Frequently Asked Questions About Top Freezer Refrigerators

    What are the benefits of a top freezer refrigerator compared to other styles?

    Top freezer refrigerators offer eye-level access to frozen goods, which helps with storage and accessibility. They are narrower than French door refrigerators and side-by-side refrigerators, making them great for smaller kitchens and garages.

    Top freezer refrigerators are also generally cheaper than other refrigerator types, and because cold air naturally drops, they can be more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

    How much storage space do top freezer refrigerators typically offer?

    The GE Appliances range of top freezer refrigerators offer up to 24 cu. ft. of storage. We have small, medium, and large models so you can choose the size and capacity that works best for you.

    Many of our top freezer refrigerators come with edge-to-edge adjustable shelving in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments so you can get the most out of the space and adapt it to suit your food storage needs.

    Do GE top freezer refrigerators come with energy-efficient options?

    Top freezer refrigerators are generally energy-efficient because cold air naturally drops from the freezer to help keep the refrigerator compartment cool. Many GE top freezer refrigerators are also ENERGY STAR® certified. This means they meet or exceed federal guidelines for energy efficiency, which helps keep your energy use and bills lower.

    Are ice makers or water dispensers available in GE top freezer refrigerators?

    Many GE top freezer refrigerators come with a built-in factory-installed icemaker. This means your top freezer refrigerator is ready to automatically create ice without needing manual ice trays.

    Water dispensers are less common in GE top freezer refrigerators. If you’re looking for a refrigerator with a water dispenser and an ice maker, check out our French door refrigerators or side-by-side refrigerators.

    Can I install a top freezer refrigerator in a garage or basement?
