Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

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.

Runs quiet

KM02 4/8/2022

The fridge looks large on the inside but in fact holds the same amount as my smaller fridge did. It was a 19.1 cu ft and this is a 21.1 cu ft. Not a lot of difference but worth noting. It is quiet and performs well. The only thing I do not like is that the way the shelves are designed, you cannot put a gallon of milk on the top shelf. You would need to remove one shelf in order to do so. I do not drink a lot of milk so it is not a deal breaker for me.

Piece of crap! Do not buy this.

Crap fridge 1/19/2022

Shortly after 1 year warranty, the cheap plastic drawer broke. Year three, compressor fan blade breaks. No parts to be found anywhere in Canada. So, pay this much for a fridge to last three years if you like. Called GE, too bad, so sad. Much better buying used 25 year old fridge than this.

2 weeks old and failing

Delphine_D 7/19/2021

The product was installed less than a month ago, bought new from The Home Depot and it started to fail a week later, the sides being too hot to keep a hand on more than a few seconds. Now the freezer part doesn't make ice anymore and the fridge is barely at acceptable temperature to keep food safe. I'm very disappointed with that appliance and waiting for it to be repaired instead of having a brand new one delivered and the problem being investigated on the GE side.
