I love my new refrigerator. The features are exactly what I wanted. It just didn't come with an egg tray. Of course we purchased it without physically be ableto check it out. But all in all I love it.
Loudest refrigerator I’ve ever had. It runs often and for a long time. I’ve been listening to it for two hours now. It was running when I woke up even though the doors hadn’t been opened for 8 hours. This is the only time I didn’t see my electric bill decrease after getting a new refrigerator.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback regarding your new GE bottom-freezer refrigerator. We are sorry to hear that you find the refrigerator to be noisier than you would prefer, and that the refrigerator seems to be running constantly.
The refrigerator may run 75% - 90% of the time, and in hot, humid areas, may even approach 100% run time. Modern refrigerators save energy by running longer, but at a slower speed. Most of the energy used in a refrigerator is from starting the compressor.
These are factors that contribute to a refrigerator running too frequently or too long:
- The compressor will run longer after the initial installation or after a long power outage. - The refrigerator will run more if the room has high humidity or high temperature. - Doors may have been opened frequently or for an extended period of time. - Warm food may have been placed in the fresh food or freezer compartment. - Check the gasket for a proper seal. Make sure it is not damaged.
We hope this information provides some peace of mind, and that you will enjoy your new refrigerator and the cooling capabilities, capacity, and convenience this has to offer. Thank you for choosing GE Appliances for your home! -Devin@GEA
Love the bottom freezer design. Disagree that it should cost twice as much just to have freezer on bottom. And it’s LOUD, everything on it vibrates, shakes and rattles.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
