QuestionHow do I turn the temperature on the freezer down. I hit the freezer panel and it shows the temperature and when I hit it again it only goes higher I want it lower than 5 degrees. How do I go lower on the panel?
Asked 7 months ago by Freeezercontrolpanel.
- Answer The temperature decreases by one degree and a tone sounds with each press of the button. Once the lowest temperature is reached (34 degrees for the refrigerator and -6 degrees for the freezer), upon the next button press the temperature will jump to the highest setting (42 degrees for the refrigerator and 6 degrees for the freezer). Additional button presses will continue to lower the temperature by one degree until the desired temperature is reached. To learn more, see the “Changing the Temperature for Control Styles B and C” on page 10 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

QuestionI have a problem with the handle of the bottom drawer, the freezer The handle is loose, how do I tighten it?
Asked 4 years ago by Win412.
- Answer Hello there - We hate to hear that your refrigerator's handle is loose and we're happy to help. Tighten the set screws at each end of the handles. Most handles require a 3/32" or 1/8" Allen wrench to tighten. Additional information can be found on page 32 in the owner's manual. We hope that this helps. Let us know if any other questions come up. All the best! -Mikayla@GEA

QuestionDoes the full width drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator have an adjustable stop position? We can barely get our hands inside the drawer to put things in and take things out! We need to be able to pull it out more than a half inch ...
Asked 4 years ago by Lisa.
- Answer Hello, thank you for your question. There is not an adjustable stop for this refrigerator's full width door and we apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. If you have just purchased this refrigerator, it was either installed improperly or all the packing tape wasn't removed. If it is not new, we recommend checking to ensure that there's not a food item wedged in such a way that is stopping you from opening the drawer further. Both refrigerator fresh food doors have to be opened to open the full width drawer. If neither of the above situations are the case, then we recommend you schedule service with us by calling 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET or Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET or by visiting the "Schedule Service" link under the "Owner Support" tab on our website. -Chris@GEA

QuestionTo the Manufacturer. When we softly close the doors of our new GE Profile Model GE PFE28KMKES they swing back open. We have to slam the doors and this is a real pain. Can the doors be closed without slamming them?
Asked 5 years ago by LEhartwe.
- Answer Hi LEhartwe - Thanks for reaching to us to! We are sorry to hear of this unfortunate experience with the doors on your GE Profile Model PFE28KMKES and apologize for any frustration this has caused. The refrigerator should be firmly positioned on the floor and front raised just enough that the doors close easily when opened less than 90 degrees. At 90 degrees or more, the door will remain still or swing open. We suggest viewing the following link (video): https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=19144 - Also, here's the link to the Installation Guide for instructions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60792-4.pdf - We're glad to have you in the family and hope this is helpful.

QuestionIs there a way to change the temp. of the fridge?
Asked 5 years ago by Sunshine.
- Answer Hi Sunshine - Thanks for choosing GE! We are happy to help. To change the temperature, press and release the Freezer or Fridge pad. The display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, press either the Freezer or Fridge pad until the desired temperature is displayed. When you keep pressing the Fridge or Freezer pad, the temperature setting will go up until it reaches the maximum limit and then starts over at the lowest limit. The ranges for the Fresh food section on most models is 34 F to 42 F; the range for the Freezer section is -6 F to 5 F. You can view a video at this link: https://youtu.be/d2l6J456OJ4 - Here's the link the Use and Care Manual (Page 10): https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60792-4.pdf - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com.
