    • Dual Evaporation: false (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: I have had this fridge for about 6 months and I am getting a dE error code. What does this mean? Can it be fixed

A: Hi Luke! We are so sorry to hear about the error code you are experiencing with this refrigerator. Fault codes are programmed in many electronic refrigerator dispenser controls. These error, fault and function codes help GE Appliance service technicians quickly diagnose issues with the refrigerator. A flashing green error, fault or function code will be displayed on the control panel when a failure has been detected. This will be accompanied by a beep. The code "dE" means that the defrost system has not operated properly in the last 24 hours. Before calling service, sometimes disconnecting power to the refrigerator for 30 seconds will clear the fault, error or function code; however there are some cases when further service may be required. For service, please call 1-800-432-2737 or schedule online at http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm . -Trey@GEA
