Q: Questionmy opening where i will put this is 65 height 30 wide and 31 depth will this unit fit

Asked 3 years ago by david.

• A:Answer Hi there - we're thrilled to assist you with the refrigerator's dimensions! The dimension requirements for the unit (including air clearances) are the following: *Height = 65.75" *Width = 29.5" *Depth = 33.625". This means that the width and the depth (refrigerator will stick out 2.625" from the front) of your opening work, but the height is a bit short. We strongly suggest double checking your measurements to see if the height works within your space. -- We hope you found this information helpful. Have a great week. - Pablo@GEA

Q: QuestionDoes this refrigerator need a water line? I am looking for a basic garage refrigerator to store extra food.

Asked 4 years ago by AliT.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 16.6 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator with LED Interior Lighting - White

• A:Answer Hey there, we appreciate you reaching out about a new refrigerator! This refrigerator does not require a water line. With that said, this unit is not a garage-ready model so we would recommend checking out another garage-ready unit such as GTS19KGNRWW or GTS22KGNRWW. Garage-ready refrigerators have been designed and extensively tested for use in a garage environment, performing in ambient temperatures from 38°F to 110°F. Non-garage-ready models are not recommended for areas that go below 60°F. We hope this is useful information to you and we're wishing you nothing but the best. - Guy@GEA
