Hello Lynda. This is RICHARDatGEA. The GFE24JSKSS is a frost-free refrigerator and it features the Frost Guard technology. The Frost Guard technology defrost means that the refrigerator will only defrost as needed. It accounts for door openings and usage to determine when it is necessary to defrost and how long the defrost cycle needs to run. If the refrigerator is not being frequently used (ex. family on vacation), it will not defrost as often. It also utilizes a "Pre-Chill" function to lower the freezer temperature prior to the defrost cycle. This lowering of freezer temperature allows the freezer to return to its set temperature point more quickly once the defrost cycle is complete. All this amounts to less thawing of foods and refreezing during the defrost cycle. The result is that it reduces freezer burn. Thanks for your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Frost Guard is a adaptive defrost process where the refrigerator will only defrost as needed. Frost Free is where the refrigerator defrosts on a regular cycle, needed or not.
