Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Very noisy!!

Rachel225 6/15/2022

We recently had to buy a replacement for our refrigerator in an emergency. We bought this one because it was in stock. Read the reviews and several people said how noisy it was. Thinking some people complain about anything I went ahead and purchased this one because quite a few people liked it. Needless to say while running it has a loud annoying rattling sound to which they tell us they can do nothing. We were told the newer models sound like this. I quess we are stuck with the annoying rattle until it dies.

I love this fridge!

Hmswarrantysucks 5/8/2022

I was thrilled that I was able to get a french door refrigerator; I hadn't considered it because I thought my kitchen was too small. GE makes this model that fits in smaller spaces. The fridge is so deep and has so much interior space. Thrilled!

Scoop76 4/18/2022

I was purchasing appliances for a kitchen remodel, and wanted to buy GE products. My refrigerator fits partially into a recess, so size was a critical factor. This model fits perfectly, and looks great! The shelves adjust to make organizing the interior easier, and I can fit everything I need inside. The freezer compartment is roomy, the icemaker produces prodigious amounts of ice, and there is even a light. All in all, I'm really happy with my purchase!

Nice size for my space. Adequate. Great color.

C1ge 4/14/2022

There is one negative. If both doors are open, the right door must be closed first, then the left...otherwise the left door will not close.

Poor shelf placement/unstable freezer pull out

hpkwbk 3/12/2022

We needed a small refrigerator to fit our space and had our last GE for 12 years before it broke. So far we are disappointed that you can't place the three shelves do that a Britta/juice carton/milk carton can fit on the lowest level. There is now a wasted shelf that is 2 inches high. Also when you pull out the freezer door you have to be careful or it will come off the runners. It is very wobbly.

Nice refrigerator

LAC37 3/11/2022

I love it but after only having it for 3 weeks it had to be serviced . The ice maker was not working properly. Disappointed because I had to wait 13 months to get it only to not work properly. Would like to be compensated for waiting all this time

Love this Refrigerator!

Sls122 2/12/2022

The main reason we bought this refrigerator was the size. We live in a Continuing Care Retirement Community and the refrigerator that came with our unit was very small and was not able to keep up with our need for ice. Also we have very limited space. This refrigerator fits perfectly in the space we have, is larger than our old one and makes a ton of ice.

Excellent for the Size

Adrienne8 2/5/2022

Love this!!! We had trouble finding a 30" refrigerator for our small space. It is perfect and has tons of space inside. I honestly wouldn't even know it's "smaller" than most.

No setup instructions

JTYOOPER 1/27/2022

This appears to be a very nice refrigerator but there were no setup instructions included with the purchase. I managed to figure it out but took approximately 1.5 hours. Was very securely packed with an overkill of tape which was main reason for length of setup.
