LOUD!
rmc

I did a LOT of research before I bought this model. 26 out of 32 people gave it 5 stars. Well, I like the fridge fine but it is so LOUD! I know others complained about it, but I wasn't prepared for how noisy it is. My old Kenmore, which I had for 23 years, made no noise at all. I can hear it on the other side of the house. Sounds like a dishwasher running. Even my two cats look up, like, what's going on? And when the ice falls into the bucket, they jump. I have called for a repair person to come later in the week, but based on what I've heard others say, I don't expect anything will happen there. If I return it, there will be a 20% restocking fee (which would be over $108 dollars and I would lose, of course, the nonrefundable delivery charge for a total of $168. Or, I can replace it with the exact same model. The previous reviewer said shame on GE, and I agree. Shame on GE for such a noisy appliance. I thought modern appliances were supposed to be better!!!!!

Good but Noisy

After my new G.E. fridge was plugged in, i thought the strange sounds it made were perhaps the device doing some sort of adjustment. I believed the noisiness would diminish. 'Wrong'! I have owned 'two' other refrigerators in my life-time and never experienced such odd 'loud' sounds. I began to fear that I had a 'lemon'..and with one particular sound that mimicked a 'sputtering fan with its motor dying', I became anxious that the whole thing was going to 'gasp' and die! I was told,..not to worry,..but to expect that this model would be making sounds unique to the model. My previous refrigerators made a low-humming monotone sound, which could lull you to sleep if all other sound devices in the house were turned off;..but this new G.E. model does the opposite. No lulling here...because it produces a 'symphony of discordant sounds'..& all it's sounds are abrasive. Refrigerators usually are a 'background' sound..not a 'center-stage' solo. The question of importance to me is this; is anyone from G.E. reading any of these posts regarding their product? My second major concern is 'how will I know when this appliance has a 'real' need for a repair, since it always sounds as if it is in its 'death-throes'.I will end by saying that if the 'noisiness' were absent, I would have no problem with this model's efficiency.

Loud? Not as loud as people are saying. I really like it.

Great for the price, and people who are saying that it's "too loud" must have had absolutely silent refrigerators before. Yes, when it's running you can hear it, but it doesn't run constantly. My kitchen is connected to the rest of my apartment (basically a studio) and with the TV on I can not hear it. Great purchase, don't let the "loud" reviews scare you away from a good deal.

More noise more often

This refrigerator makes more noise more often than any refrigerator I've ever had or that I've heard in my friends and family's homes. And not only is it noisy, but it runs more often than most refrigerators. The most annoying sound is a wheezing, like someone gasping for air, which can go on for 5 minutes or more, and starts up whenever you open the refrigerator door, as well as after periods of relative quiet. From reviews here and on Amazon, it seems that this is common to this model, but the only way to "fix" it is to exchange it for a more expensive model and pay the difference, and maybe a re-stocking fee (depending on where you bought it.).Also, there is only one shelf in the freezer compartment, but I found a shelf for $5 at a hardware store that fit below the installed shelf, and it works just fine.

We purchased this fridge one month ago from a brick and mortar electronic store that had a very good price on the unit. I know people say it's loud but I've yet to hear any loud noises coming from this fridge. The fridge does hum and seems to do so longer then most fridges. The humming sound is slightly louder then other fridges but I would not call it a major issue and rarely do I notice it.Pros - works well and very energy efficientcons - tight fridge for space (only 28" in width) so for a large family it may not do the job
