What owners say

Owners say the refrigerator has plenty of room, with adjustable shelves and a large freezer, and that it keeps food cold. They also like the multiple ice options and easy-to-use controls. Some report that the ice maker or freezer stopped working, and some say cooling stopped; repairs can be costly or slow.
