A counter-depth French door fridge that stays near flush with cabinets while offering a split cooling design. Plan for door swing, since the open depth is far greater than the cabinet line.

Overview
GE Profile builds this freestanding refrigerator with French doors on top and a freezer below. TwinChill evaporators handle the top and bottom compartments separately, and an external dispenser supplies cold water and ice.
A shallow body that lines up with surrounding cabinets, without giving up a full-size interior, sets this fridge apart. Volume is the trade: it holds less than a standard-depth French door unit, and the freezer is the smaller section.
Who it's for
A kitchen where the fridge stands beside counters and a deep unit would jut into the walkway is the natural home. Households that stock lots of frozen bulk food, or that need a smaller footprint than a wide French door, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Counter-depth body lines up with cabinets
- Separate evaporators for food and freezer
- Cold water dispenser on the door
- Energy Star qualified
- Freezer section is the smaller half
- Very heavy to move and install
- Needs generous space for door swing
Performance notes
Two evaporators mean the food side and freezer do not share one air stream, which helps limit odor transfer and dry freezer air reaching produce. The compressor-driven system runs on a standard household outlet, and a quick-space shelf adjusts to fit tall items on the glass shelves.
