This thing is a piece of junk! The fridge I had prior was likely 30 years old and worked perfectly. This fridge was leaking water in the first 3 months. The repair guy told me I didn’t have the right kind of food in my freezer to keep it cold enough! He then decided that maybe it need a new part in the water dispenser… but now 1 month after the 1 year warranty it is leaking again.. I will never buy another GE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Greetings,
Please accept our apologies regarding your refrigerator. This is not the experience we want for our customers and certainly understand your frustration. We'd like to look into this, so one of our agents is going to send you an email. Please be sure to watch for it. Thanks. Mike@GEA
This refrigerator was delivered with a non-functioning water system and ice maker. The store is unable to find the part they believe is needed and can not give us an estimate of when it will be fixed. It has been over two weeks now and we still have no ice or water. They seem to be in no hurry and have not been good about communicating the status.
Additionally, this is the noisiest refrigerator I have ever owned. It does cool well. At this point, that is the only good thing I can say about this refrigerator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

...that carried this style refrigerator in the size I needed. And I really wanted a french-door fridge. I replaced a 20 year old side by side. I have had this refrigerator for a little over a month (on backorder since January 2022!).
It is very "cute" even if its not the color I originally wanted. I am a very practical person, I prefer functionality over aesthetics, but It looks very good in my newly remodeled kitchen. It's small (even smaller than the side by side I replaced), but the kids have moved out of the house so it works. Because it IS small, this model doesn't get all the bells and whistles of the larger refrigerators, but that's OK. I only had one requirement besides having french doors...I needed an external ice & water dispenser. This has it, however, you have to switch between water & ice. I'm finding it hard to transition from my old fridge in which there was a dispenser for each. You do have to ensure the cup is very close to the opening for the ice, or ice will shoot outside the cup. I do like that it will not make more ice if the container is full.
The lights in both the fridge & freezer are LED bright. The light will shut off if you leave the door open too long!
This fridge makes a lot of noises, and they are louder than I am used to. I expect to hear the compressor make noise from time to time, I just didn't expect it to be so jarring when it does. I can hear the water/ice filling from my living room, which is probably 20 feet and half a wall away. Definitely can hear the ice drop. There is also a clicking noise (or something dropping) after dispensing the ice.
The doors are hard to close, so I am actually grateful for the door alarm. I have to actually push the door all the way to close (I think there is something like a vaccuum seal to the french doors?), where as on my old fridge, we just swung the door, and it closed. Just another thing I have to get used to.
Overall it is a nice refrigerator, so far. My items are cold and/or frozen how they are supposed to be. There is plenty storage on the doors as well. The freezer is small, which suits me fine, but if my household size increases, I may need to think about getting a separate freezer.
Makes noises. Sound like it is POSSESSED ICEMAKER LEAKS AND FREEZES UP FROM BEGINNING
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
