Ive been researching refigerators for the last 4 months and have changed my mind after my choice for each one. Ran across your video and the GE has everything I'm looking for. Thank you for the detailed information for the items it offers. The ice bucket is just fine. I do like that it's enclosed on the door making it less likely to get warm air into it when the actual refrigerator door is opened.
That thick and sturdy plastic is called Lexan. It’s also used to make hurricane shutters and commercial kitchen storage. You can stand on those drawers.
Great video. I saw the profile at Home Depot and there's been so many bad reviews about it but from what I see it looks like a pretty good refrigerator
Replaced the Samsung (Showcase) from hell with this one and couldn’t be happier so far! The ice maker doesn’t require chipping out three inches of ice weekly, the handle on the middle drawer hasn’t broken off in my hand, the freezer bucket hasn’t fallen apart TWICE, it cools consistently, the doors shut snugly, the water filter is easy to access etc etc. Honestly a block of ice in a cooler is better than that Samsung! Very happy with this GE so fart if it holds up I will have it for a long time!
I have the GE Profile 27.9 cu. ft. Smart 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with Door in Door in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel - only negative for me - was only available in the stainless color. The lighting is 100 white for me; no odd off colors at all. Don’t overfill the top freezer section; easy to knock something down into the back and a pain to get out. But that’s normal for these styles - not really a fault of this model. Bottom line - do not over fill your freezer. Especially on top.
I have a problem. Mine gets cold but not cold enough to make ice in freezer or for built in ice maker to work. It might be that the compressor fan stopped working to help it get extra cold to make ice. Sad, only 3 years old. Im going to try and replace the cheap what looks like a computer fan.
This was very helpful thanks. Do you find any temp loss around the ‘quick door’? Is the upper space staying at 37 evenly? And are the crisper doors keeping things crisp. I am replacing an LG and it wilted everything from the start.
i've had my GE profile 24.7 cubic ft for 2 yrs (model: GNE25JMKTFES) - fantastic refrigerator! and no, the LED at the top of mine is a neutral color - NOT yellow
Did you have problems getting this in you home? We just ordered this and the delivery guy basically said it wouldn't fit in out door because of the middle door not being able to come off.
I had my refrigerator delivered last week and had to send it back because the delivery guys refused to remove the middle door. May I ask who delivered your refrigerator because this refrigerator was the ideal one that suits our needs? I purchased this refrigerator from Costco and may have had the wrong delivery guys for this fantastic product. Your review of this product was excellent and extremely helpful. Your response is extremely appreciated.😊
@@lorengaffin4469 we purchased it through Lowe’s and I’ll get back to you on who delivered it. I will check with the wife later as she was home when it was delivered.
@fgpalm I had Lows as well these contractors they hire are lazy and don't want to do there job, long story short they had a more experienced team come and bring it in the house. Overall I'm loving this refrigerator.
I do have a question , how long does it take to fill the I e maker for the 1st time? After 6 hrs it had about 12 cubes, they said to throw away the 1st col buckets. I'm like geez we won't have ice for days!
We are going to wait till tomorrow to put food in there, I hope we end up liking it, it wsnt cheap. But didn't come with any directions and ur video helped alot! Hope the icemaker starts working soon!
We have owned ours for just over a year. The water dispenser randomly dispenses water and the ice maker mechanisms freeze up with water that has frozen on the underside of the ice cube tray. Anyone else with these issues?
Got a GE Cafe years ago recently had a problem and had some difficulties finding someone to even work on it, one refused. The problem was a small circulation fan made in China, looked like a computer fan. Fan was $125 but total bill was over$500. I do not like the ice maker, the cubes stic together and do not come out untold broken apart.
@@tonywong303 oh ok, thanks for clarifying. Wish the bosch 800 was way bigger. Well going to roll with this ge profile because it is $2049 on sale and I have a $1900 credit from this 8 year old pos samsung. Second samsung since 2012. And the bosch 500 is smaller than the ge and has one compressor as well.
In my local HD, this unit's water filter door had snapped its anchor off and it would flap open. We noticed at one point that someone had taped it shut but for whatever reason they had removed this tape. Was this a fluke or is it easy to break this water filter door lock thing?
What no one mentions is that stupid water filter costs 60 bucks due to the rfid chip thats in there and can use the GE product to work correctly. When you use the normal xwf filter no water will come out unlless you are able to get the rfid tag off the old filter. But then you are stuck with the change filter notification...
Looks like if you call GE and mention that you don’t need filters (maybe because you have a whole house water filter system) they will ship you a free bypass for filter. They will only do this within the first year of purchase, apparently. If you are over a year, then you will have to buy it off the internet from third party. But once you install this bypass, you will not need another filter ever!
@@denitathomas384 both water and ice dispense through the door. I do wish the ice cubes came out a little bit more orderly… Sometimes they miss the glass and shoot out onto the floor.
I just bought one too. Negatives: 1. It hasn't cooled. It's stuck in "demo mode". No instructions. How do you get it out of demo mode? 2. It doesn't come with a water filter. So, it doesn't get cold, doesn't produce water, and it doesn't produce ice. It's just great. :(
Ours was delivered & installed yesterday by Abt (Chicago area) and it came with the water filter. Also they ensured all settings were turned on and working. We had a full ice bin by this morning. Fortunately no issues so far.
I just bought one, however my right hand front door won’t close all the way:(, does anyone have any experience with this issue? How can I fix it ? Thank you guys🙏🏼
@@fgpalm been looking for all new appliances for a kitchen remodel and came across this info from reviews on Lowe's. Not sure if exact model or not but I would assume they are all the same. I'm sick of looking because they are all junk. My 22 year old Maytag is still running fine, but will upgrade everything.

