Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Temperature not consistent
I have no complaints about the freezer, but the refrigerator is too warm in some spots, and too cold in others. I have thrown away so many spoiled strawberries because they froze 1 day after buying them, and our milk goes bad in a day or two because it’s too warm on the top shelf even though it’s set to the coldest setting. I had the warranty service come, they took one temperature reading and said it was fine. Our refrigerator is currently set to 33° so why is our milk 40°? What a joke!! Also...

Good fridge so far
Having had a previous GE Fridge in the "Adora" line from 2014, I expected much the same. And we got the same color (slate), which is GORGEOUS. This one, counter-depth, is a nice fridge with nice lighting, but I was a bit astounded to see how teeny the ice reservoir is in the freezer - I guess that makes it lighter when removing it I suppose. It has THREE crisper drawers in the refrigerator, which some don't, and I am SO glad - we use two for fruits & vegetables, and one for lunch meats & chees...

defrost system is awful
We bought this fridge in 2020 which I realize is now 6 years old, but during that time span I've had to fix it numerous times. Always the defrost system in the freezer. First the temperature sensor, then it worked great for a year until the heating element went out, and later the thermostat. Every single time I have to move all the stuff into my ugly, decades old garage freezer that can still actually freeze stuff somehow while I work on my awful stupid new freezer. I only wish I lived close...

So far so good
Lots of ice, never out. Almost could fill cooler. Runs, quiet, no mold or problems. Water dispenser fast, and no warranty issues...unlike those pesky LG's (problems)which I owned before. 2nd GE product I own, rather pay the money, (or in this case save lots of money) for a GE than these other brands.

Love it!
One of the best refrigerators I have ever owned. The temperature stay cool. It reads what temperature for the fridge and freezer. It also tells me the percentage my filter is on. I also have to option if I would like for my light for my water dispenser to stay on or off.

My measurements were correct!
Appliance is fine. We like it. On delivery day, 1/5/26, the three-man delivery crew were concerned that the appliance wouldn't fit through the counter area. Also, that the old refrigerator wouldn't come out without damaging the counter. They thought they could get an additional team to lift the appliances, old and new, over the counter area. After consulting with their advisor, we were told that they didn't do that anymore and it would be up to me to get additional people to lift the applia...

Why can't it be leveled?!!!
So far mediocre. It is not even possible to level the side-by-side refrigerator front-to-rear! (Model GZS22xxxxx.) Only the front rollers can be adjusted up and down, but even with them completely down, the lower front protrudes 1 1/4" further out than the top! This model doesn't have adjustable rear wheels. our floor is level as is our cabinetry. The unit works well and for that I am pleased. The LED lighting is great. There is more interior space than our 2004 36" wide model had.

Refrigerator Nightmare
If I could give this refrigerator zero stars, I would have done that. It has been a disaster from the time it was delivered. It was delivered on 07/31/25. Three days after it was hooked up, I opened the refrigerator door and the water filter had exploded...it was frozen. I called Lowe's and they told me it was past the 48-hour window to return appliances. Of course, it takes at least that long for the new refrigerator to come to temperature. So, strike one. They gave me the number for G...

Major Design Flaws and Poor Temperature Regulation
I deeply regret purchasing this GE refrigerator, as it consistently fails to meet even the most basic quality and performance standards. As a retired industrial engineer with over two decades of experience in appliance assembly lines, R&D, and quality control, I believe I can offer a well-informed critique. Below are the significant issues I’ve identified: Design and Usability Issues 1. Freezer Shelves: The shelves in the freezer compartment are too small, severely limiting storage capacity an...

Annoying noises
Purchased this unit from a local store about 3 weeks ago to replace an older GE fridge. The look, depth, inside storage, temps of both the freezer and refrigerator sections we like very much. However there are two continual noise issues that make me regret buying this model. We were past the Lowes 48 hour return period, so I wound up having the warranty repair service coming over. The Bodewell tech said even though they may be annoying to me these are considered "normal" operational noises and c...
