QuestionI HAVE A GE REFRIGERATOR MODEL GFE28GELEDS RECENTLY THE LED LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND NOW THEY STILL OPERATE WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN BUT NOT AT FULL ILLUMINATION SO THE INSIDE LOOKS DARK. ANY SUGESTIONS HOW TO FIX. LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES BUT NO LUCK.
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer If this fridge has showcase lighting, look really carefully at each light. One will probably be more dim than the rest and slightly flickering. Order a replacement for about $26. Pop out the old one, unsnap it from harness, and put in new one - easy fix! It’s seems that is is kind of like the annoying Christmas lights that turn off when one bulb is bad. Everything we read online said it was control board….nope! Cheap and do-it-yourself. if you have a white surround in your fridge, order the cheaper silver color and switch out the new part for the old. It should be the same part number and will work.

QuestionI had this product installed around 24 hours ago. we have left it nearly empty as we wait for it to reach temp, but it hasn't coed at all so far. We didn't have the water line installed, but I can't imagine that is keeping it from cooling. Any suggestions
Asked 6 years ago by quinten.
- Answer Hi Quinten - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your new refrigerator. When a refrigerator or freezer is first installed, allow 24 hours for it to stabilize to normal operating temperatures. Some cooling should be obvious in the freezer within approximately one hour. The recommended initial temperatures are 37 degrees F in the fresh food compartment, and 0 degrees F in the freezer. If in Demo Mode, try deactivating. Press and hold REFRIGERATOR + FREEZER + CRUSHED ICE buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds. You can also reset the electronics by unplugging or turning off power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes. If there is no sign of cooling within the first 24 hours, we recommend service. Please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) - We apologize for any inconvenience. Keep in touch! Sue

QuestionWhat color are the handles on the Black Slate model? Are they shiny? My other appliances are high gloss black...looking for opinions if this black slate would look ok with my other appliances. I can't find this model on display nearby.
Asked 6 years ago by Lena.
- Answer Hi Lena - This model is also available in Black (GFE28GGKBB) with high gloss finish and black gloss handles. You may want to consider this model to match your other high gloss black appliances. The Black Slate model (GFE28GELDS) has black brushed stainless handles. Also, Black Slate is a deep charcoal color with a matte finish. Explore Black Slate at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/black-slate-appliances.htm - Keep in touch! Sue

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 model gfe28gskss. If one of the interior led lights go out, does that effect the rest of the lights?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello there, we appreciate you reaching out to us. If one LED light goes out, it shouldn't affect the others unless they were to go out as well. With that said, we don't expect you to have any issues with your refrigerator's lighting. We're wishing you the best and we hope to have you in our GE Appliances family. - Guy@GEA

QuestionJust purchased the the 36" GE Ft. French Door Refrigerator GFE28GELIDS and the ice maker makes a knocking noise when it is making ice and getting ice build up around seal on right side of freezer. Freezer not over filled w/food. Any suggestions?
Asked 4 years ago by Nicole.
- Answer Hello, thank you for your question. We are sincerely sorry your refrigerator is making a knocking noise when making ice and that there is ice building up around the gasket. We truly understand how that would be frustrating and would love to look into this further as this is not the ownership experience we strive for. If you haven't done so already, 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

QuestionDoes he icemaker im5d have on off switch
Asked 7 years ago by John.
- Answer Hi John - Optional IM5D does not have an On/Off switch. You will use the "Icemaker" button on the exterior control panel to turn either icemaker On/Off. The options are Ice Top On/Off / Ice Bottom On/Off.
