What owners say
Owners say the refrigerator is roomy, keeps food cold, and is quiet, with a sleek finish that resists fingerprints. Some find the shelves easy to organize, while others say they are not adjustable. The ice maker can make too little ice or stop working, and some owners report that the dispenser lacks a light or leaks water. Some units stopped working, and repairs can be slow.
