- Dual Evaporation: true (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

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.
Q: Does this model have a removable ice bucket in the door?
A: Hello Linda, This is Joyce from GE Appliances. I will be happy to help! This model has the ice bucket in the left hand door. Pull up and out on the ice bucket to remove it from the compartment. To replace the ice bucket, set it on the guide brackets and push until the ice bucket seats properly. This model does have the capability of adding a second icemaker in the freezer section if desired. The kit number is IM5D. Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a good day!

Q: Is this stainless "smudge resistant?"
A: I would say no. I would call it a true stainless steel surface where you will see smudges and fingerprints. The Method brand stainless steel cleaner that I buy works really well. I use it once a week on all of my stainless appliances.
Q: What is the difference between a frost free refrigerator and an automatic defrost one?
A: Hello Caladium22. Thank you for your question. We are glad to assist. Frost free refrigerators defrost automatically either on a time-based system or usage-based system. There is no difference between frost free and automatic defrost models. I hope this helps. Olga
