Q: Is this model available without the ice maker?

A: It is however it is a different model number. You also can turn off the ice maker and take out the drawer if you want.

Q: Will I be able to access deli drawer completely without door at 90 degree's? Also will I be able to move shelves around with out door open 90 degree's. I have window on one side of fridge

A: To pull bottom deli drawer out 1/2 to 3/4 way, the fridge only needs 1 inch of space on it's side to the wall. If the drawer is to be pulled out all the way, you need at least 11 inches of space. Same with veggie/fruit drawers. Shelves can be moved around as long as one door is able to be fully opened. Hope this helps.

Q: Is the fridge on 4 plastic rollers or 4 adjustable feet? I bought a Samsung and all wheels are cheep plastic and it sits at a 2 1/2 inch backward slant that can not be adjusted. Can this fridge be adjust to have just the slight slant needed?

A: Hi Rollarskatefridge- The refrigerator is equipped with rear rollers and 2 front adjustable leveling legs. The refrigerator should also be firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raised just enough that the doors close easily when opened less than 90 degrees. Thanks for considering GE! SUE@GEA

Q: on this model can the water filter be removed? where i will be using this at there is no water access so the filter just takes up fridge space.

A: Hi Cindy- Yes, if the refrigerator will not be connected to a water line, the filter can be removed. Thanks for choosing GE! SUE@GEA

Q: Re: Slate or Stainless Steel - Wondering if Slate would show fingerprints less than the Stainless Steel.

A: Hello KC - Thank you for your interest in the GE® ENERGY STAR® 18.6 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth French-Door Refrigerator GWE19JMLES; we are happy to help! This model has a Slate finish. Slate is a highly engineered, low-gloss matte metallic paint finish and will hold a magnet. It resists fingerprints and doesn't show dirt. To clean, wipe with a soft clean cloth using a mild household detergent then dry with a clean soft cloth. We are glad you checked! Olga

Q: I’m researching this model and I see on multiple websites it has an internal water dispenser. I cannot see in any pictures or find any answers about where the dispenser is. I’m looking all over and I don’t see where the button and dispenser is at?

A: Hi Richard101- Yes, GE® ENERGY STAR® 18.6 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth French-Door Refrigerator GWE19JSLSS is equipped with an internal water dispenser. The water dispenser is located at the front on the left wall inside the refrigerator compartment.

Q: Do the top French doors have to be closed in a particular order or can you close either one first? I have young children and can see this being an issue.

A: Hi Sway913 - Thanks for choosing GE! No, French-door refrigerator doors do not have to close in a particular order. You can close either door first. Enjoy! SUEatGEA

    Few design issues but overall great fridge.

    Love my new fridge. It’s the perfect size for my space. I like the door alarm. I don’t like the wasted freezer space with all the plastic but I have two deep freezers so I’m not in need of space. If this were my only freezer I would be upset. Also I don’t like how the water button is above the spout you need two hands to fill your water. Could be easier if they put the button below the spout so the cup could just be pushed against it.

    Thanks to GE

    We were happy to be able to replace our dead refrigerator with this GE counter depth model on a timely basis with minimal remodeling. It has some nice features that include glass moveable shelves and a number of drawers as well as LED lighting. It was also nice to match the slate color to the stove and above the range microwave that had been replaced in the last coupleof years - only GE offers this option. Only time will tell about quality and value, but so far so good.
