Our 9 year old garage refrigerator stopped working suddenly. It was unfortunately right after a trip to stock up at Sam's and right before my daughter's birthday party. I was livid. They just don't make them like they used to. I did quite a bit of research on this GE model of refrigerator, ordered it from my phone on my Best Buy app, and it was delivered three days later. We live in a rural area and the local appliance shop promised they could deliver one of their units if I bought it from them six weeks from next Thursday. Seriously. It was like 2 1/2 weeks out and we need a second fridge for our family of five. Best Buy for the win! The delivery drivers were awesome. They removed my old non-working unit and got us up and running. As far as the fridge goes, it's very spacious. The glass shelves are awesome. The layout is well thought out. I used the default settings and it cools directly at 37 degrees like I wanted. The freezer is spacious as well. I've had for about a month now. No issues or problems. The unit is quiet when it is running. I do remember a lot of people said it can be a bit noisy but we have not experienced this, and I'm very very sensitive to certain noises. Our old fridge was purchased and originally put in a lower level walkout. It was not specifically designed for a garage. This unit is. I'm hopeful it will last longer in the highly varying temperatures a garage in the Midwest brings. I would highly recommend!

The Refrigerator door was damage. A hole was in the right-hand side. I Believe it was put there to move the handles, but I did not request handles moved. Due to COVID19 did.not want anyone else in the house. The only reason I did not request a new refrigerator.

So far, so good. I have had my GE Refrigerator for about a month now, and it is working great. I love the layout - very user friendly. It is wonderful having the extra space after grocery shopping!
I placed a thermometer inside both the freezer and refrigerator portions. Both are maintaining a constant temperature, even with some very hot days.

Nice big freezer. Good layout inside the fridge. I read lots of reviews and reports on other models in this price range & compared them before buying this refrigerator.
I am curious why I hear it running more than other refrigerators? I have had it for seveeal months without issue. Keeps food in all compartments at good temp. The delivery crew could have been better. I had to insist they level the feet. They tried to tell me it was my floor. I had to point out to them there are adjustable feet and they were not yet set to match each other. I also had to collect and dispose of the packing materials which shoukd be their job.

This refrigerator is great value, stylish and practical . Its timeless look is appreciated as is the outer special resistance to finger prints.
The inside space is very spacious & cleverly designed with multiple glass shelves and plastic drawers to segregate food items according to temp to maintain freshness . Everything is neatly organized and accessible. It’s also good to know that these brands are energy efficient too !

When we went to slide the fridge in place it ruined the floor. Looked underneath ands there are screws that stuck out past the bottom of the fridge.

Purchased this refrigerator for enclosed patio for food and drink overflow. Really like the fridge - cold and quiet and the sale price from BB was generous.
I only gave 4 stars for 2 reasons:
There is no light in the freezer compartment so I have to take a flashlight with me to go through the frozen food to find what I’m looking for AND the light inside the fridge isn’t very bright (but a lot better than none at all) which again can make it difficult to find what you’re looking for.
I paid for the BB delivery and take away. The delivery guys had very little to do as I had moved out the old and readied it for them to dolly away and nicely prepared the new area for the new fridge. Well my delivery fee doesn’t include removing the tape everywhere, putting the shelves in or even putting the handles on the door. I was told this would be included in a separate set up fee. Maybe I’m expecting too much but back in the day delivery meant at least pulling the tape off everywhere and most of the time installing the handle. I guess times have changed and subsequently customer service has as well. I also had a small dorm fridge that I offered cash for them to haul off as well. Couldn’t pull that off either.

Great fridge. hold temp. Has plenty of room. No light in freezer. Light in fridge seems ridiculously expensive to change. Other then that great price and value.

Hi there, we're terribly sorry to hear that your refrigerator was delivered broken twice. This is never what we'd expect for our consumers so we can only imagine how aggravating this has been for you. We appreciate your patience and hope that you'll stay in touch with Best Buy regarding your next delivery. We'd still love to have you in our GE Appliances family and we think you'd make a great addition. - Guy@GEA

this GE refrigerator is decent in size and capacity which i like. However, there are two flaws. 1. it does not have a light/lamp in the freezer top area and 2nd it makes noise often and it is loud...difficult to zone out the output.
We appreciate you sending feedback on your refrigerator and recommend that you take a look at page 19 in your use and care manual, which describes normal sounds. If you believe that the sound isn't normal, then have one of our Bodewell technicians out to asses. Service can be set up via the GE Appliances website or by calling 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET.

