- Features
- Freezer Type: Chest (Chest freezers have a lid that lifts from above and open storage space within, helpful for storing bulk items. Upright freezers open from the front and provide vertical storage, which helps keep items accessible. Column freezers are similar to upright but are typically built-in to complement existing spaces.)
- Convertible To Refrigerator: false
- Defrost Type: Manual (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. 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.)
- Defrost Indicator: false (Signal that alerts you when it is time to defrost the freezer.)
- Temperature Control Type: Adjustable
- Control Location: Exterior
- Garage Ready: true (Garage Ready appliances have been tested by the manufacturer to operate within a wider range of external temperatures than the average home environment, such as a garage which can fall below freezing or heat above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed external operating temperature requirements.)
- Quick Freeze: false (Feature that allows you to quickly reduce the temperature when needed, perfect for chilling drinks or freezing large quantities of fresh food. Fast freezing may help maintain food quality.)
- Soft Freeze Zone: false (Designated compartment kept at a temperature colder than the refrigerator but slightly warmer than the freezer. Keep ice cream frozen but ready and easy to serve in this storage zone.)
- Sabbath Mode: false (This mode complies with the rules of Halakha and allows Shabbat-observant people to use the appliance on the Shabbat and other Jewish holidays.)
- Child Lock: false (Setting that allows appliance to be temporarily locked to prevent use.)

- Performance
- Temperature Alarm: false (Alarm that signals when the internal temperature rises or falls out of the set ideal range.)
- Temperature Range (Freezer): true (Indicates the possible range of the freezer’s internal temperature, from lowest to highest.)
- Minimum Operating Temperature: 0 degrees fahrenheit (The lowest recommended ambient (surrounding) temperature in which the product can ideally operate stated by the manufacturer. Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures less than the minimum can result in ineffective operation.)
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 110 degrees fahrenheit (The highest recommended ambient (surrounding) temperature in which the product can ideally operate stated by the manufacturer. Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures more than the maximum can result in ineffective operation.)

Q: Can this be stored in the garage?
A: Hi Derek- To obtain efficient operation, we recommend to place the freezer in a dry, well ventilated room where the surrounding external temperatures will not exceed 110 degrees F. or fall below 0 degrees F. SUEatGEA
A: Hi Philip- The interior dimensions are approximately 31.5"(W) x 15"(D) x 27.5"(H). Compressor area (hump): 7.5"(W) x 15"(D) x 9.5"(H). 7.0 Cu. Ft. is the usable space. There are many factors that contribute to the volume of food that your freezer will hold including the physical size and shape of each item. In general, a freezer will hold 30 to 35 pounds per cubic foot. The maximum amount of food that your freezer can freeze at one time is 3 pounds per cubic foot. After allowing 24 hours for that to freeze, you can then add another 3 pounds per cubic foot. We hope this is helpful! SUEatGEA
A: Hi Cher, Thank you for your interest in GE Appliances. We apologize for any confusion. FCM7SKWW does not feature an interior light. Models FCM11PHWW, FCM16DJWW and FCM22DJWW feature interior lighting. We hope this helps.
Q: Is it possible to buy extra baskets to better organize my frozen goods
A: The Container Store sells hanging baskets for chest freezers. You will want to double-check the dimensions you need first, but chest freezers tend to come in pretty standard widths.
A: We just used a regular outlet. Did not need a dedicated line
Q: Is this a frost free freezer or do I need to defrost it manually?
A: It is not frost free. I couldn't find a frost free chest freezer. GE manual, Page 5: "In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about twice a year.To have your freezer operate most efficiently, do not permit more than 1/2" (13 mm) of frost to accumulate on the shelves." http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60702-3.pdf
Q: Is this energy efficient? Around how much does it cost to run a month?
A: Hi Mel- Estimated Yearly Energy Cost is $30 (based on 12 cents per kWh). We suggest to view the Energy Guide at the following link for details on energy usage: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=GE_FCM7CK_FCM7SK_FCM7DK.pdf - Thanks for choosing GE!

A: Hi- This model does not have the lock feature. Thanks for checking with Us; Kaye@GE
