A:AnswerHonestly I thought the same thing and felt the same way but it’s so much cleaner without the drip tray .. I’ve had drip trays in other refrigerators and it leaves an ugly film on that drip tray no matter if you clean it off immediately and with this as soon as you wipe it down it’s gone and it doesn’t accumulate any of that water stain or leave any residue
A:AnswerHi EMM28- Select French-Door refrigerators offer Space Saving Ice. The icemaker is located in the fresh food section, on the left fresh food door. The Space Saving icemaker will make approximately 3.6 lbs per day and the ice bucket stores 3.8 lbs of ice that can be dispensed through the ice and water dispenser on the door, or by removing the ice bucket from the door. Always have extra ice on hand with an optional second icemaker in the freezer (IM5D kit sold separately). Makes approximately 2.6 lbs per day in the Freezer.

A:AnswerHi Joe3- No, the water filter is not required. Simply install the filter bypass plug if you choose not to use the built-in water filter option. The bypass plug is installed in the same way
as a filter cartridge. See page 17 of the Owner's Manual: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60764.pdf - Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! SUEatGEA
A:AnswerUnfortunately, no, the GFD28GYNFS does not display the amount of water at all. I miss that feature which I had in my last GE (whose compressor went bad after 5 years with no replacement compressor available).
A:AnswerHello there - Great questions! As of January 1994, all GE Appliances branded refrigerators moved from a rotary compressor to a reciprocating compressor. Additionally, none of our refrigerators use linear (inverter) compressors. A reciprocating compressor, also known as a Scotch Yoke compressor, is designed to give years of reliable service. This type of compressor consists of a reciprocating piston operating in a stationary cylinder. This model refrigerator is not Energy Star qualified. Thanks so much for considering GE Appliances! -Mikayla@GEA

A:AnswerHi Funface - Thanks for your interest! While a few drops would not be unusual, to stop dispensing, release pressure from cradle, withdrawing slowly to catch last bits of water. This is caused by pressure on the water line and changes in temperature causing some condensation to form and drip. It does have a drip tray. To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, its best to put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

If difficult to open, the drawer in the display model may need to be removed and reinstalled properly. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com - We are always eager to offer assistance! Sue
A:AnswerI also have all stainless appliances. They are GE profile and I wanted my replacement fridge to match. Although this isn't the Profile fridge, the stainless color matches perfectly.
A:AnswerHi - The full-width ClimateZone drawer does not offer temperature adjustment. You can easily store wider items like a party platter or a sheet cake. It will maintain the same temperature as the refrigerator. We also offer GE Profile™ Series 27.8 Cu. Ft. French-Door Refrigerator with Door In Door and Hands-Free AutoFill PFD28KBLTS. This model has a full-width, electronic temperature-controlled drawer with colored LED Lights. 3 accurate settings- "Meat" (32F), "Beverage" (34F), or "Deli" (38F) deliver the optimal temperature for your favorite foods, while colored lights indicate the chosen setting.
