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.

Can the door hinge be reversed for left-hand opening?Based on 2 owner mentions

Yes. Multiple reviewers specifically mention they were able to order or receive the refrigerator with a left-hand door hinge, which was important for their kitchen layout. This flexibility is appreciated by owners who need the door to open from the left side.

How spacious is the refrigerator and freezer interior?Based on 6 owner mentions

Reviewers consistently praise the spacious layout and generous capacity. The refrigerator section is notably large with flexible shelving, and the freezer offers ample room for frozen items. The 22.1 cubic feet capacity accommodates food storage for families and handles holiday entertaining well.

Does this refrigerator fit in smaller kitchen spaces?Based on 3 owner mentions

Yes. The 33-inch width makes it suitable for kitchens with space constraints. Multiple reviewers specifically sought this width and found it to be the right fit for their homes, and one owner noted it replaced an older model in the same space successfully.

What do owners like about the single-door design?Based on 4 owner mentions

Reviewers appreciate the ergonomics and ease of use compared to side-by-side models. The single door swings smoothly, is easy to operate, and many owners prefer it because they don't have to open both sides to access what they need. The design also looks sleek and modern.

Are there concerns about the drawer quality and operation?Based on 10 owner mentions

Multiple reviewers report that the produce and deli drawers are difficult to open and close, with some requiring two hands or getting stuck. Several owners describe the drawers as cheaply made, poorly designed with plastic slides that bind, and note they wobble in their tracks. Some have found that adding paraffin wax improves operation, though this is not an ideal solution.

Is this refrigerator quiet?Based on 8 owner mentions

Opinions vary. Some owners report quiet operation and appreciate the low noise level. However, several reviewers note the unit is noisier than expected, with complaints about high-pitched condenser noise, clicking sounds, and compressor running frequently. One owner was told the noise level is normal despite being louder than their previous refrigerator.

Does the refrigerator maintain consistent temperature?Based on 5 owner mentions

Most reviewers report that the unit keeps food at the proper temperature and maintains freshness well. Owners note it holds steady temperatures and keeps everything cold as expected. One reviewer mentioned temperature control options are limited, ranging from too cold to too warm.

What is the appearance and finish like?Based on 6 owner mentions

Owners consistently praise the stainless steel finish and modern, attractive design. The refrigerator looks elegant and professional in the kitchen. However, one reviewer reported that the stainless steel is not true stainless and can rust in scratched areas, so durability of the finish may vary.

  • Great fridge

    We bought this refrigerator despite some of the negative reviews of the drawers not sliding easily. It’s true they do not slide easily but if you add a little paraffin wax they work perfectly. The first time that we have had KitchenAid appliances and we’re super happy. The only…

  • Excellent choice for my ktichen

    I got this fridge to match my new KitchenAid dishwasher, and to replace a beat-up old Whirlpool. I feel like it's made my kitchen far more stylish and open looking. I love the freezer on the bottom placement. It creates so much space in the fridge, and raises it to easy-reaching…
