We bought this refrigerator 6werks ago and have regretted the purchase. This is the loudest refrigerator we have ever heard. It runs constantly and makes a high-pitched up and down whirring sound. Our family room is connected to our kitchen, so it is very annoying. GE came out and replaced one of the fans, but it still sounds the same. If it weren’t for the matching slate color with our other slate appliances, we would certainly have returned it. We do NOT recommend any GE refrigerator.
