- Answer Hello Valued Customer - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. This refrigerator has an ice maker and it will have to be connected to a cold water line in order for it to work properly. A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings, and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer. This refrigerator offers glass shelves in the fresh food section. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

QuestionI'm looking to replace my GE refrigerator with basically the same one I already have. It has lasted me 10 yrs and I think it's time for a new one. It already has a line for the ice maker. Can they use that on the new refrigerator?
Asked 8 years ago by LindaJBP.
- Answer Hello LindaJBP - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. This would be a great replacement refrigerator, especially if it is similar to the one you currently have. If you already have the water supply (copper tubing, shutoff valve, and fittings), then you should not need the water supply kit. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

QuestionCan this refrigerator be kept in a non-temperature regulated (no heat or cooling) insulated garage?
Asked 9 years ago by jofamily.
- Answer Hi jofamily- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for considering our GE Top- Freezer Refrigerator! We do not recommend installing a refrigerator where temperatures will go below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, the unit is less efficient and will continue to lose efficiency as the outdoor temperature decreases. At 32 degrees, there is no cooling capability at all. Also, we do not recommend installing a refrigerator where the temperature will exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a possibility that some harm could come to the compressor or sealed system by operating the refrigerator at temperature extremes. Thanks for checking with us!
