Unfortunately this is my second review on the fridge, my first delivered fridge had uneven doors and was told it was supposed to be like that then the delivers guy some how scratched the front door so deep silver was shining through the length of the door, so I get a replacement the unleveled doors are just a manufacturing problem per the Lowe’s delivery guy because the replacement fridge doors are not level as well, okay googled how to fix it and there others out there with the same problem so ...
Disappointed
Like another reviewer stated below for 5,000 bucks you’d think this fridge would be white all the way around lol yes I should have realized this while online shopping however I was focused on the front and the black back is so ugly ugggg so for those who don’t do research like me beware the fridge is white and pretty in the front with a black box back which is my fault, so I have it delivered so it will be in perfect condition welllllllllllll that didn’t happen first thing I notice one door high...
Great features - HORRIBLE ice maker!
This refrigerator looks great! It does have a lot of good features - spacious. The biggest draw-back is the external ice maker. IT SUCKS! The ice maker unit is too small and doesn't produce much ice - when it does - takes much longer to get it in a glass....sometimes no ice for the entire day. I am now looking into buying a good countertop ice maker. Irritating since we spent a fortune on all these appliances - and this is an issue that we deal with daily. i already see defects on the botto...

DOA Refrigerator
Lowe's delivered this refrigerator with the incorrect handles and didn't ensure it was working before leaving. I now have a refrigerator installed with no handles and a does nothing but light up. It was dead on arrival with no quality control prior to delivery. Lowe's suggested that we schedule a GE technician to repair the fridge. Today, the GE technician confirmed that it is not repairable due to a dead condenser. Replacement refrigerator is an additional special order and scheduled out f...

Dystopian water filter system
GE uses RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) digital rights management on their water filter to force you to buy their $55 replacement. Their fridge still doesn’t recognize it. Every single time I replace the filter, the touchscreen throws a “Replace Water Filter” error. There is no manual reset. Last time this happened I had to schedule a service call and wait 30 days. A full month without water or ice from a $4,000 refrigerator — because the fridge couldn’t read its own filter. One of the sug...

Poor performance
We have owned our Cafe fridge for almost 4 years. It worked perfectly for 3 years. Now it intermittently turns completely off. Compressor was showing failure. Replaced. System still doesn’t work. Our home is a new modern build and warranty tech is blaming it on home vs fixing / replacing . This was an expensive purchase. Everything else in our him works and electrical meets compliance / code.
