I see two conflicting answers. Is this refrigerator frost free or not??

It isn't frost free. Mine gets a build up of frosty ice in a small area near the thermostat as well as inside the freezer. I defrost it every couple of months by turning it off, transferring everything to the big refrig/freezer and after 30 min or so, dislodging the ice build with the tool that's provided. It takes a couple of hours to get cold enough to reload but I like the design enough (separate freezer/veg drawer/interior light) that it's no big deal to defrost it six times a year.

According to the info at this link: "http://bustedrefrigerator.com/ge-refrigerator-not-cooling" - which is the advice I followed - the answer is Yes.

I know it is refrigerator safe but I have not placed mine in the freezer. I would assume that if you left the pop-top lid open, that it would freeze properly but I just haven't had a need for that type of situation. Sorry.

Some kind of plastic. I have two and the are both in freezers. They don't frost or crack

It needs to be kept dry. They are not encapsulated and are sensitive to water and high humidity. The refrigerator is likely to be too humid. There is cotton and a "desi pack" desiccant in the packaging to help prevent damage from humidity.

I THINK I DEFROSTED IT ONCE BUT IT WASN'T BAD. opps, not yelling. I like this fridge. We use it in an office in a gift shop.

Just insulation, no need for ice, refrigeration or freezing. I bought several for my restaurant and am going to pick up a few more. They really work well.

Hello, I own one of these and the drawers are not frosted, they are clear. You can still see what's in them. The drawers are very small (small enough for batteries, nails, ect.) the size of the item is also small. Since I have no clue about measurements I expected this item to fit my daughters toys in it, but it came down to not losing my tools anymore instead.

I'm actually pretty sure it is. I installed it for a client inside of a walk-in refrigerator about a year ago. So far no complaints. Although there are temperature changes and moisture inside sometimes. Just terminate everything properly and you should be good to go.

I believe so...as long as it's in a dry freezer...not one that has build up with frost inside it.

Quick answer: No.For mine: I have a screwdriver to *gently* chip away any build up frost in the freezer (top) part.For the refrigerator part (bottom): water beads up at the back of the refrigerator and turns hard. But the refrigerator turns off and the water softens and rolls to the bottom where it drains through a hole at the bottom. The freezer part (top) does not have a drain hole.In my opinion, it's nothing serious.

It's supposed to be. I talked to Hamilton Beach today and she said they can crack at extreme temperatures. I just used mine in the appliance and it cracked bad. I guess you shouldn't go from refrigerator to appliance without bringing it to room temperature gradually. I don't know. Maybe mine was a flawed pot. Good luck!

We have it on a frost free and it is just fine. It is very heavy duty. If you're handy and creative I'm sure you could figure something out for support, but if not, there is nothing built in.

It's not frostless, but it doesn't accumulate too much ice. I think it's good for the price.

This fridge I have is pretty new, so no problems yet, but as soon as the warranty expire (2 year warranty that you can buy for $9.99 if you want) I guess you can expect all kinds of problems as with any other appliance. For defrost maintenance I use not-abrasive/friendly tips that you can find everywhere online. Hope it helps, cheers.

It doesn't frost up at all, not sure if that's due to a frost-free feature. We recently bought a frost-free full size freezer, which seems to run constantly like this one.
