GE FCM5SUWW 5.0 cu. Ft. Chest Freezer - White
Buyer Reviews
We bought the FCM5SUWW based on a trip to a local store and located out when we unpackaged ours that GE has pulled a rapid one. The model in the shop had the very same model number but when you appear at the actual freezer name plate on the back it has an added letter in the model number. The model we bought is the FCM5SUCWW and the display was model FCM5SUBWW a prior revision with the very same package model quantity. GE has revised the model numbers and left the base order model number in the generic form so they can adjust production at any time. The distinction among the 'B' and the 'C' model revision is the smaller vertical divider that is applied to hold items from falling off the internal step above the compressor. This is listed in the parts diagram for previous models and was eliminated in the 'C' and newer revisions. We wish we had this specifics prior to placing it in service as we had a further choice but food was thawing so we decided to maintain it.
Right after initial startup we noted the lid seal is not the greatest and leaks air so it tends to make up frost rapidly about the leading couple inches of the freezer. Soon after many emails back and forth we found GE's buyer service has no clue and they lastly recommended a service contact be created. If they provided a improved magnetic seal like the upright freezers this would by no means happen and be a wonderful product. Consumer service recommended to considerably humidity and to high of room temperature but it is in a 70 degree basement with 46% humidity it need to have no issues whta so ever. We cannot wait until it definitely has some humidity in the spring or summer.
FYI - do not count on replacing any parts on this model as most of them exceed the initial expense of the unit. GE client service created light of this reality but even the single wearable item like the lid seal requires the entire lid be replaced as the seal is not availible for invest in seperately a $141 expense. We only paid $159 for the complete unit.
Final comment: at the finish of the day yes - it does keep frozen food frozen (quietly) and yes - it is a nice hunting, small sized product. But the lid seal is a real situation and parts are not an option due to excessive price. We only hope it will final a couple of years just before the compressor fails due to the lid seal not sealing very nicely. GE will need to at least present an updated replacement seal rather of having to order a total lid. We also wish they included the divider as earlier revisions did. Shame on you GE !
The freezer chest looks tiny and does not take a lot of space. It maintains temperature and is incredibly convenient to use.
It is outstanding for a household of 4-6 individuals. Fits all my Costco purchases, quick for youngsters to open and pull out the pizza.
I would only change one factor in this chest: I would make the lid "slow-close".
Overall it is a superb item for the price tag.
