Easy to set up and set temperature. I like the coffin type so adding dividers will be nice,
Model FCM16DLWW bad experience
Submitted 11-01-22
I purchased one of these and it was delivered in Feb, 2022. I reported air leaks causing excessive frost buildup on inside where lid hinges are located. GE agreed to replace the unit. I was very pleased with their handling of the issue. After the replacement arrived, I started hearing a strange sound, like air escaping under high pressure. This freezer also has the same problem as the first. I reported both problems and after some research by GE, they came back and said the excessive frost buildup was “as designedâ€, and that they were wrong when they replaced the first one. After continued complaints, the finally sent a GE repairman out. He said the sound was “normalâ€. At first he agreed with me about the frost buildup but after making a call, he came back and said it was “as designedâ€. So GE says they made the frost buildup and the strange noise “by designâ€. Where is the common sense here. Thankfully my freezer is in garage. If it was inside, the noise would be totally unacceptable. Now I only hear it when motor is running and I go into garage. My idea of design improvements and that of GE designers is very different. It freezes great btw. I won’t buy another GE product as long as a viable alternative is available.
Keeps steady at -10*F

Doesn’t need to constantly cycle so is pretty quiet. 4 generous bins helps keep things organized.
ALARM AND ENERGY STAR
Submitted 11-01-22
THE ALARM WAS NEEDED BECAUSE THIS WAS GOING IN OUR BARN. AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE FEW WITH AN ENERGY STAR RATING. SO FAR I AM DELIGHTED.
