What owners talk about most
“I chose a counter-depth fridge to go with my new kitchen upgrade. It's a nice-looking refrigerator, and I do like the ice and water dispenser. However, the freezer area is very small and the plastic drawers are CHEAP and are fragile. You will sacrifice capacity for looks.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
Most reviewers praise the spacious interior and flexible storage capacity. The refrigerator offers 20.6 cubic feet of capacity with configurable shelving that accommodates tall items and provides good visibility of stored food. However, some owners note that the freezer compartment is smaller than expected, and those accustomed to side-by-side models may find the layout less suitable for very tall items.
Yes, reviewers consistently report that this model is energy efficient. The unit uses 647 kWh per year and several owners specifically note its energy-conservative performance, making it a good choice for those concerned about utility costs.
Experiences with the ice maker are mixed. Some owners report it works well with no issues, while others note problems including intermittent operation, failure to dispense consistently, dispensing too many cubes at once, or complete failure. A few reviewers also mention the ice maker can be loud during operation.
Yes, owners consistently praise the counter-depth design for fitting perfectly in standard kitchen spaces. The unit measures 35.6 inches wide, 69.9 inches tall, and 30.9 inches deep, and reviewers note it provides more usable space than expected for a counter-depth model.
Several reviewers report issues with the freezer drawer, particularly the top drawer sliding out when the bottom drawer is opened or getting stuck in the track. Some also note the drawers are thin, plastic, and fragile, and that the freezer is difficult to access. A few owners mention the drawer design feels awkward to use.
Some reviewers note that the thermostat can be inaccurate, requiring adjustment to achieve the desired temperature. Others mention the temperature display is difficult to read due to light printing on the control panel, and one owner reported that temperature settings require cycling all the way up before resetting. A few also note the lack of an internal temperature display.
A small number of owners have reported significant failures, including compressor failure within 18 months and units stopping completely within 3 months. Additionally, some reviewers note that shelves and plastic components break or crack relatively easily, and that replacement parts can be difficult to order or unavailable. However, most reviewers report satisfactory performance, and some note their previous GE models lasted many years.
Most reviewers find the refrigerator easy to use and set up, with several praising the straightforward design and clear directions. However, some owners note that the instruction guide lacks detail on specific features like how to operate the ice maker, control settings, and the front-panel selection guide, which can make learning all functions more difficult.

I like the capacity of it and the features that it has it's easy to understand and follow
Nice fridge. Idiotic review moderation. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Honestly, my 20 year old fridge broke, and I was looking for something that was in stock and could be delivered ASAP. I didn’t do much research other than knowing I wanted a counter-depth fridge. I lucked out! This fridge is super sleek, has a lot of room, and fits perfectly in…
Great Refrigerator. Looks great and cold within 4 hours.
Purchases my GE refrigerator/Freezer back in 10/25 and I'm loving it so far. The only issue that I have had was the ice gotten frozen and wouldn't dispense. I love the design!
