GE Unveils New Door-in Door Refrigerators
Households with children can be hectic, especially in the morning. Imagine if your kids had a
special place to store their lunches and snacks. A place they could access quickly and easily,
without having to rummage through the entire fridge. GE Appliances’ new door-in-door refrigerators
make it possible, with an easy-to-grab compartment for those popular food and beverage items.
The new design is like a refrigerator within a refrigerator. The exterior door space can be reserved
for those items you need to grab at a moment’s notice, while the interior space of the refrigerator
can hold the items you don’t need all the time, which changes the way people think about
refrigerators and how they use the space in them.
Easily Accessible Frequently Used Items
The outer door’s handle is designed to
work seamlessly into the full door system.
Being hidden behind the main handle on the
refrigerator gives the overall design a sleek
appearance. Once opened, owners can
find what they need at a glance within three
unique bins.
• Top bin is fixed in place.
• Middle bin rotates out so that even items
in the back of the bin are easy to access.
• Bottom bin comes out with the shell of the
door as it is opened. The robust and
strong hinge system helps provide full
access to the contents inside.
The new door-in-door refrigerators will be
available in GE® and GE Profile™ brands.
Finishes include new black stainless steel,
stainless steel and Slate. All are available in
July 2017.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick snack or
cool drink as you head out the door, the new
door-in-door refrigerators provide a smart
organization system that lets the whole family
easily access the items they want.
