I installed my first built-in in 2008! Broke down last week and figured I had 18 good years so would just replace it! Always happy with KitchenAid appliances!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall very good, but three things need improvement: 1. Outside display show the set temperature of the two compartments, 24/7. How often do you ever change the set temp?! No need to display continuously. Would be MUCH better if it displayed the ACTUAL temp inside the compartments, so you could warned if there was a problem! 2. Compressor is noisy when running if the room is quiet. This unit replaced my 17 year old GE Monogram, and we never heard the compressor in the GE. 3. The water and ice actuators you press against to operate take a LOT of pressure to operate and are very particular where you actually press on them. Could work much better.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have had the 48 inch fridge for about 5 weeks. Wonderful is how I would describe it. The fridge looks magnificent in our kitchen. The features surprise us daily. The pre measured water dispenser provides 8, 16, and 24 oz setting at a simple touch The ice machine produces nice clear cubes and a tonne of them fit in the container ready to go for a party. The layout of the fridge and freezer is well thought out providing great sight lines to the food stashed away. The ability to set the temp in each of the fresh food drawers is great. The under shelf metal oven ready trays are a great addition along with the slide out food serving tray can go right on to the table with its wood trim
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned this just over a month. Have already had a service visit to repair ice maker chute door so that it closes completely. The freezer was not warming up as a result of the door being open. We do not care for the opaque insert inside the ice maker. Cannot see the ice level when the door is open. Also have moisture that has frozen between the two layers of material. The bin in our old model was clear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Do not purchase this. The freezer constantly frosts all your food. The water dispenser started leaking and the entire freezer door has to be replaced. That item is backordered and they have no estimation of when it will arrive. In addition, you can speak to a single person to schedule anything or find out the status... nobody answers the phone and nobody emails back. go with another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked great for a month. Started making a groaning noise and water dribbles out the ice dispenser. Then started making a trickling and hissing noise. A technician came out and he say's the latter is the defrost and normal. The former is the probably the ice maker (it would not reproduce for him). We need to ensure there is no ice in the shoot and to empty the ice container weekly so that there are no big blocks in it. We are trying to record the noise but it is 2-3 times a day for 20 seconds.
