Product review (1 stars): 9cu previously that was just fine - kept food cold - did what it was ...
I had a GE 9.9cu previously that was just fine - kept food cold - did what it was designed to do. After 17 years it finally broke down - and I decided to replace it with this new model.  What a mistake I made. Just dreadful Every 2-3 weeks- or whenever the mood strikes it - it decides to defrost itself.  The first time it happened - I thought it was defective - until I found out that this is normal for this model.  Everything in the freezer defrosts to room temperature.  The refrigerator compartment becomes warm.  I have to throw out food constantly. There is NO way to control this.  I have tried lowering settings - nothing can override defrost cycle. Buyer beware - KEEP away!
