  • Manual defrost
  • Adjustable thermostat
  • Interior light
  • Defrost drain
  • Storage basket

The GE FCM5SUWW is a current GE manual-defrost chest freezer. Manual-defrost chest freezers are the simplest GE refrigeration product — nearly every repair is the thermostat, start relay, or a compressor that has lost its charge.

GE upright (FUF) and chest (FCM) freezers are largely setpoint-controlled. Electronic uprights can show E7 (a button stuck more than 30 seconds), E8 (thermistor shorted), or E9 (thermistor open); chest and manual-defrost units carry no codes and are diagnosed by symptom — not freezing, frost buildup, running constantly, or a failed start relay, thermostat, or defrost part. See freezer repair and our freezer troubleshooting guides. Browse our GE repair guides and model directory, or visit geappliances.com for full specifications and model lookup.
