Continuous Build-up of Ice on Freezer Floor
on May 20, 2023
Posted by: MGNJ
from NJ
We were happy with our 2 year old refrigerator until ice began to build up on the freezer bottom every few weeks. This despite our paying attention to closing the freezer door. Ice also builds up on the bottom door edge and may interfere with the bottom door seal. Also, the refrigerant can now be heard circulating in the system where the unit used to be quiet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We’re sorry to hear that your refrigerator has started to frost up and that you’ve begun hearing noises from the refrigeration system. We know having a fridge and freezer that work like they should is important, and we want to help. We recommend taking a look at the article below for some things you can try on your own to stop your freezer from frosting.
https://repair.geappliances.com/resources/ge-freezer/why-is-my-freezer-frosting-up
Refrigerators can make a wide variety of sounds during operation, and we know that having a new one pop up is concerning. We recommend taking a look at these next links for sounds you may hear when your refrigerator is running.

Abnormal:

If none of that helps, this model does have a 5-year warranty on the sealed refrigerating system. We recommend having the issue diagnosed by a certified GE technician. You can schedule service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or by going to https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm.

4 service calls/2 months later, still not working
on November 30, 2021
Posted by: Sean Ryan
from Lewes, DE
I purchased this the counter depth refrigerator as a part of a complete appliance package (fridge, microwave, dishwasher, oven range) for a full renovation of a duplex kitchen. The Cafe line of GE appliances look very sleek and that feature appealed to me.
However, my refrigerator and freezer has NEVER actually cooled. I had professional installation and now after after 4 separate service calls, 2 groups of technicians and over 2 months (first service call on 9/23/21), confirmation 064863702, I still have a non-functioning refrigerator.
This refrigerator is for a rental unit and I cannot rent the unit without a working appliance. I have lost at least 3 months of rental income and still no end to the problem in sight. If you find yourself in need of nice appearing appliances for personal or rental properties, at this point I would suggest looking to another, more reliable brand. Had I read the reviews prior to purchasing, I would not be surprised by the performance of this appliance.
I plan to request full refund and removal of this appliance if my 5th service call produces the same result. I also appreciate the replies from GE on this unfavorable reviews on this website, "contact if you have any questions," without actually providing specific information to do so.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Some good features

Very much like the light is soft when you open the fridge, then brightens. Door storage would be better if the shelves ran the entire length rather than divided in 2. Like that you can open the produce drawers without pulling out the whole drawer. Wish the crisper storage was more generous, the produce bins could be smaller. Seems to keep proper temp.
I would recommend this to a friend!
