Ratings and Q&A

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bwarnke67 from Great features for cooks and bakers The Precise Fill and Hot Water features sold this refrigerator for. Not once, but twice. I purchased it to replace an old refrigerator and absolutely loved the Precise Fill and Hot Water features because they are time savers when baking and cooking. Then we moved and left the refrigerator with the house while our new home was being built. We purchased this same model for our new home as well. And we still love it!

Rated 3 out of 5 by 360Mitch from NOISY FOR PRICE PAID We are in our first month with new Cafe Series refrigerator. Water valve makes a very loud clap noise when it shuts off. Not a big issue. The ice maker water valve is another issue. When water is filling the ice maker tray it makes a very loud chattering noise and then the loud clap when it shuts off. You can here it all the way upstairs when the ice tray fills. Will be calling service on this item. The good: Lots of room in the fridge. Very good lay out. No issues at this point with defrost or veggie drawers. Looks great

Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry nmn from Love the GE Cafe Series with Hot water dispenser Made in America was one of the reasons we purchased the Cafe Series with hot water dispenser. We are so happy with it. Addressing other reviews I read - we find it is quiet, we only hear the ice when it is dropping (vs our old fridge heard water filling ice dispenser and ice loading). The only con I have is the butter door does not recede in when opening so you need to hold the butter door open. Our old fridge butter door did recede into top of butter section - never realized until that feature was gone how great it was. Definitely wouldn't stop me from purchasing this fridge again though.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Disastisfied customer from This fridge is GARBAGE!!! We bought this fridge the middle of December and have nothing but issues. First, the left produce drawer froze all my vegetables and I had to throw them away. Second, the freezer at times will get a layer of frost on everything. Which has given my food freezer burn. Third, it started making a noise so loud my husband thought it was a car having trouble outside! We recorded it on video to show the service technician. This thing is not even two months old and it’s nothing but issues. We had a tech out to confirm that the freezer doesn’t shut properly due to the top drawer not going in far enough when pushed it. Which he said couldn’t be replaced because technically there was nothing wrong with it I just had to manually push it in EVERY time before shutting the freezer which I find extremely irritating. He also confirmed that we already needed a new compressor. Really?! If I could exchange this for a different brand I would but sadly that’s not how it works according to the dealer we purchased it from. We are now stuck with a $3500 piece of junk. I’m just waiting for something else to go wrong. Will NEVER purchase a GE appliance again. Two thumbs down!

Rated 5 out of 5 by vickisea from Every feature you could want! Had other brands prior to this fridge but this beats them all.The ice maker is great.Tons of storage. Had side by side freezer before but the bottom freezer is so much better and holds larger packages like pizza
