A: This refrigerator is not counter depth. I wish I would have purchased one that was, however it is very quiet. We do not hear it at all.
Q: Is the finger resistant stainless much darker? Worried it won’t match with other appliances
A: It is,a little but this is my only metal appliance right now. If it isn't next to another I don't think you would notice. But it's not super fingerprint resistance. But it does wipe off easy.
Q: Do the doors open 180 degrees? They appear to open slightly over 90 degrees in the pictures.
A: The doors do open 180 degrees to allow you to take the shelves out.
Q: Where is the control to turn the ice maker on and off?
A: Hello LadyTee - Thank you for your question; we are glad to assist. There is a power switch on the icemaker to turn it on and off.

Q: does this model have humidity controls on the vegetable bins?
A: Hi mag - This model has 3 lower drawers. The middle drawer features Adjustable Humidity. Thanks for viewing GE! Sue
Q: Can I get water without using the filter that's inside? I have an external filter.
A: Hi there, If you have a Whole Home Water Filtration System you should not need to use another filter inside of your refrigerator. However, if you are not using a filter within your refrigerator, you would need to use a bypass plug in its place. Otherwise, you will be unable to use your dispenser. A bypass plug should be included with your unit upon delivery. We hope that this helped! Thank you so much for your question. -Michael
Q: what size are the ice cubes
A: Hi Kathy - Thanks for your interest! The icemaker produces crescent shaped cubes approximately 2 1/2" long x 3/4" high x 3/4" thick. Keep in touch! Sue
Q: Are the fridge shelves adjustable?
A: Yes. 2” increments

Purchased this fridge to replace similar GE unit purchased over 20 years ago. With a fridge lasting that long with minimum service, why wouldn't we? I have to say GE has begun to cut corners on quality of materials and construction. First unit had to be sent back as the frame seemed to be misaligned and freezer door wouldn't close/seal properly. 2nd unit was much better in that regard. Want to complain is that the freezer is a bit noisy at times. Not sure if it's due to a vibration, fan or loud compressor. I do anticipate a service call soon while the unit is under warranty. Overall the unit works and is good for the money. We chose this model for its large ice capacity and the ice maker works pretty good. The paddle to dispense the ice and water is plastic and is even more flimsy then our original unit's, which eventually cracked over time. I feel this one may as well if anyone gets too heavy-handed using it.

I researched almost every refrigerator on the market and decided this GE Side-By-Side Refrigerator would be the right choice. We’ve had it a few weeks now and are very happy. It looks great and has plenty of room in both the refrigerator and the freezer. It does take about a day or so to get the ice maker to fill up. But it works great and keeps the container full. It is fairly quiet but you will hear the ice cubes dropping into the bin. It looks great in our newly refurbished kitchen. I was also very happy with the delivery process. Everything went very smoothly.

Great refrigerator and freezer! Quiet and roomy! We had a Samsung and it was nothing but problems for three years. This refrigerator is just as roomy, with shelves on both doors, and it’s very quiet. I like the fact that you have to push each button for water and what type of ice you want. With the Samsung, you had to go through a series and choose the one you needed, but if you skipped it, you had to go through the series all over again. It extends past the countertop, abot 8 -10 inches, but fits perfectly in the area we needed without a problem. The water filter has a countdown button on the door panel to let you know its life expectancy. That’s a great feature! It was quick to cool down upon delivery and moving it in and out was very smooth. This is a great refrigerator! I highly recommend it.
