Q: I HAVE A GE REFRIGERATOR MODEL GFE28GELEDS RECENTLY THE LED LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND NOW THEY STILL OPERATE WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN BUT NOT AT FULL ILLUMINATION SO THE INSIDE LOOKS DARK. ANY SUGESTIONS HOW TO FIX. LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES BUT NO LUCK.

A: If this fridge has showcase lighting, look really carefully at each light. One will probably be more dim than the rest and slightly flickering. Order a replacement for about $26. Pop out the old one, unsnap it from harness, and put in new one - easy fix! It’s seems that is is kind of like the annoying Christmas lights that turn off when one bulb is bad. Everything we read online said it was control board….nope! Cheap and do-it-yourself. if you have a white surround in your fridge, order the cheaper silver color and switch out the new part for the old. It should be the same part number and will work.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Very spacious, well lit Black Slate fridge.

    This was the exact fridge I wanted. Other vendors did not have it in stock because of the color. I did not want stainless steel. This fridge has the dual ice maker capability. Everything is very well lit and the two produce drawers are higher up, which my husband loves. It makes it easier to see what is in them. The only thing I do not like about it is on the left side door, the racks are very narrow. Still figuring out things to fit in there. So far the skinny small sesame oil bottles fit, some spice jars. But the right door makes up for it, holding large items, including juice and milk. The color of the front looks like a dark black led and the sides are a darker more matte black. Also on the front ice/water panel, the words " water/ crushed /cubed" dont light up even if you press light. But we have just memorized the settings (for nighttime use)

    The refrigerator has plenty of space inside. The ice maker capacity is small.
