Freezes the food on the top two shelves - temp set at recommended
on April 26, 2026
Posted by: Ldrickert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were excited to buy this SbS Refrigerator after our previous Frigidaire stopped working after 10 years. Purchase date 5/17/2025 At first we were skeptical about the tiny ice cube maker to keep us in ice cubes, however after a week we knew it would keep up with our demand.
The downside - the air filter that is along the top shelf down the middle. You canNOT have anything on this shelf or it will freeze everything. After several months of moving items to the far outside of the top shelf and keeping nothing on the top shelf or it will freeze, we then this morning found the two cartons of eggs we had on the lower shelf were all frozen solid. We double checked that the temperature was set to recommended - yes it was.
Now we have two shelves in this refrigerator we cannot have food set.
We've played with the temperature setting for several months trying to find if we can keep food at the approximate ideal temp of 33 to 40 degrees. While the refrigerator can keep this setting - it continues to freeze items along the center wall next to the freezer frozen.
I'm greatly disappointed. While I'm thinking this is not strictly a brand name issue - as almost all appliances appear to look the same in design and style, I am disappointed in this refrigerator / freezer side by side.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hard to review such a major appliance in such a short time of purchasing but so far so good. We bought the same dimensions as the last ref/freezer but the storage capacity seems a little smaller. Odd the water dispenser is in the door but I guess when figuring the energy efficiency you took into account the door opening. Lastly it came with no manual but having a hard time finding it online

Runs almost constantly. Makes loud noises a lot. Not like other brands of new refrigerators. Have contacted to have a service person come evaluate. Regretting purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really nice side-by-side. The design is sleek and neat and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The factory settings are perfect so I really don’t need to do anything. But if I do, they have made everything simple. I’m glad I made this decision and I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Then real test is down the road. Will this refrigerator last as long and not need frequent service like the fridges built 50 years ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it's a nice fridge. So far I haven't had any issues with this one cooling- like was discovered with the first one I bought before it left the store- and I'm praying it stays that way! A little smaller inside than I had expected (especially the freezer door bins) but it's been able to hold most of my stuff without any issues. I will say the shelves and drawers are pretty cheaply made and the shelving glass isn't cut quite to the right size so it wobbles a little bit, but that hasn't impacted my ability to use it. I'm pleased with it!
