MODEL OVERVIEW
About this model: GE PFE28KELDS
PFE28KELDS Style B AutoFill Not Found and Black Slate model facts.
Place this Black Slate model in Style B
PFE28KELDS is the Fingerprint Resistant Black Slate French-door refrigerator with 27.70 cubic feet of total volume, including a 9.17-cubic-foot freezer. The cabinet is 35.75 inches wide. Its exact GE page lists Hands-Free AutoFill in the dispenser specification. In the linked owner's manual, PFE28K appears under the Style B AutoFill controls on page nine; that connects the exact product feature to the right panel. The same PDF also draws a Style A Single Serve brewer, which this KELDS should not be treated as having. Look at the whole model suffix when checking capacity, finish or a control tip. The AutoFill button, container sensors and display messages are relevant to this configuration.
Resolve the literal Not Found message
The rendered AutoFill page states that if the display gives Not Found, try another container. AutoFill senses container height so it can dispense without holding the paddle. The manual recommends a fairly uniform vessel within its stated height and width range; irregular rims or a container that the sensors cannot see may cause trouble. Keep the two sensors clean with a damp cloth and do not spray liquid directly onto them. The troubleshooting page separately labels AUTO FILL under fill/no fill and points an error-message case back to the sensor instructions. Check placement and shape first, then clean the sensor area and retry. This is an actual dispenser message on the applicable PFE28K panel, not a generic door alarm or a made-up numeric error.
Distinguish water care from cold-storage features
PFE28KELDS also has a Water Filter Indicator Light and a Door Alarm according to its exact page. The owner's manual locates the water cartridge near the top of the left fresh-food wall. A filter reminder calls for checking cartridge condition and proper installation, whereas Not Found refers to container recognition at the dispenser. The refrigerator uses TwinChill evaporators and a Quick Space shelf for storage arrangements; those features do not change the AutoFill diagnostic. Keep the freezer basket and fresh-food shelves accessible rather than overfilling the door area. If water does not dispense even with a suitable container, check the water supply and filter status separately from the sensor message. Identifying the part named by each signal avoids unnecessary temperature changes.
Check options that vary across PFE28 editions
This Black Slate PFE28KELDS offers a second icemaker option. That wording indicates an option, so do not presume another icemaker is installed in every unit. The exact WiFi field likewise says an optional PBX23W00Y1 module is required. Its Style B controls show the set temperature, while AutoFill uses sensors at the dispenser; the two displays describe different functions. If a glass is not found, reconnecting an absent network module or altering the freezer set point will not make its rim easier to detect. Reposition the cup, try a more regular shape and wipe the sensors as the rendered page directs. The specific 27.70-cubic-foot, Black Slate listing is the source for model identity; family-wide instructions supply the steps only where the panel agrees.
