of Energy Residential Refrigerator and 

Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Decision and order. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) gives notice of the 

decision and order (Case No. RF–028) 

that grants to GE Appliances (GE) a 

waiver from the DOE electric 

refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test 

procedures for determining the energy 

consumption of residential refrigeratorfreezers for the basic models set forth in 

its petition for waiver. Under today’s 

decision and order, GE shall be required 

to test and rate its refrigerator-freezers 

with separate fresh-food and freezer 

evaporators and a compressor that 

cycles in a non-uniform pattern using an 

alternate test procedure that takes this 

technology into account when 

measuring energy consumption. 

DATES: This Decision and Order is 

effective June 27, 2013.
