Best Built In - Matches Other Stainless Appliances
on September 26, 2025
Posted by: Expensive Item In House
from River Forest Illinois
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Built-in works for my kitchen while other brands didn't offer the size seeded. Had an earlier version from 2007. The ice maker in the door takes some getting use to; the additional baking rack features is not necessary for me; enjoyed the larger refrigerator door storage however less flexibility with other door racking
I would recommend this to a friend!

Noisy!
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: el25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the refrigerator and it features. IT IS VERY NOISY! I even called a service person out to see if the noise was normal. The refrigerator growls at me at times. It apparently is how these refrigerators cools with out the banded freon. I am hoping it will last as long as its predecessor. It works fine. I am learning to live with the noise.
I would have appreciated a heads up. I am conerned that it is a lemon.

Icemaker issues
on October 13, 2025
Posted by: Rox10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Icemaker needs improvement. Ice becomes solid in certain parts of the bin and gets stuck in the dispenser. This is a replacement within the first year, the first one had ice freezing on the walls. The cooling is fine and it's very pretty but not sure about long term performance.

Early problem with Frozen water line
on October 14, 2025
Posted by: Cwl52
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have only had the new frig for a week so a little early to rate. But I would note that on day 3 the ice and water through the door quit working. Called Kitchaide who seemed to think it was a problem with water pressure since I filter water before and in the frig. It wasn’t. The water line had frozen and as I saw on youtube I raised the temp in frig and feeezer 2 degrees and waited 24 hours. The problem resolved and hopefully won’t return. We will see. But it is a nice looking frig otherwise and fit our opening perfectly

Looks Bigger Than It Is
on November 18, 2025
Posted by: Built In Refrigerator
from St Augustine, Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a beautiful appliance and it receives many compliments but I feel like it is smaller than the refrigerator I had in my condo. Wish it had a built in water pitcher like my prior fridge. Samsung products have been very reliable.

nice refrigerator but the shelves are chipped
on December 8, 2025
Posted by: BJAlba
from Aiken,SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago out of necessity. It was a very nice refrigerator, but all the shelves on the door have chips on them. And when they were replaced, the one that came were also chipped. They came packed very poorly with absolutely no insulation or protect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Okay but doesn't have as much room as anticipated
on January 11, 2026
Posted by: KAisaPITA
from Colorado
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When building our new house, we upgraded to this 42" refrigerator. Our previous refrigerator was smaller. Yet, this 42" refrigerator is laid out poorly. It's been a struggle to arrange the shelves in a way that I can maximize the space. The freezer depth is poor. On the plus side, the refrigerator is sufficiently cold.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great space, lighting, looks, ice and water
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: IdealTalkFridge
from Sierra Vista, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this a month now. Ice tray is large. Like the separate spaces for water and ice. I mostly use ice and my wife uses crushed. Facial recognition would be great future feature to be able to automatically provide me ice and my wife crushed ice. Twice now I noticed that the freezer compressor makes a bit of noise. I like the taller refrigerator and I love that you can put a gallon of milk on the door. The shorter depth of the refrigerator makes it easier to get items out.
I would recommend this to a friend!
