Frigidaire Gallery 22.1 personal product review 2024!

[@RichardServello]

I just ordered this today. Thank you for an excellent video. Your freezer organization is on point and got me excited...LOL

[@trubmkr]

Hey anything to help out. It’s still working great so far so good and even though my my freezer is set to zero degrees my mini thermometer that I put in the freezer say -2 so that’s great.

[@RichardServello]

@@trubmkr just got delivered yesterday and it’s awesome! Love the deep freeze feature to get new stuff to temp. There’s a ton of room and somehow the water dispenser can fill a measuring cup without splashing!

[@LaurenSaar-om6fe]

Just looked at this fridge today. Do you still love it?

[@Shah_creates]

Btw, this model is actually 22.5 cu ft. The one with the external water/ice dispenser is called GRMC2273CF and is one cu ft less at 21.5 according to their website.

[@trubmkr]

Thanks you are correct it is the 22.1 cf model. I didn’t catch my error until after I posted😢

[@jjmill5209]

Yeah I have the 21.5 and was trying to afku the right shelf to make it higher so I can fit tall things on bottom but it won't stay up, very annoying, not liking putting them on the shelf the way it came and sliding the top one back to accommodate, some things I love about and some I absolutely hate like that

[@Shah_creates]

Exactly what we needed to know… what’s the point of professional reviews that don’t feature actual food that people use? THANK YOU

[@brooklynknightss]

I have the same refrigerator for 6 months now, the standard depth. I totally love this refrigerator! Love that the ice iis in the freezer, less problems that way and the water dispenser is in the side of the door. Like the pull out draw. I highly recommend this !!

[@trubmkr]

Yes so far it’s going great for me too. Everything is functioning the way it should and cross my fingers it stays that way for years to come.

[@brooklynknightss]

@trubmkr yes, its amazing that refrigerators dont last like they use to! My last GE ProFile last about 12 years... crazy. I hear samsung LG are no good! I have three Frigidaires and no problems! Cant have ice makers in the refrigerator!!

[@trubmkr]

Oh wow that’s awesome, yeah they don’t last like you said. My previous was a GE as well and it lasted 14 years until it retired!

[@katiemechtly6843]

how did you get your ice maker to make ice faster? I am not sure why but mine only drops like 20 cubes every 3 hours I think. It is so slow and barely making any

[@brooklynknightss]

​@katiemechtly6843 I always move my ice up from the back to the front... so the sensor see as empty or less full

[@rachelg5986]

Your fridge is so well organized. I love that the middle drawer can be an added freezer or fridge space. Those containers in the freezer are those glass or plastic. I need multiple of that size too. The ice maker in the freezer is so much better than the ones in fridge. I’ve researched that and true. Fridge ice makers can cause problems with the ice maker. I had one it was not good. I wont ever get another. The water dispenser inside is awesome. I dont need the door dispensers anymore ever.

[@trubmkr]

Yes the middle drawer can go from freezer to fridge temps and the containers are plastic which I actually bought some time ago at the 99 store

[@tamarapickens1988]

Just bought this today, but I got the one with the water and ice dispenser on the outside of the door cause my husband likes that better, lol. Thanks for sharing, your review helped us a lot!

[@trubmkr]

You’re welcome anything to help out with real life experiences. I will be sharing my 6 month experiences soon. Also I hope you enjoy yours and all goes well!

[@jasmini42]

Thanks so much for this. Exactly what I wanted to know.

[@trubmkr]

You're welcome!

[@solidstream13]

Interesting. My local stores have the same counter depth unit with the 2 drawers, however the ice-maker is in the refrigerator with a door dispenser. I like this more

[@trubmkr]

Yes my previous side by side door had the door water and ice and this time wanted to switch it up to the hidden water and ice and I like the clean look of the exterior without having to constantly wipe down the dust and water drippings from the exterior dispenser.

[@mikeyhikes]

Hey there. Thank you for this review. I really appreciate the things you covered (and how organized you are!). Just saw you have a 6 month review! Gonna check it out!

[@gracecampos5722]

This is the perfect review with food! Thank you!

[@trubmkr]

You’re welcome

[@mailawson6701]

Wow..your refrigerator is so organized. I like the way you review and I will order one. I don’t have waterline to connect to refrigerator. Is there any ways to put water manually for ice making? Thank you so much.

[@trubmkr]

I can help with that. I didn’t have a line for my fridge either so I bought a kit which I’ve installed a few years ago and ran it from the cold water line under the kitchen sink to the back of the fridge. Took a little creativity running the line behind the oven and through the wall of my water heater closet to get to the fridge but the water line is very long so it worked out. Here’s an example of a kit to buy just make sure you know your water pipe size to make sure everything fits before ordering. This is an Amazon link to a complete kit for the fridge water line a.co/d/cSajcTP

[@S5King7]

Really good review. I was looking at this one, but went with a Kitchenaid. Fingers crossed that it fits in my space, definitely cutting it close. Also, nice way to keep the fridge stocked. Seems like you know how to live well! I'm going to have to try lobster tails!

[@trubmkr]

Yeah kitchenaid is a great brand from what I hear and they look really nice

[@masterpieceboo449]

How do I set the Flex drawer temperature? At this point any temp. I press the temp indicators but they will not set at any temp.

[@masterpieceboo449]

The temperature panel continuously blinks.

[@trubmkr]

Hold the lock indicator button for about 5 seconds to disable the lock then you change the drawer temp. Same method for the fridge control as well

[@l.c.boogie1219]

My wife and I purchased this Fridge with the Water Dispenser on the outside, standard depth size.

