About - GE FUM21SVR[WW]
The GE FUM21SVR[WW] is part of the freezer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, freezer models like the FUM21SVR[WW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: Temperature performance combines results of several tests that measured how closely the manufacturer's recommended settings matched the ideal temperature at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and how well a model kept optimum temperatures in all parts of the freezer despite constant changes in room temperature ranging from 55 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Energy efficiency: Energy efficiency reflects energy use for the usable volume (our measurement) based on average energy costs. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Comment:

Brought this home in December for use in the Spring. When I plugged it in it didn't chill. At all. [...] GE customer service paying lip service, but can't find a servicer in my area and therefore appear to be paralyzed. They decided to send me a new compressor, but what the heck am I supposed to do with that without a technician to put it in????

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
