I have last year's version of this refrigerator, purchased in January 2015. Only 19 months old, and it died, needing three major parts which still have not arrived in almost two weeks. Not a good experience, and I would not purchase Kitchen Aid again.
I have had this refridgerator for about 1 1/2 years and it is the worst one I have ever had. Cheaply made plastic parts!-drawer fronts break off easily, ice maker is undependable, I take good care of my appliances and have never had these issues with any previous one. Kitchenaid used to be a high end brand, if this is representative of their quality, I will not be patronizing them again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have had this for just over 1-1/2 years. The first one was broken when it was delivered. The second one has seen serviced 6 times so far. Currently the freezer is not working at all due to a leak in the sealed system. We haven't had a working freezer/ice maker in almost two months. And the repair company Kitchenaid has assigned is less than responsive. Again, worst appliance I have ever purchased and I will never purchase Kitchenaid again

Dear No freezer in Hawaii:
Thank you for contacting KitchenAid regarding your appliance concern. We are happy to look into your concerns but we will need your model and serial number, your address, your user ID, your Review ID Number 82327657, and date of purchase emailed to NAR_CUSTOMER_SOLUTIONS@KITCHENAID.COM.
After 3 years and 4 months the unit stopped cooling due to a "bad sealed system," a leak in the connecting tubing according to the KitchenAid-authorized repairman. KitchenAid has in fact passed off the problem to an unresponsive repair service more interested in selling a new service plan than fixing the problem. We will be 1 to 2 weeks without refrigeration. We are disappointed in the quality and the service.
We have had unit 2 years. Ice maker did not work on arrival, changed it out and working before we moved into home. Stopped working 6 mos ago, I researched on line and cleaned electronic eye controllers out. Started up that nght. Now not working again have cleaned it 3x. Notice several reviews with poor ice maker. Have another technician coming out next week to look at
I bought this refrigerator along with a Kitchen Aid double oven, gas range, and dishwasher. We needed to purchase the counter depth size because of the configuration of our kitchen. After just 3 years - our ice maker stopped making ice....that is a bad sign b/c that meant that our freezer and refrigerator was not cooling properly. We have been without a properly working refrigerator and freezer for over a month - last week the refrigerator and freezer was "repaired"....actually they took the whole thing apart and changed the evaporator and compressor.....still not working - our freezer is currently warmer than our home. We have lost a fridge and freezer full of food TWICE - very unhappy - do your research before you invest.......
