Q: QuestionIs the internal water chilled or tap temperature?
Asked by Clion.
- A:Answer Hi Clion - 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. 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. Thanks for your interest! Sue

Q: QuestionWhat size door opening is needed to fit the frig through?
Asked by Kids990103.
This question was asked about the related product: GE - 27.0 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser - Slate
- A:Answer Hey there, and thanks for reaching out to us about this French Door refrigerator! We certainly understand how important the size of the unit is so you can get it in your home, and can advise the refrigerator has dimensions of 69 7/8 H x 35 3/4 W x 35 7/8 D. The height of the unit is just under 70" and the width is a little under 36". The door opening would need to accommodate those dimensions to get the refrigerator through and be at least 36” wide; if your door is less than that, the doors can be removed to move the unit inside. Further details are available in the installation instructions, on our GE website. The carton that the refrigerator comes in will have these approximate dimensions: Length – 36.5”, Width – 39.2” and Height – 71.3”; if you will still have it packaged when it goes through the door you may need to take those measurements into account as well. We hope this information helps, but are available if you need any further information, including over social media if you prefer. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA

Q: QuestionJust bought a whirlpool and it is noisy. Going to return and hopefully buy this one. One review said this one was noisy too. Is it noisy, can you hear it running? Thanks
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I just bought one without a water dispenser. I have no intensions of connecting the water for anything. After being connected and on for a little bit, the refrigerator would suddenly make a loud hammering noise and then go silent again periodically over and over. We had a technician come out and informed us that because we did not connect the water supply and did not turn off the icemaker on the inside, the unit kept trying to draw water but there was none so the valve that controls that would vibrate and rattle loudly. He turned off the icemaker and - - - silence is golden. End of problem.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with the hook up hose for the water line or do I have to purchase that separately ?
Asked by Growingoldgracefully.
- A:Answer You will need the $30 hookup section to go between the end of the water supply line and the refrigerator. Plus, if this is your first fridge dispensing water or ice, you will also need to bring a water supply line to the location of the fridge, which is a plumbing job for which Best Buy is charging around $140 as of right now.
