After 24 hours to settle in, my new refrigerator registers 36.5 degrees F. Variation over the last 12 hours was 38 degrees maximum, and 35 degrees minimum. The freezer is at 0.5 degrees, with a variation of +5 to -2 degrees. Perfect! I did have to set it at 4, rather than the recommended 3. The stainless steel doors are beautiful, with the rounded corners. This is my third GE refrigerator. The first two each lasted twenty years with no issues or repairs. It's quite elegant for a small, basic, energy-saving refrigerator. I love it!
