Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

“I have had this for about two weeks. It is making a crackling noise. I have looked this up and everything I read says it is normal. Doesn't seem normal to me. I am really concerned. I would like my frig to be quite. Kind of disappointed. Otherwise the look, size and design, I love.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
What do owners like most about this refrigerator?Based on 9 owner mentions
Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, French-door design, and convenient features like the internal water dispenser and automatic ice maker. Many highlight the clean aesthetic, smooth drawer operation, and that it fits well as a counter-depth model in kitchens with space constraints. Several long-term owners report being so satisfied they've repurchased the same model multiple times.
Is this refrigerator quiet?Based on 2 owner mentions
Most owners report the refrigerator operates quietly. One reviewer specifically noted it is "very quiet" after one month of use. However, a few owners have reported crackling or unusual noises, which they found concerning, though some research suggested such sounds may be normal for the model.
What are the dimensions and capacity of this model?Based on 3 owner mentions
This French-door refrigerator has a capacity of 22 cubic feet, is 36 inches wide, 69 inches tall, and 30 inches deep. It is designed as a counter-depth model, which means it sits closer to the cabinet line than standard-depth refrigerators, though some owners note it may still protrude slightly depending on cabinet configuration.
Are there any recurring design or functionality issues?Based on 16 owner mentions
Several owners report recurring issues with door alignment and closing: the freezer door sometimes opens at an angle when pulled, the left door can be difficult to close or requires adjustment, and the right door may pop open slightly when the left door closes. Additionally, multiple reviewers note a 3-inch gap behind the shelves that allows items to fall through, which the manufacturer states is by design for air circulation. Some also report frost buildup in the freezer and occasional ice-maker malfunctions.
What should I know about the stainless steel finish?Based on 2 owner mentions
The stainless steel exterior shows fingerprints easily and can scratch with normal use, so owners should be prepared to clean it frequently and handle it carefully. Some owners were disappointed to discover the finish was more fingerprint-prone than expected.
How reliable is this refrigerator long-term?Based on 8 owner mentions
Reliability varies significantly. Some owners report 6+ years of trouble-free operation or have repurchased the model due to satisfaction. However, others have experienced compressor failures, freon leaks requiring repeated service, ice-maker failures, and internal water leaks within the first 1–2 years. A few owners reported the unit stopped working within 40 days to one year, and warranty service and repair access have been problematic for some, particularly in rural areas.
How is customer service and warranty support?Based on 8 owner mentions
Customer service experiences are mixed and often frustrating. Multiple owners report difficulty reaching support, long hold times (over an hour), slow response to warranty claims, and difficulty scheduling repairs. Some report being told issues are "by design" with no solution offered. In rural areas, repair service may be unavailable, and owners are directed to find their own technician. One owner reported waiting weeks for a quality-control issue to be addressed.
Fit & facts
- 22 cu. ft. of usable storage — enough room for the average household weekly grocery run.

- Great but freezer door
I bought about 3 years ago. Love it so far but don’t like how the freezer door opens when pulling open from left side It pulls
Ps104Mar 24, 2026 - KITCHEN AID REFRIG
AFTER 1 MONTH- NO ISSUES. REFRIG IS VERY QUIET, MAKES GREAT CRESCENT ICE, INTERNAL WATER IS COLD. THERE IS A GAP IN BACK OF SHELVES, BUT I PUT SMALL ITEMS IN DOOR TRAYS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONVENIENT TO HAVE WATER DISPENSER ON RIGHT SIDE AS BOTH DOORS NEED TO BE OPEN TO ACCESS IT. OTHERWISE, THE FRIG IS PERFORMING FLAWLESS.
CASA BLANCAMar 4, 2026 - Love the French doors!
So glad to find this fridge. Just what I was looking for. Totally satisfied!
PS63Mar 1, 2026 - Great everyday fridge
I love the look on the exterior. It has a very clean design and looks very sharp. I will say the exterior finish can scratch so be careful. The interior is well lit and spacious. I wish there was a way to chose a different type of ice. The scoop that it comes with is very sturdy and the tray has a really nice feature to be able to pull out or stay in when you open the drawer. We are very happy with all of the features. It was easy to install and has been a great addition to the kitchen.
Kb22ohioFeb 19, 2026 - Great improvements over earlier model.
So happy you still make panel ready refrigerators.love the improved one handed water dispenser inside. The freezer seems a bit more cramped than prior models. Like the rubber mats in door shelves. Still wish there were a way to close either door first but appreciate the alarm when the door is ajar.
BethsopchoppyJan 1, 2026 - MOSTLY GOOD
I have had this for about two weeks. It is making a crackling noise. I have looked this up and everything I read says it is normal. Doesn't seem normal to me. I am really concerned. I would like my frig to be quite. Kind of disappointed. Otherwise the look, size and design, I love.
moody 35179Dec 24, 2025 - First rate 2nd fridge
We bought this for our lower level bar area. It fit perfectly and looks great. Use it to keep some frozen items and mainly beverages. Lots of space-really prefer it to the side by side we had before.
CseoDec 11, 2025 - Beautiful Refrigerator
Only been using for a month, but it is very nice. Be prepared if you order a "counter depth" and you previously had a standard depth, it's quite an adjustment, I have my old fridge outside and need it for the overflow. Also the stainless does show fingerprints
DianeODec 8, 2025 - Love my new Kitchen Aid refrigerator
I bought this to replace a very similar 20 yr old fridge . I could not be happier ! The smoothness of the drawers , the new ice container, the three tier freezer and updated filter water dispenser. All are great upgrades from previous model.
Ging3Dec 6, 2025 - Love… but
This is our third KA fridge. We love the brand. We cycle from the house to the garage and now on our third kitchen refrigerator. Love the fridge but not sure if it needs to be better aligned. The door (when has products on shelves of door slams shut. Our last one u would gently push and it would easily close. This one slams. So thinking maybe just an adjustment is needed. And with bottom freezer door, if you don’t pull out from the exact center it appears to seem off track even if it’s really not. Overall - great product and love! Just have to figure out the doors.
Charlotte 4Nov 25, 2025 - Great features!
I bought this a month ago and so far I love it. The refrigerator has great space. The inside water dispenser comes out strong. The automatic ice maker in freezer drawer makes a lot of ice. The door shelves are a great size so they fit a lot.
TreeshNov 12, 2025 - Quality - one a few available
The interior drawers, shelves and hardware are very rugged compared to the newer models
