Q: Questiongot fridge yesterday. With no food, was just as quiet as old GE fridge; added food (kept cold or frozen in coolers), became a *lot* louder: 45-50db. Too loud! How make it quieter? Please help! Don't want to return it!
Asked by Su3e.
This question was asked about the related product: GE - 27.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
- A:Answer This is our 2nd GE refrigerator/freezer in 3 months. First one was loud, new one is fine. Watch out for ice build up around the refrigerator icemaker door. We've already had that replaced. The entire freezer door seal came off on the first unit. Really have to wonder about GE quality. Won't purchase another one.

Q: QuestionIs this Refrigerator fingerprint resistant ?
Asked by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: GE - 27.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
- A:Answer Not really. FYI we experienced frost and ice crystals in the freezer on the plastic window and around the fridge ice maker door just outside of the seal. It is very difficilt to open the door as it is kind of frozen shut. The freezer seal then fell off but after putting back on has stayed in place. Unit is much noisier than our last refrigerator of a different brand. We are receiving a replacement from Best Buy, great service and much help. Next choice will be different model/brand

Q: QuestionI just installed my GE fridge yesterday. It is freezing most of the items all over the refrigerator. I have turned up the temperature to the max 42 degrees but it's still freezing. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Asked by Al.
This question was asked about the related product: GE - 27.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
- A:Answer Hi Al- Thanks for choosing GE. We are sorry to hear your foods are freezing and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We suggest to set the temperatures at factory settings- 37F for the refrigerator and 0F for the freezer. Allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize. Food load is an important factor. The drawers and compartment should ideally be 1/2 full or more. Freezing occurs when the refrigerator does not having enough food to absorb the cold air. If foods in the crisper, deli, and/or snack drawers are freezing, make sure the bins are at least 1/2 full. If the drawer has adjustable temperature and items are freezing, adjust the drawer to a lower setting. If the refrigerator temperature sensor is blocked, it may not be able to correctly sense temperature to control cooling. The temperature sensor is located at the top of the refrigerator, on the ceiling above the top shelf. The sensor looks like a dome with slats. Move items so there is 6 inches of clearance around the sensor. If this does not help, service may be required. If you would like to schedule a service appointment, please contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm?ICID=GEARsupportflyout-service - We hope this is helpful.
