Q: QuestionWhat temperature should the freezer be set for ice cream..?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer While we don’t recommend a specific temperature, fine quality ice cream with high cream content will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more "airy" packaged brands with low cream content. The coldest location is typically at the rear of the freezer. If your ice cream is too soft, you may need to experiment to determine the best location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right serving temperature. Lauren@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionWhy does the left door with the pitcher close on its own?
Asked by Karen.
- A:Answer We recommend checking to be sure your refrigerator is level. The front legs can be adjusted so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front should be raised just enough so that the doors close easily when they are open less than 90°. At 90° or more, the door will remain still or swing open. If you continue to have concerns, we're confident our GE Appliances team of experts at Bodewell can remedy the issue you're having. Please call 1-833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET to have your refrigerator evaluated and repaired as needed. -Vikki@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionFor this model, how do I reset the water filter indicator after replacing the water filter?
Asked by ProudFridgeOwner.
- A:Answer The filter indicator light will reset automatically when the correct filter has been properly installed. Check to be sure you purchased the XWFE filter. Try removing the new filter and reinstalling it. If the light doesn't reset, install the AutoFill pitcher and turn it on to see if the pitcher will fill. If the issue persists, check to see if you can exchange the filter and try it again. If this does not remedy the issue you're having, we recommend contacting our GE Appliances team of experts Bodewell at 1-833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET to have the water filtration system on your lovely refrigerator evaluated and repaired as needed. -Vikki@GEAppliances
