Questions & Answers (203)

• Q: Can this refrigerator be used in our garage we live outside buffalo,ny it gets cold here some times during the winter we need more space so we were thinking of getting a fridge for garage, our garage isn't insulated, and not attached to house. (2 answers)

  A: Hi Shellybelly - Thanks for considering GE! Model # GTS22KSNRSS is "garage ready" which means it is tested to perform from 38°F to 110°F. It will operate fine in your garage as long as it remains within this temperature range. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

• Q: Can the doors be switched to open the other direction? (4 answers)

  A: According to the product description, under Specs, then Features, it says the door hinges ARE reversible. If it's anything like my old GE fridge from the mid-90s, it's not apparent by just looking at it, so maybe that's why the verified purchaser answered no. However, if the description is actually wrong, I'd like to know and/or I hope someone fixes it, because this feature is important to me. (FWIW, I have always been very happy with my old GE, it's never needed any repairs, and it still keeps my food as fresh as it ever did, but it may finally be on its last leg, as it's been doing a bunch of loud clunking when the compressor turns off. Of course this happens during a pandemic when the supply chain is hurting and hardly anything's in stock and won't be for months!)

• Q: Is the foam supposed to be removed from the air vent at the top of the inside of the refrigerator? It seems like it is blocking the airflow. The freezer is cold after being plugged in for a couple of hours but the refrigerator isn't yet. (1 answers)

  A: Congratulations on your new refrigerator and what an excellent choice! The Styrofoam you see around the controls and vents is not packing material and should not be removed. It is used for insulation and if removed, service will be required to replace it. When starting the refrigerator or changing the temperature, allow for 24 hours until the set point is reached. Thanks and enjoy! - John@GEAppliances

• Q: What is the expected temperature in the refrigerator and freezer at the recommended manufacturer setting of 3? (2 answers)

  A: Hi Melody - Thanks for choosing GE and welcome to the family! Recommended temperatures are 37F in the refrigerator and 0F in the freezer. The numbers on the control do not represent a temperature. The fresh food control regulates how long the compressor runs, and in effect, how cold both compartments can become. This video shows how to adjust the temperature controls on Top Mount refrigerators: https://youtu.be/Fk8X4jsGNfg - Also, the following link may be helpful- REFRIGERATOR - MEASURING INTERNAL TEMPERATURES: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=19479 - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com.

• Q: This spec information says no deli meat drawer it looks like there's a drawer hanging down from the top shelf and it doesn't say there's 2 refrigerator shelf's which it shows photos has so is it 1 shelf in the freezer and 1 shelf in the refrigerator ??? (2 answers)

  A: Hi there, and thanks for reaching out to us. We hate to hear there's some confusion over the internal set up of this refrigerator and would like to help clarify. This model has two shelves in the fresh food compartment, as well as two bins at the bottom (the top covering the bins can also hold items). There is a drawer hanging from the top shelf that is adjustable and can be moved if you prefer; this is referred to as the snack drawer, which may be why you didn't see it listed. The freezer has one shelf, though items can also be placed on the floor of the freezer compartment. We hope this clears up the storage available in the refrigerator, but are happy to help if you have any other questions. Wishing you all the best! -Sarah@GEA

• Q: Is the Slate more gray or more brown? Is the Slate Black more gray than black? There are none of either color in a store near me. Thank you! (2 answers)

  A: Hi mrsed - Thank you for your patience. We truly appreciate you considering this fantastic top-freezer refrigerator for your home and are happy to tell you more about these finishes! The beautiful Slate finish is inspired by the rich texture of stone and is similar to a taupe gray color. It has a warm, matte texture that blends with every material and color and is versatile with every style. It has stainless accents and the sides, case and accent parts are a dark Dorian Gray for easy color coordination. The distinctive Black Slate finish is a deep charcoal color with a small amount of gloss to create a sparkly reflection in the light. It includes black stainless handles that perfectly complement the stainless accents founds on your other appliances. Both appearances offer you a unique matte finish that helps to hide fingerprints and smudges to keep your appliances looking clean. We are sorry to hear of the trouble you have had in seeing these finishes in person and sincerely hope that these descriptions help to clarify! Please feel free to reach out to us via our Contact Us page online if you have any additional questions. -Eliza@GEA
