    • Defrost Type: Manual (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. 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.)

Q: Is the drawer in the freezer removable??

A: Hi PamB- This is Sue at GE Appliances. We are excited to hear of your interest in our Artistry Series! Yes, the lower full-width basket is removable. Open the basket out to its full extension. Lift up the front of the basket and pull straight out to remove. Thanks for checking with us!

Q: I live in Louisiana. Is there any way to get the artistry line in my state? I've tried several different sites, but they always come up with no delivery or store pick up options.

A: The GE Artistry Series has been discontinued. We bought the whole series from Home Depot and Best Buy 3 months ago so some dealers might be out of them. I would suggest picking it up if the trip isn't to far. We live on the coast of California. Good luck to you!

Q: How do you get to the screws to tighten the handle? Does the cover pull or slide off?

A: Hello Kat - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. Please see page 19 of the Installation Instructions for information on attaching the handles: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60758.pdf If this does not help, we recommend contacting GE Factory Service at 1-800-432-2737 for assistance. We hope this helps! Thanks for choosing GE Appliances!

Q: Can I purchase additional half width shelves from GE to work within the artistry series fridge? I'd like more options than just the two entire width shelves. Thank you.

A: Hello Chris - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we're happy to help you. Another full-width shelf could work in your refrigerator, but if your look at the shelf glides, you will notice that two shelves would have to be very close to each other so you would not be able to put tall items on one of the shelves. A half shelf would not work because it would not have anything to hold itself up in the middle. You can order the shelf though our Parts Center by calling 1-877-959-8688, Mon–Fri 8am–7pm, Sat 8:30am–5pm ET. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

Q: Can you switch the handles to the right side?

A: I had the same problem. I ordered my fridge with the hinges on the left to open from the right. But when it was delivered it was backwards. I switched the hinges, but the handles are now upside down with the hex nut hole showing on the top. I contacted the parts department to request new right side handles, but they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Q: On the GE website this is shown in several other colors besides black and white is it available in red or any other off beat colors?

A: Hello! This is Lida with GE Appliances. We do not have the Artistry series in any other fun or off beat colors. I think the black and white still looks sharp, though!

Q: I have just ordered an artistry fridge with lower freezer as listed above. Can you tell me what the cost of adding an ice maker is? And is this something I can do myself or is a service call required for adding the ice maker?

A: Hello Hquinones - this is Lisa at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. Yes, this refrigerator is IM4D icemaker ready. It is an optional accessory. See below: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ge-icemaker-kit-white/1407078.p?skuId=1407078 You may need to check with your dealer to see if they offer installation of the icemaker or you can locate a plumber. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
