigerator temperature we recommend lowering the temperature a few degrees, ensuring the compartments are at least ½ full, and ensure proper air clearance around your refrigerator. You can view more troubleshooting tips for your refrigerator temperature here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21185. We would like to assist you with your refrigerator temperature and multiple service appointments. An agent will be reaching out to you via email to gather some further information from you to determine how we can best assist. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
The noise level is considerably louder than my previous refrigerator. The shelving is acceptable, but the deli drawer is too small. Also, the bottom shelf on the door is poorly designed & difficult to reach. Finally, the ice maker was improperly Installed and a service call was required.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Newer refrigerators may sound different than older models as they use updated technology and include more 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. We will be passing your comments about the deli drawer and bottom shelf over to our product team to review. We're glad that you got in touch with service and was able to get your icemaker working again.
We don't rave about appliances very often, but this 19.2 cubic foot is awesome. The primary reason is the overall design. It has a very good allocation of space, very thoughtfully designed.
I love the refrigerator. No complicated touch panels, great compartments for vegetables and cheese drawer. Ice Maker, and plenty of freezer capacity. Fits in a compact space in my condominium kitchen and comes in WHITE to match my other appliances.
The worse GE product I ever purchased. Been buying GE products for over fifty year, this was the worse thing I ever purchased. Product from day one did not cool and made loud noises. Only good thing that happened the store sent it back and we had to purchase another product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to provide some information on your refrigerator's sound level. Newer refrigerators may sound different than older models. Because they use updated technology and include more features, it’s normal to hear them running during regular operation. You can find additional information on refrigerator's, including this model, sounds here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=15901.
