Café - 22.2 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator, Customizable - Matte Black

We have only had this refrigerator for a week but we love it. The meat drawer is awesome. Freezer holds a ton of food. The lighting is great. Ice and water dispenser is sleek looking and functions well. In the pictures we had not yet added the recessed waterline, so it is actually more flush with the counters after we made that upgrade.

great fridge but the color is more dark blue than black. doesn't look like the picture. Hot water and precise fill is awesome.

We chose the Cafe' series in Matte White for the remodel which means our 15 y/o Kenmore Elite unit which was still kicking was sent to the garage. This one is counter depth which freed up some space in our kitchen but we don’t seem to notice the loss of space like others. No one has these in store to look at so it was like Christmas waiting for them to show up to match colors etc. There are several reviews that go into detail but let me focus on the few items that we have noticed in the last few months. Noise - I had hoped the reviews were wrong but this thing does make more noise than our old Kenmore. It seems to run about 80% of the time whereas the Kenmore was about 50%. Don’t really have other options so we deal with it but it does make noise and you just need to be aware. Protective Film – All I can say is it’s a royal pain to get the protective film off this thing. I know they want to protect it but the film was pitched with components. The water dispenser recess area was about an hour lot of fun to get the film pushed into the seam (Pic before clean up) Refrigerator Area Freeze Ups – Have had the top refrigerator area freeze liquid items twice. We used the recommended setting of 37 degrees but have since switched it to 40 degrees. I bought a NSF thermometer to put in the cooled area and it seems the refrigerator runs about 5 to 7 degrees lower than it says on the actual readout on the display. If it does it again I am calling GE for a repair. Even with those few issues we still are in love with our new refrigerator but I can say without question they really don’t make things like they used too (That’s all the manufactures)
