Q: QuestionDifferent models?Re: What is the difference between these two models: GTE18LGHWW and GTE18GTHWW Hi Sue, thanks for the answer, but both models are sold through Lowe's and they are priced differently, so I guess must be at least something different between the two. Any idea?

Q: Question1. Ice Maker, I don't know how or if its working or not? how do I determine that? 2. two drawers in the bottom for veggies and fruits, how do I judge their climate 0-5? Thank you

Asked 9 years ago by Galeas.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 17.5 Cu. Ft. Frost-Free Top-Freezer Refrigerator

• A:Answer Hello Galeas, I am happy to help. Your icemaker will make approximately 3.5 lbs or 100 cubes per day. For the vegetable and fruit drawers, slide the control all the way to the HIGH setting to provide high humidity recommended for most vegetables. Slide the control all the way to the LOW setting to provide lower humidity levels for most fruits. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking with us. Lisa from GE Appliances.
