cooling difference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thermostat on door says one thing and the temperature in the refrigerator says something else. about 5 degrees difference.

Short life

2.5 years old, compressor went out. Local appliance store sent rep for service call to confirm. now waiting 8-10 days to replace it. It was great while it ran but unhappy with the short compressor life. Waiting on Cafe' to confirm coverage. CAFÉ™ ENERGY STAR® 27.7 Cu. Ft.

Great refrigerator

Love the look of my cafe refrigerator and it so far cools and freezes great. I love the hot water dispenser.

Very Nice

We love the look and storage capacity for smaller refrigerator. The only minor issue is that the ice maker is relatively slow to replenish ice and the ice container is not very large so running out quickly is a real possibility.

Most Expensive/Worst Refrigerator Ever....

There's a part of me that's so sad seeing so many people love this fridge. I loved it too, until it started failing. We bought it in 2018, and almost immediately started having trouble with it. The water hose was leaking (which was an especially hard blow because it was replacing a fridge that leaked). We've paid over the years to update the warranty and have had 4 service calls in those years, only some of which were covered by the warranty. I've probably spent 800-1000$ servicing this refr...

Nice Refrigerator When Its Working

We have owned this refrigerator for less than four years now. A few days ago the unit began to fail again. It could no longer maintain an adequate freezer or fresh food temperature. It appears that the compressor has failed again. This will be the 3rd compressor failure for the unit. GE replaced the original compressor with a new identical unit the first time. Then it failed again. GE then replaced it with a newer compressor that operates with Butane as the coolant; which meant that other...

BEAUTIFUL and looks like a high end appliance

Beautiful design and a good sized refrigerator and freezer with several arrangement options. While we love the ice & water dispenser on the outside door v inside the unit, it doesn't make enough ice for our family. Also, the gasket around the inside refrigerator door won't stay on as if it's too big for the door so that has to be replaced.

Terrible quality, doors hard to close

Terrible product. Poor quality and many annoyances, the worst being that the doors are difficult to close. Normally you just gently push a refrigerator door and it auto closes, but this fridge requires a ton of force to close the doors. It is annoying beyond belief.

Great Features!

Enjoying the new fridge. Like the hot water option from the door as well as the half shelf for other tall items.

Not what I was expecting

A few things that I was very disappointed with. The quality of the refrigerator feels very cheap. Whenever I open the freezer, it feels flimsy and wobbly. The plastic inserts are solo flimsy and feel cheap. The the three buttons of “water, crushed, cubed” feel very cheap and you can see all of them move when one is selected. rate of water flow from the dispenser is anemically slow and takes forever to fill cups. Not sure I would purchase another product like this.

Solid - but no autofill seems like a huge miss

Overall it’s been solid. Good layout and looks nice. Impossible to figure out the photos option / upload although it’s something I don’t really care to have / need anyway. Biggest issue I have is - there’s no ability to auto fill anything with the water dispenser. The display reads out the amount of water dispensed in real time a “precise fill” seems redundant / useless and you have to keep the lever pushed in the entire time you’re filling. Wish I could set a volume I wanted filled and walk awa...

Avoid GE appliances

We have had our cafe refrigerator for three years. The filters come on an auto ship for replacement. Our last set had two faulty filters which is about $100 in filters. When I called to say they were faulty GE told me they were out of warranty even though they send a 3 pack that is replaced every 6 months. When I said that is ridiculous they told me well you don’t have to buy 3 at a time. Horrible customer service and as soon as this refrigerator breaks we will be switching brands.

Very pleased!

Very attractive and functional addition to our kitchen. Love the hot water feature! Steady temp, quiet operation, very well lit interior.

Who designed this?

Possibly the worst designed refrigerator I have ever seen. Ice capacity is ridiculously small. Doors don’t open far enough yo allow full access to the lower drawer.

pretty and easy

Love this fridge.... Don't love how I can still see little pieces of the green plastic still in the grooves of handles or inside the doors because of how it needed to be taken off when it was already installed and placed in my kitchen. But I do love how easy it was to connect this fridge to the wifi and how simple it is to use it in the app. All good qualities.

Poor quality, save your money

I’ll be honest 14 months touch screen broke no help from ge. Replaced screen with updated part and touch screen works but reboots when trying to switch from crushed to cubes, Hot water tank stopped working. Have to buy ge filter with QR code. Not impressed with 3 thousand dollar fridge. I’ll pass on anything ge from now on .

Life spawned right now can not u this refrigerator

Purchased this refrigerator 6 years ago - the inside light starting malfunctioning. Then the temp starting rising . Terrible customer service from the cafe company . A refrigerator like this should last a lot longer !
