Refrigerator question.

I would guess it's a 16CF because my GE is a 17 and the only number in its model # is 17.

Clue, tbx 16

I agree BUT the contents did a pretty good job of filling my new 22.7 CF box. and it is a decent sized box. Maybe they measured differently back in the old days?? More honestly??? I am still looking for someone with real spec.

We replaced a 17 with a 19 a few years ago. And a few months later we bought a mini-frig for all the beverages that no longer fit in the 'bigger' frig. I don't know if they are measuring differently, or just arranging things differently. I know the shelves in the door are deeper- which steals room from the box.

Click click, here ya go,

Why would you care exactly how big it is to be able to sell or donate an old fridge? For example, just put an ad on craigslist with a picture of it and the model number and say it's believed to be 16 CF. For the record, I'm placing my bets with those that say it is 16 CF.

Damn, another perfectly good thread ruined by facts. You sure spoiled this one.

I think I may do just that, thanks

THANK YOU!! Your reply is why I asked:-)) Here is what I have:

We replaced a 17 with a 17 and discovered that the freezer to refrigerator compartment ratio was VASTLY different. I no longer have the old one to measure, but based on the same old stuff we always buy, the new freezer is smaller by at least a quarter and maybe even a third. In fact, I am going to measure it to see whether that's true inside space or based on the outside dimensions of the box. (-: It was a real disappointment and a lesson in comparison shopping. I was obsessed with energy ratings and somehow didn't think that 17 CUFt could mean very different things. I even went to see the unit instead of buying it cheaper via the net. So much for my ability to estimate three-dimensional space.
