Q: QuestionWhat is the temp of the water being dispensed? How much cold water is kept cold?

Asked 6 years ago by Crykey.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 17.5 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator

• A:Answer Hi Crykey - Bottom freezer and french door refrigerators have a water reservoir coil in the fresh food section that holds 12 - 24 oz. of water. The water is chilled and stored until it is needed. Since the reservoir is in the fresh food section, the water will not be ice-cold. The first time the dispenser is used, the chilled water lever may need to be pressed for two to three minutes to fill the reservoir for the first time. It takes approximately seven seconds to fill an eight ounce glass with water. After the 12 - 24 oz. of cold water is dispensed, any additional water dispensed will not be chilled until the water in the coil tubing has had time to chill again. Therefore, the temperature will vary. Keep in touch! -Emelea

Q: QuestionI see this fridge has a readout for the settings of the fridge and freezer. The readout shows you what they are set to. Is there a way to see what the actual temperature is in the fridge or freezer in case it is not the same as it is set to?

• A:Answer Hi Garry - The display shows Set temperature only. It is not designed to display actual temperature.