[@trubmkr]

It’s an awesome fridge and I will be doing an update on my experience soon but so far all good

[@l.c.boogie1219]

@@trubmkr Yeah we saw the reviews on this Fridge which is why we went to go and look at it. I await your video update of your further review experience when you upload it.

[@l.c.boogie1219]

Update: Our Fridge just came. So far so good. We are still waiting for the fridge to cool down to optimal temperature. How long did it take for your fridge to get to optimal temperature, including the freezer?

[@trubmkr]

@@l.c.boogie1219 hey that’s awesome. It took mine about 2 hours to get to the right temp because I was going in and out of it arranging food and filling it and I was also being nosey peeping in like a kid in a candy store. The freezer started making ice in about 5 hrs

[@l.c.boogie1219]

@@trubmkr yeah our fridge was at optimal temperature within a few hours. The freezer is now up and running and ice maker is working nicely. We are happy with the Fridge.

[@TheLagitKit]

Just bought this exact model today. Ships in a couple weeks. Any updates 6 months in? Hoping all is still working well! Refrigerator shopping is hard these days. Countless stories of failing refrigerators across all brands and models..

[@trubmkr]

@@TheLagitKit yes I’m actually ready to give my update this weekend

[@biggib118]

Omg!!!! We’re getting the same frig!!! 😂😂😂

[@Boom1shakalaka]

I'm considering buying this same one. Curious though why the doors are facing your oven? That looks like a major conflict. I would move the entire fridge away from the stove.

[@trubmkr]

Well it’s due to my kitchen size in my apartment the reason they are near each other. As you can see the door next to it is to another room but opposite of the fridge are cabinets and this is the fridge space. I could have gotten a smaller width fridge like my previous which was 30” but wanted this one so made it work for my personal preference. If you look at the bottom of the left door there is a small black makeshift cushioned bumper that I taped on so I wouldn’t damage the door from the oven burner knob. You have to do what works for you and adapt, just a part of life.

[@TheTheamaj]

Nice. I'm looking to purchase this model soon. How are the fruits and vegetables in crisper bins freshness lasting compared to your old fridge? Thanks for sharing 😊

[@trubmkr]

Thanks for asking, compared to my old fridge my fruits and vegetables do last a little longer but I had issues with my previous fridge constantly changing temperatures so it wouldn’t be the best comparison. Nevertheless now they last between 10 days and 3 weeks depending on how they are stored in the fridge especially for leafy veggies with are delicate as you know. So I tested the leafy veggies in a sealed container and some just in the drawer to see how they would age. I have an update coming soon for my 6 month experience in July

[@ConcreteRosee1]

How do you turn off ice maker keeps making noise 😮

[@trubmkr]

When you open the bottom freezer door you will look above where the ice drops into the tray and see a green light button. Press it to turn the light off. That’s the ice maker power button

[@kellylobresco6268]

I cant find any videos or documentation on how the doors swing open as far as if they stick out when open 90 degrees or if they truly open flush with the fridge itself? The fridge we wanted to go in our 37 inch space ended up being 42 with both doors open 90 degrees and our left door will be up against a wall.

[@trubmkr]

I don’t know where to find that documentation but I do know that my model opens at 105 degrees

[@AlexRodriguez-np4xx]

How much was it ? It on sale at Lows for $1899.

[@trubmkr]

Yeah that’s reasonable when I bought mine it was $1999 at bestbuy

[@dmiolesh]

Nice, just got the 3 door model of this

[@trubmkr]

Oh yes that was my initial choice which is also a nice one. I keep going to it like I was a kid with a new toy!

[@mandysmith2927]

We're having ours delivered in a week This is a wonderful review- Thsnk you so much!🤗

[@trubmkr]

@@mandysmith2927 glad to help any way I can

[@melissarappaport3378]

I just bought one without the ice maker. I was curious about the bin that holds your butter. Did that come with this model? I just bought the same model yesterday and afterwards found and I watched your video on you tube. After seeing your very good and detailed video I called the salesman who sold me the model and asked how many door bin/shelves come with the model. And I asked specifically about the butter holder which I think has a cover if I'm not mistaken. He said if it isn't there I'm to call the manufacturer with the serial number and ask for one and I should not have to pay for it. I'm confused it. Does a butter bin that is on your door come with this model or is he avoiding answering me? Please answer. Also I have a 26'' opening at my kitchen door will this allow the delivery guys to get this model into the kitchen without having to remove the door first? I know the unit comes with the door, draw, and handles removed and will be put on once it's installed. Thank you Mr. Maker by the way where did you get your frozen food containers I love them and the way you have organized your fridge. You could give lessons! :)

[@ryangendreau3186]

I bought this fridge, wondering how high off the ground I should install the in wall, water shut off valve for this model ?

[@trubmkr]

Normally about 48” is what I usually hear

[@ryangendreau3186]

@@trubmkr is the ice maker hookup on the bottom of this fridge ?

[@trubmkr]

No, there’s only one water line which flows to the water dispenser and the ice dispenser. My water line comes directly from the cold water line from under the kitchen sink. I don’t use a separate water hook up in the wall.

[@jjmill5209]

Which way does the frigging air filter go, says carbon side out but which side is that the gray or the black?

[@trubmkr]

No problem, they gray side faces the back of the fridge away from you

[@jjmill5209]

@@trubmkr thank you, that's the way I did it but could not find any info on that anywhere online, you would think they could put this side out or something on it

[@jjmill5209]

Worst thing is the freezer door hits your foot, way too low, WTF!! 🤬

[@trubmkr]

Oh that sounds horrible, mine is raised so I’ve never experienced that
