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.

Loud and noisy refrigerator, GDE21ESKRRSS

Tony Pan 6/18/2026

This refrigerator was slightly loud when we bought it, 3 years later is sounds like a power tool in constant use. Really frustrated I have to get a service person out to fix a new refrigerator. It replaced one that was 50 years old and still working fine.

So far so good

Nia922 12/8/2024

First and foremost g was my preferred appliance of all other dealers. I wanted a refrigerator top and freezer bottom due to the space that I thought I was going to be able to gain from having the freezer on the bottom. Plus I didn't like the fact of bending over anymore. This particular model although is very durable I have had it for the past 4 years and it has been pretty good so far. The I had I have had to replace the drawers the refrigerator door compartments as they easily snap. But thank God there is a replacement that can be had and I have been doing so even though I didn't particularly care to.

We have had issues with the ice machine. We have checked all the connections and still no ice. There is no additional information in the instructions other than on/off. We have had others look at it and cannot figure it out either.

A great fridge! Plenty of space. And the shelves are adjustable. A bit limited, tho. Only complaint I have is with the noise. Occasionally, it'll sound like there's a gear stuck. Or, a "grinding," noise.

Lasted 16 months

GEfoolmeonce 6/14/2023

Bought this refrigerator brand new from a reputable dealer. 16 months later it is 55° in both fridge and freezer. Repairman said it had no refrigerant in it. How does a brand new fridge loss all of it refrigerant?!? GE will not help me with anything. Horrible product. Horrible company. I will never own another GE product and will discourage everyone I know from buying GE.

Mathis refrigerator is good looking with lots of storage in the fridge part. The freezer drawer is awkward and it is difficult to fit much in. Plus it was leaking water on our new hickory floors. We turned off the water and are waiting for a new ice maker.

Extremely NOISY

doNotBuyNoisyRefrigerator 9/2/2022

I rent an apartment with this refrigerator, and besides the high rental price, the refrigerator noise is the only thing I dislike. The refrigerator makes a very loud noise all the time (the compressor fan in the freezer at the bottom keeps running all day every day), if you leave the door opened for a few minutes, the thing kicks all fans at full speed for hours. The temperatures are ok, the appliance refrigerates well, but my 'decades' older refrigerator does not make even half of the noise of this 'supposed' ultra-modern refrigerator does. I am very bothered and frustrated. I am an engineer and I know how consumer end products should be designed and tested. Here in the reviews they even acknowledge that they do not rate the noise levels in dB (of course, because then consumers would find out before buying them!) but the definitely should provide that information because us the consumers will be hearing this all day, especially now with this new 'normal' working from home. It is so loud that even with headphones on I can hear how low it is. The unit does not show you when it will shut off, or for how long it has to run this loud. I highly recommend that you look for another refrigerator model that makes less noise than this one. Message for GE engineering:: running the compressor longer for energy-saving purposes and multiple fans at full speed does not justify sacrificing user comfort; you guys are paid for coming up with a design that balances those trade-offs, I spend hours learning and trying things in my job in order to provide good solutions in the stuff that I make/design, please do that as well. I have now spend several hours researching technicians biogs and reading users manuals just to find out that I should fully load the refrigerator and those super loud nosies are "normal".

Great Fridge, but could be quieter

Jammin John 7/13/2022

Flexible shelf setup, Plenty of room. Controls are a little flaky as you cycle through temps in ascending order only. Doesn™€™t run all the time, but when it does - it™€™s a little loud and the tone™€™s frequency is unpleasant. Not sure if my cabinet enclosure may just hit the resonate frequency. But I will need to mitigate it somehow.

MarkSFBayArea 5/13/2022

We have a small kitchen with a relatively small area for a refrigerator. This refrigerator was the best one we could find that fit the 32" width we have available. We love the bottom freezer drawer and the general organization of the shelving and interior doors. The ice maker works great! The only drawback is a lack of a butter compartment.

Wonderful refrigerator with one issue.

DavinaSheepdogs 2/7/2022

We bought this refrigerator for our cabin. With a small kitchen we knew we needed something with a single door and this option, with the freezer drawer beneath was a great choice, with one exception. The glass refrigerator shelves are enclosed in an attractive plastic trim on all sides, the trouble is that if anything leaks (chicken, beef) it catches between the glass and plastic trim and is impossible to properly clean and sanitize. I have been soaking the shelf in hot water and cleaning solutions trying without success to remove the dried blood caught in the shelf liner. Because of the design there doesn't seem to be any way to separate the two materials.

Does what it's supposed to do

Larry M34 1/17/2022

We decided we could live without a water dispenser but must have ice. We like the utility of the bottom freeze. It's not huge but there's just 2 of us. It looks good and works great. One minor flaw is that it's a little noisy when compressor is running but nothing you can't get used to and may depend on your placement I suppose. 6 months i and so far we're happy.

The waterline to the ice maker lines in the path of the cooling fan. I've had two of these, neither lasting longer than 6 months when the ice maker and water line starts freezing up and keeps freezing up. Looking for another fridge to replace this one again. And also the filter from GE, based on model number, did not fit.
