Questions & Answers

does it come in white?
Asked by Terry April 6, 20183
AnswersNot to my knowledge
Just purchased but seems louder
Asked by nj888 July 22, 20153
AnswersWe bought ours with the house being constructed so cannot return it. It sits next to a wall behind which is my mothers bed headboard. She is unable to sleep well because all night long she is subjected to "hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmm". I called for repair but they said this is normal because of the high efficiency compressor and I just have to live with it. Might just throw it out and buy something else since we cannot return it.
What is "hands free precise fill"?
Asked by Annie January 22, 20163

Difficult to clean
December 19, 2020
Customer review from geappliances.com 
Hot water heater takes several minutes to warm up. Chrome inside fridge in front of shelves bubbles and peels off after a few months of use
Drawers aren’t able to be removed without taking out the entire shelves both doors have to be open to open deli drawer. There’s no alarm on the freezer door if it doesn’t close all the way like most fridges have now to alert you the door didn’t close.
Response from Cafe January 18, 2021

Customer review from cafeappliances.com
My sister got this fridge last year and I loved it so I went and bought myself one and I love mine even more
Beauty with excellent functionality
December 6, 2020
Customer review from cafeappliances.com
Replaced and disappointing LG with this to match our Cafe oven and cooktop. The inside is very similar to LG, so the transition was easy. The Cafe has a much larger ice making capability with a larger in door bin. It’s touch panel and controls for dispensing ice and water are excellent. Keeps all food fresh and frozen perfectly. Can’t be beat for beauty, Lots of in door space in the bins. Ours came with some scratches on all the doors which we noticed within ghr first week, thankfully. GE has a 7 day cosmetic warranty. So we called the problem in right away, they sent out an authorized service company, and all three doors are being replaced at no cost. So inspect carefully right away for cosmetic flaws. Expensive, but worth it. We have the matte white and changed to the brushed stainless handles.
Best fridge we have ever owned!

Customer review from cafeappliances.com
We moved into our home a two weeks ago and had the cafe series installed at our home. It was a major step up from our Samsung appliances we had at our last place. The hot water dispenser was a nice added touch that we have made full use of for our morning tea.
Great looking and great features!
September 19, 2020
Customer review from cafeappliances.com
This refrigerator is about a month old and I am so pleased we decided on GE Cafe. We love the hot water dispenser for tea and hot chocolate. And it’s size makes it perfect for our family of 5.
Nice Looking!

Customer review from cafeappliances.com
Been using less than a month, but enjoying it so far. Love the hot water dispenser. I do hear it goes through water filters quickly, but haven’t come across that yet since it’s so new. Large drawers and love the different temperature a settings with them all
Beautiful,efficient, functional

Customer review from cafeappliances.com
We waited 3 weeks to have this fridge delivered and the wait was so worth it! It is beautiful, sleek, large, spacious, there is great use of the space. Live it
Ok fridge when it works
June 2, 2020
Customer review from cafeappliances.com
The ice maker leaks water, the upper shelf of the fridge freezes anything liquid and the freezer ices up and leaks water everywhere. This is my second fridge of this model with the same issues. The repair guys from GE keeps saying they never see this problem, but I can’t be the only one with this issue. Save your time and money, buy a different brand.
Beautiful style and features!!
April 15, 2020
Customer review from cafeappliances.com
