Q: Why is there no built in drip tray to hold excess water drops from the wafer dispenser
A: Honestly I thought the same thing and felt the same way but it’s so much cleaner without the drip tray .. I’ve had drip trays in other refrigerators and it leaves an ugly film on that drip tray no matter if you clean it off immediately and with this as soon as you wipe it down it’s gone and it doesn’t accumulate any of that water stain or leave any residue
A: Hi EMM28- Select French-Door refrigerators offer Space Saving Ice. The icemaker is located in the fresh food section, on the left fresh food door. The Space Saving icemaker will make approximately 3.6 lbs per day and the ice bucket stores 3.8 lbs of ice that can be dispensed through the ice and water dispenser on the door, or by removing the ice bucket from the door. Always have extra ice on hand with an optional second icemaker in the freezer (IM5D kit sold separately). Makes approximately 2.6 lbs per day in the Freezer.

Learn more at: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/slate-appliances.htm - Thanks for considering GE! SUE@GEA
A: Hi Joe3- No, the water filter is not required. Simply install the filter bypass plug if you choose not to use the built-in water filter option. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge. See page 17 of the Owner's Manual: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60764.pdf - Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! SUEatGEA
Q: Does this model display how much water is being dispensed in ounces?
A: Unfortunately, no, the GFD28GYNFS does not display the amount of water at all. I miss that feature which I had in my last GE (whose compressor went bad after 5 years with no replacement compressor available).
Q: Is this fingerprint resistant
A: Yes this model is....they have the same refrigerator different model that is not! Read the specs to be sure you get the one you want.
A: Hello there - Great questions! As of January 1994, all GE Appliances branded refrigerators moved from a rotary compressor to a reciprocating compressor. Additionally, none of our refrigerators use linear (inverter) compressors. A reciprocating compressor, also known as a Scotch Yoke compressor, is designed to give years of reliable service. This type of compressor consists of a reciprocating piston operating in a stationary cylinder. This model refrigerator is not Energy Star qualified. Thanks so much for considering GE Appliances! -Mikayla@GEA
Q: How much ice does it store?
A: Hi FrankL - Thanks for your interest in GE® French-Door Refrigerator GFD28GYNFS featuring the new fingerprint resistant stainless finish! Space Saving Ice is an icemaker located on the left fresh food door. The bucket stores 3.8 lbs of ice that can be dispensed through dispenser on the door or by removing the ice bucket from the door. Always have extra ice on hand with an optional second icemaker in the freezer. IM5D kit sold separately. Holds 2.6 lbs of ice in the bucket.

A: Hi Funface - Thanks for your interest! While a few drops would not be unusual, to stop dispensing, release pressure from cradle, withdrawing slowly to catch last bits of water. This is caused by pressure on the water line and changes in temperature causing some condensation to form and drip. It does have a drip tray. To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, its best to put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening. View NORMAL OPERATION OF REFRIGERATOR DISPENSER: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21884 - Also, the refrigerator doors should be fully opened in order to extend the full width drawer. If difficult to open, the drawer in the display model may need to be removed and reinstalled properly. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com - We are always eager to offer assistance! Sue
