27 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator With Smooth Touch Ice Dispenser

This side-by-side model offers 27 cubic feet of capacity and is consistently praised by owners for its spacious layout on both the refrigerator and freezer sides. Many reviewers note it holds significantly more food than their previous models and makes it easier to organize and find items, despite having similar exterior dimensions to smaller units.

Owners consistently praise the modern, sleek stainless steel design and elegant appearance of this refrigerator. The side-by-side configuration with pocket handles and improved door design is noted as a significant upgrade from older models, and the fingerprint-resistant finish is easy to maintain with a microfiber cloth.

The ice maker performance is mixed. Many owners report it works great and produces both cubes and crushed ice reliably, with some praising it as a best feature. However, a significant number of reviewers report problems including slow ice production, jamming, and complete failure within 1–2 years, requiring regular maintenance or replacement of the ice bucket and auger.

The water dispenser is generally easy to use and dispenses smoothly, though some owners note the water does not get very cold when dispensed directly from the dispenser. A few reviewers have reported cloudy water or bad taste issues that persisted even after replacing the filter and supply line, suggesting potential water quality concerns in some units.

Some owners report that opening one door can cause the other door to open due to pressure, which is a recurring design issue. Additionally, a few reviewers have noted that the door heater seal becomes extremely hot to the touch, which they were told is normal but found concerning and unusual compared to other refrigerators.

The refrigerator side has fixed, non-adjustable shelves, which some owners find limiting when storing taller bottles or items that don't fit between shelf heights. The freezer side offers more flexibility. This is a minor complaint from a few reviewers but worth considering if you have specific storage needs.

Reliability is inconsistent. Many owners report excellent performance over months to years with no issues, while others experience significant failures within 1–2 years, including ice maker failure, compressor problems, control board failures, and complete unit shutdown. Some owners have had to replace motherboards or deal with warranty disputes, so long-term durability appears to vary by unit.

This side-by-side refrigerator measures 37 inches wide, 74 inches tall, and 34 inches deep. Most owners find it fits well in standard kitchen spaces and note that despite its size, the interior layout is efficient and provides more usable room than expected.