Can anyone tell me if the water that is dispensed is supposed to be cold? I assumed it would be chilled water, but our refrigerator is just dispensing room temperature water. Thanks!

I’m about to buy the same fridge. Your video was of great help👍🏾👍🏾. Thanks
You are welcome!
Such a helpful review! I’m in the market for a fridge and this is one I am considering.
you'll love it - this is a good time to buy, too - i saved 500 on mine back in january 2021
Excellent information! Thank you Frank!😊

Had zero issues so far
Thank you! This was a really helpful video.
Welcome!
I noticed you had a wifi indicator on your screen. How'd you turn yours on?? Can't seen to figure that out.
Honestly, I think I googled it 😂

It takes 24-48 hours for the ice maker to stabilize and you should throw away the first 2 batches of ice per GE.
We have owned ours for just over a year. The water dispenser randomly dispenses water and the ice maker mechanisms freeze up with water that has frozen on the underside of the ice cube tray. Anyone else with these issues?

Saved me from buying Bosch 800. Thank you, great detailed review.
wdym Bosch 800 has 2 compressor two completely different unit. Don’t get fooled by the appearance
@@tonywong303 doesnt this one have two compressors as well? I know it has two evaporators, not sure if that means compressors as well.

Does ice dispense through the door or just water
@@denitathomas384 both water and ice dispense through the door. I do wish the ice cubes came out a little bit more orderly… Sometimes they miss the glass and shoot out onto the floor.
My fridges door in door handle doesn’t bring the second compartment with it no matter if I’m holding down the handle or not, do you know a fix?
Sounds like you might have a broken latch?
GE technician came to resolve that issue for me
Awesome video!----Yes I'm buying it for my new home. Hey, did you have a plumber hook it up?
Didn’t need one the water line was already there…the installers hooked it up.
@@fgpalm Great TY

My unit doesn't have the yellow8ng to it
How often do you have to change the filter?
Not sure it’s been a couple months and I haven’t had to replace it yet
@@fgpalmheard they require GE filters due to a RFID chip in them. You can't just get any old brand of filter. Lame.

How’s the Bezeli Apple Watch band?
Did a quick video about it on the channel
@@fgpalm yup. I saw it. I mean how’s your experience with it so far?
@@inkdah21 it’s pretty good. My family member says it looks “like plastic” but that the only negative thing iv heard about it
@@fgpalm great! Thanks.
How do u get it out of demo mode
Idk 🤷🏼♂️ mine didn’t come in demo
Does it make icemajer?
It makes ice
I’m having trouble with the shelf right under the swivel bin , my bin doesn’t fit but it’s the only big piece left 😢 did you have this problem ?
I had no issues! Thankfully. Hope you solve it!
Cool
We have the same fridge and yeah it does have the yellowish stain. It’s like the factory removed a sticker or something.
Thank you!
Crescent shaped ice... dealbreaker.
The ice could also be a bit larger but whatever
ahh the obligatory spiedie marinade ;)
Yes sir 👍
Ge profile refrigerator makes loud noise
That blue tape needs to be removed from the crisper drawers...
I took care of it after this video
We bought this a few weeks ago..idk man it’s just still hard to believe I paid $3500 for a fridge.
You got ripped it was $2,999 at Lowe’s before tax
@@fgpalm yeah that’s where I bought it. Price is after tax and extended warranty.
