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.
A: Hi Quinten - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your new refrigerator. When a refrigerator or freezer is first installed, allow 24 hours for it to stabilize to normal operating temperatures. Some cooling should be obvious in the freezer within approximately one hour. The recommended initial temperatures are 37 degrees F in the fresh food compartment, and 0 degrees F in the freezer. If in Demo Mode, try deactivating. Press and hold REFRIGERATOR + FREEZER + CRUSHED ICE buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds. You can also reset the electronics by unplugging or turning off power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes. If there is no sign of cooling within the first 24 hours, we recommend service. Please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) - We apologize for any inconvenience. Keep in touch! Sue

A: The temperature decreases by one degree and a tone sounds with each press of the button. Once the lowest temperature is reached (34 degrees for the refrigerator and -6 degrees for the freezer), upon the next button press the temperature will jump to the highest setting (42 degrees for the refrigerator and 6 degrees for the freezer). Additional button presses will continue to lower the temperature by one degree until the desired temperature is reached.

- 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)

Great Refrigerator
This refrigerator is everything I hoped it would be! The lighting is excellent, and the set up inside makes it easy to find and retrieve items. My only concern is that the water dispenser drips after getting water and is a bit noisy.
