LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - Home chefs, "foodies" and anyone who wakes up early to scour farmers' markets for the freshest heirloom vegetables will appreciate the latest enhancements from GE Profile™ refrigeration. Designed with a remarkably large fresh-food compartment above the freezer, the newest refrigerators offer a stunning new interior appearance, as well as a host of new features including a door water dispenser.

These 36-inch refrigerators are available now

Now people who prefer the convenience and fresh-food capacity of the bottom-freezer models can choose an exterior water dispenser that provides an entire year of filtered water before changing the filter. Providing chilled, fresh-tasting water expediently from the door, the dispenser includes a 750-gallon GE water filter that removes impurities for cleaner flavor that encourages consumers to drink their healthy eight glasses of water per day. The dispenser is color-matched to the rest of the refrigerator for sleek elegance. An indicator light reminds consumers when to change the dispenser's filter.

After the filter is replaced, the consumer simply uses the reset button to reactivate the reminder light. The sleek compact filter design takes up very little space inside the unit, leaving more room for food storage. The refrigerator's actual internal temperature is also displayed and can be controlled on the dispenser.

Inside the refrigerator door, a larger, full-width deli drawer protects fresh food, providing additional storage area in an easily accessible, temperature-controlled environment that controls air flow with the simple touch of a sliding bar. That drawer is part of the remarkable new appearance of the refrigerator's interior, with its sparkling clear bins and lustrous silver accents that will appeal to lovers of fine food and design. A convenient rack for storing cans of juice and soda, as well as a condiment bin, will help keep the refrigerator's contents organized.

These 36-inch refrigerators are available now, offering a full spectrum of choices. Consumers can select from free-standing designs; counter-depth models that meld into their décor with the option of custom panels; the graceful French-door design with or without a water dispenser; and handsome full-door units, Finishes include chic stainless steel and popular black, white and bisque. Their estimated retail price ranges from $1649--$2599.
