About - GE GFSF2KEX[WW]
The GE GFSF2KEX[WW] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, bottom freezer refrigerator models like the GFSF2KEX[WW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures. Energy efficiency: This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Features & Specs - GE GFSF2KEX[WW]
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	22.1
Cabinet-depth model Cabinet-depth models usually measure 27 to 28 inches deep, not quite flush with the cabinets, but at least three inches shallower than many standard 36-inch-wide models. You can get models with stainless exteriors or panel kits. Cabinet-depth model	No
French-door style French door models are bottom-freezer refrigerators whose upper compartments have two narrow doors that open similarly to the doors of a side-by-side refrigerator. These narrower doors use less space in front of the refrigerator when opened, and allow access to either or both sides of the full-width fresh-food compartment. Typically more expensive, French-door models are usually 36 inches wide, though some newer models are 33 inches wide. French-door style	Yes
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes

Comment:

When we bought our new home we purchased all GE Profile Appliances. So far the stove, dishwasher and microwave have all been very good. Unfortunately the fridge has had problems with the temperature gauge shortly after the warranty expired. The fridge appears to work fine but the digital display at the top of the fridge only works about 20% of the time. Most of the time its blank so you are unsure what the temperature is or what you have it set for. Not a huge deal but very disappointing for a brand new fridge. Also we have had some issues with the plastic on the shelving cracking and one of the latches on the top of one of the doors broke off recently...but does not appear to have affected the doors ability to close or remain closed so I'm not sure what it was for in the first place. Overall we like the look of the fridge but considering the price we paid are very disappointed with the quality of this unit. We paid more thinking we were getting as better quality unit...unfortunately this has not been the case.

Cheap Plastic Drawer Supports

Comment:

We're Senior Adults so not hard on the Appliance yet - plastic drawer glides break when the drawer is pulled open and you put something like a bag of carrots inside. I believe the cold compromised the plastic strength. Door Ajar alarm goes off even if the door is closed sometimes. Temp. setting light does not work all the time.
