Product review (3 stars): 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.
