Broken ice maker/ not cooling
on September 17, 2025
Posted by: Sball
We love the look of this refrigerator however the performance has been terrible. From the first year of purchase ,the ice maker has broken at least 5 times. When the ice maker breaks so does the refrigerator. Although service has been exceptional it’s not always quick (4-5 days) resulting in multiple scrambles to try and place food in other areas to save what we have. For the price of the refrigerator I have a higher expectation on the performance and have been very dissatisfied.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice Fridge
on August 19, 2025

So far, i am very pleased with the refrigerator/freezer. Great product with plenty of efficient space. The drawers are nice as they preserve food a bit longer. I do wish the ice maker was lower in the freezer( it’s at the top). Overall- very satisfied.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad Design
on August 3, 2025
Posted by: Santajoe
from Los Angeles
Shelving edges are extremely sharp.
Ice bin allows ice to fall through "holes".
Both design fault/bad craftsmanship are unacceptable of this supposedly high end product.
I'm extremely disappointed about these "features".

Nice unit except for ice maker
on December 22, 2024
Posted by: Been around for a while
I agree with prior reviews about the ice maker. This is a solid appliance that generally works well, but the ice maker is in a bad location. It is difficult to get to the ice, and there is no way to get the ice unless you slide out the collection drawer. The ice tends to clump into one solid mass. Otherwise, it is a really good product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far very happy with our new Refrig.
on November 8, 2024
Posted by: Fox Run
So far we're very happy, for week one. We hsd to replace our 18 year old GE Monogram Refrig with this one. Both are 42" Side By Side Built-in models. Pleasantly surprised how much bigger the interior space feels larger than the older refrig. The interior wall of the refrig is flatter than our older model that had a bump out for the lighting. Plus the new model is far brighter, and it appears much easier to see items throughout. Appears more organized and far easier to access.
