Introduction
*This new Profile Side by Side dual evaporator refrigerator has the following features:
•New integrated dispenser with LED lighting, child lock, and door alarm combined with LCD screen provides customer control of temperatures and features presented in computer-style menus.
•Separate freezer and fresh food evaporators with independent cooling.
•No damper/air inlet assembly in the fresh food section creates more usable space on the top shelf.
•Greater fresh food humidity to keep food fresher, longer.
•20% less freezer defrost for better food preservation.
•3-way valve to direct refrigerant flow.
•Nearly silent, only 30 dBA.
•Precise Fill technology dispenses fresh, filtered water in accurate measurements.
•QuickFreezeTM ― Freeze items 2 times faster to enhance food preservation. During normal freezing, ice crystals form in the shape of needles that puncture the cell walls of meat. Punctured cell walls lose fluid during defrosting thus losing nutrients and freshness. The QuickFreeze option freezes the cell walls before ice needles develop.
•Quick Ice ― Increases ice production by approximately 40%.
•TurboCoolTM ― Rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment in order to more quickly cool foods.
•CustomCoolTM ― Quickly chill, thaw, or hold items at a specific temperature.
•Electronic Beverage Center ― Keeps beverages and treats icy cold and easily accessible.
•GE Reveal® Lighting ― Casts a clean, beautiful light throughout the refrigerator.
The 3-speed compressor* is controlled by an inverter that receives input from the low voltage DC side of the main control board. The inverter always has 120 VAC applied when the refrigerator is connected to power. The main control board still makes compressor decisions based on the input of thermistors, door-open time, and input from the LCD display. The main control also operates all other electrical components in the refrigerator such as the water valve, fan motors, lights, etc.
* Features may vary by model.

About ClimateKeeperTM
How it Works
The ClimateKeeper2™ is the industry’s most advanced refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh longer and reduce freezer burn, while maintaining E starlevel efficiency.
The ClimateKeeper2 system features two evaporators― one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer. This provides two separate cooling systems, and separates
the airflow between the fresh food and freezer compartments during normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are significantly higher than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to retain their moisture content and freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on open shelves without excessive moisture loss. Due to the higher humidity in the refrigerator, you may on
occasion experience fog or small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and may come and go as different food loads and environmental
conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
The separate airflow system minimizes the mixing of air between the two compartments, which reduces fresh food odor transfer to improve the taste of ice. The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool™ feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2 refrigerators versus conventional units.

Dispenser LED Light
The LIGHT selection on the LCD screen turns the dispenser LED lights on and off. When the light selection is turned off, the LEDs will fade out. The dispenser LEDs will come on automatically when the dispenser cradle is pressed and will fade out approximately 5 seconds after it is released. The LIGHT selection will not turn off the LEDs during dispensing.
Dispensing Functions
The water, crushed ice, and cubed ice functions are controlled by the main control board. To select a function, press the appropriate pad on the dispenser. The LED will light to identify the selection.
To dispense ice cubes or crushed ice, choose the appropriate pad and depress the dispenser cradle. The solenoid and linkage assembly will open the ice chute duct door to dispense the ice. If cubed ice is selected, a solenoid located behind the ice bucket will lift a rod along the side of the bucket. This rod pulls a flapper away from the cutter blades, allowing cubes to bypass the ice crusher. The dispenser duct door will remain open for approximately 3 seconds after dispensing to allow all ice to clear the chute.
The dispenser light LEDs will come on automatically when the dispenser cradle is pressed and will fade out 5 seconds after it is released.
Dispenser Lock
When the dispenser system is locked, no dispenser command will be accepted. This includes the dispenser cradle and will prevent accidental dispensing that may be caused by children or pets. If the touch screen, pad, or the cradle is depressed with the system locked, it will be acknowledged with three pulses of the LOCK LED accompanied by an audible tone.
To lock or unlock communication between the dispenser and main control board, press the LOCK pad and hold it for 3 seconds. The LOCK LED will flash while the LOCK pad is pressed. When the communication is locked, the LOCK LED will be illuminated.
On some models, the status of other functions selected prior to the initiation of the lock feature will be displayed. If the lock is engaged while a mode is active, the LED will remain on until that mode times out.
If the lock is engaged when the filter timer expires, the LED will come on but cannot be reset until the lock is turned off.
The lock feature will be restored in the event of a power disruption.
Liner Protection Mode
The dual evaporator model has separate liner protection modes for each section. The specific evaporator fan (freezer or fresh food) will start and run on high speed if the door has been open for 3 minutes.
This mode is controlled by 2 timers. Timer #1 monitors door-open time. A 3-minute door-open count begins when the door is opened. If 3 minutes elapse before the door is closed, the liner protection mode will become active. Once the door is closed, timer #1 resets and liner protection mode goes into standby. In standby, normal fan operation resumes and timer #2 begins a 3-minute door-closed count. If 3 minutes elapse without a door opening, liner protection mode will completely deactivate. If a door is opened within the timer #2 door-closed count, the remaining time in the door-closed count will be deducted from the timer #1 door-open count.

Door Closure Mechanism
The closure mechanism consists of a lever, attached with a spring to a hook in the base channel, which interacts with a cam mounted to the bottom of each door with two T-20 Torx screws. A pair of pliers can be used to remove the spring from the hook. The spring and lever can then be pulled out through the hole in the base channel.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator door.
1. Using a 7/16-in. wrench, turn the door adjusting screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.)
2. After one or two turns of the wrench, open
7/16Wrench-in.
and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

Door Handle Removal
Note: Each door handle is held to an upper and lower fastener and locked in position by a recessed tab. Each fastener is located behind the handle and attached to the door panel.
Using a flat blade screwdriver, press the tab on the top underside of the handle toward the front of the handle while sliding the handle up and off of the mounting fasteners.
Door Handle Installation
Install the handle to the handle mounting fasteners by aligning the slots with the handle mounting fasteners. Slide the handle down until it is firmly locked into position.