This firdge is good. Works fine and as its meant to. It did arrive damaged at the bottom though. It was not from delivery this was factory built damage. They just didnt screw the bottom plate to the hole it was to go to. It was just randomly in the bottom siding and was not secure. I almost took it back but I pulled it off straigtened it out and put the screw where it was meant to go and it was fine. The fridge fuctions and cools fine so far. No problems there. The overall build quality does feel cheap. The back covering the compressor and lines is just plastic. Its not metal like on an older GE model I used to have. Read some other reviews complain about the noise and this does not bother me. It sounds like a normal fridge should. It is not loud. I would recommend its just sad all companies want to charge you more for less of a product these days.

We like the fridge - seems very spacious for the Cu.Ft, size. Basic fridge without the bells and whistles. No light in freezer compartment (I knew this but may be an issue for some).
One issue (we took a star off) is that it is louder than some when the cooling is working. If you have an open plan kitchen it could be quite noticeable. We put some sound insulation behind the fridge which took the edge off enough. I measured it at 41 decibels in front of the fridge before insulating, with the insulation took it down to 34 - which made it fine for us.
But for a basic, efficient fridge, we like it a lot.
We're happy that you're enjoying the space that your lovely fridge offers! ! Newer refrigerators sound different from older models because they have more features and use newer technology. We recommend you review the "Normal Operating Sounds" section on pg. 18 of the Owner's Manual. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! -Don@GEAppliances

We are so pleased with our new fridge. It has so much space and runs beautifully. It’s quiet and being able to reverse the door opening worked so well for us!

The doors do not seal well. When you shut the fridge door the freezer door pops open. Because the freezer has no light, you aren’t necessarily alerted to the fact it is ajar. I keep the freezer stocked with homemade soup. I am not pleased when I find it partially defrosted because of this flaw. I bought a latch to stop this, but, this is brand new and should work properly. Will be calling the manufacturer. I tried to save money buying a no frills fridge for the garage. Already regretting that decision.
We would like to address the sealing issue you're experiencing with your refrigerator. Check to see if the Refrigerator door gasket is sealing properly. If not, wash the entire gasket with baking soda and water (1 part baking soda to 3 parts water), especially on the hinge side. Then, lubricate the hinge side of the gasket with paraffin wax (not candle wax). Additionally, we recommend that you make sure that the adjustable legs are level. Additional information and troubleshooting tips can be found in the article titled Refrigerator - Freezer Door Pops Open on the GE Appliances website. If you're still having problems after viewing, service will be needed and can be set up via the GE Appliances website or by calling 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET.

It is very quiet. Since some people complained that it would not get cold, I put a digital thermometer in it. (Not the best choice, but it's what I had in the house) I put it up to level 4 to keep in at 36 degrees. You need to keep in mind that all rerigerators turn on a heater periodcially to defrost so the temperature will fluctuate even with the door closed all the time. Also with all refrigerators the bottom shelf is the coldest, so fish and meat should be put on the buttom shelf.
If you read reviews of thermometers almost all reviews contain some people who say the thermomenter is not calibrated properly. So if you are really worried, buy a thermometer that you can calibrate yourself using a bucket of ice water.
Very few theremometers are designed to allow you to callibrate them. I asked refrigerator reapair people which thermometers they used and there was one brand that was about $10 on Amazon.
By the way Best Buy hires contractors to deliver and install appliances in my area. The first set did not balance it. So the door slammed open into the wall when you held at at 45 degree angle instead of gently closing. I asked Best Buy to send another crew and they fixed it. However since my floor was very uneven and the GE model only has leveling on the front, they needed to stick some wood under it to level it. It did not close gently when it was a 45 degree angle but it was good enough.

This GE Garage-Ready Top-Freezer is compact, yet spacious inside. Both of the interior doors have shelving for large and small bottles or cans. There is a butter or cheese keeper on the top shelf of the refrigerator door plus two more shelves. The interior of the refrigerator has four shelves, including 3 pull out bins for storages of fruits and vegetables. These interior shelves are made of beautiful, clear sturdy glass that have plenty of options for spacing them any way that you wish. You can customize them to hold small or large food and beverage containers. This refrigerator can stand up to extreme heat in the climate where I live. It has kept food and beverages at the perfect temperature in my garage. I am pleased with the performance of this GE 21.9 Cu. FT.

Fridge is nice, Spacious and the trays feel solid. It’s a bit louder than expected.
What I really didn’t like, which was no fault of the fridge, is that BB got the delivery address wrong, and then after I called and spent an hour on the phone fixing it they never updated it. As I was out of the country this was a bit of an issue. They also unpacked it very poorly, and there were dozens of different bits of shrink wrap and plastic still wedged in the hinges and door, under bolts etc

So far this fridge has been flawless. Ample room to store everything and perfect for my garage. Bestbuy delivery was quick, communicative and the delivery guys where amazing. Save the headaches and just buy from bestbuy
Congratulations on your new refrigerator and thank you for choosing GE Appliances for your home! This unit is simple to use and gets the job done. We hope you will enjoy it for many years to come!
