Best built-in fridge ever!

The first reviewer who wrote about the strange sounds probably didn't read the owner's manual. Since this model has water/ice/crushed ice through the door, it does make sounds that a fridge without a water dispenser wouldn't make. In the owner's manual there is a very detailed list of all the sounds the unit makes from time to time as it operates. Even though you will occasionally hear ice dropping into the bin, or the door to the ice dispenser opening and closing when you use it this is overall the quietest running fridge I've owned. The actual compressor that every fridge has is very quiet, and so is the air circulation fan (which older basic units don't even have).
The best things about the Frigidaire counter-depth models, besides the fact that Frigidaire was the first company to make a counter-depth fridge, is the on-the-door digital panel where you can set the freezer and fridge temperatures separately, and by one degree at a time. Not the usual old "1 - 9" dial inside the fridge, which set both freezer and refrigerator sections to the same setting. I bought a fridge thermometer to confirm that a setting of 36 degrees on the fridge's digital panel was indeed a 36 degree temp inside the fridge. Same for the zero degree setting on the freezer side. The spill-proof shelves are great because they are more supportive than the typical wire shelves, and the top two pull out. There are 2 bins for fruits and veggies and one for meat/deli/cheese. All bins are see-though. I never had a fridge with see-through bins before (they were always white). You can easily see what's in them just by opening the door to the fridge. Smart design. The door of the fridge has lots of space, with a can holder and gallon-size bottle space, too.
I wanted a unit that would look built-in and it fits the 36' x 70" opening in my kitchen perfectly. Standard fridges that are 36" wide would stick out into the kitchen at least 5", some as much as 7" or 8". My old fridge stuck out over 5" and gaining just this little amount of floor space makes the kitchen look much more open and larger.
Overall a great refrigerator at a very good price from the first company to start making refrigerators almost 100 years ago. I expect years and years of it working perfectly. (Frigidaire invented through-the-door ice and water dispensing, too),
The delivery crew was great and they set up everything right down to it being level and running/dispensing water. He handed me the extended warranty offer and I asked him if I should get it. "Not with this model" he said. Very reliable manufacturer.
What's great about it: Perfect in every way, especially for the price.
What's not so great: Counter-depth fridges can't fit an extra large pizza box in them.
I would recommend this to a friend!
