Just had this side by side installed yesterday. Got to the recommend temperatures quicker than owners manual said it would. The only noise we have heard is the ice dropping in the ice dispenser. The only complaint I have so far is that so far it has made very little ice.
Replaced a similar GE side by side with this one and it seems well designed. Shelves on the door are very easy to adjust and are deep and wide. The door handles are solid and comfortable to use. Instructions are clear and easy to understand.
I bought my new refrig Dec. 15 and installed Dec. 22. I had a holiday party for 40 guest and I was able to fit all the items I pre & post prepared. I love the adjustable door racks with can hold my ga-zillion bottles of marinades, salad dressing and condiments.
Bought refrigerator about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Really like the size of shelving in the doors, the drawers inside, and, so far, the dependability of the ice maker and the size of the container for ice. (On a competitor's refrigerator, I was constantly having to deal with a jammed ice maker). Also, like ability to monitor temperatures of fridge and freezer from the door panel. Both sides maintain temperatures well.
Yes this refrigerator does keep food cold and has a water and ice dispenser but it also has the most annoying loud low pitched whistle you have ever heard. The whistle never if ever stops. I am considering replacing the unit.
