It's ok except the ice maker

We purchased this refrigerator in July 2015 and for the most part I like it. It's roomy enough and organized fairly well. As with most everything that's bought, you're always going to find things that you don't particularly like about it. This refrigerator is no different remembering that nothing is perfect.
As of this date, 1/15/2016, I have not experienced the horror stories that some of the other reviewers have had and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I did read these reviews before we bought and the reviews of all of the other refrigerators and guess what, they all have horror stories.
So we purchased the Best Buy warranty program just in case and we're hoping we don't have to use it.
That all being said here's what I don't like about it. The Wide Open Cool Select Pantry that that you can control the temperature on is really nice. We keep our deli meat and cheese in it and I like that it's flat, wide and deep. However, you have to open both of the main doors when you want to get something from there and I didn't realize just how much we go there.
Now, this isn't really that big of a deal but we were trying to decide between the 3 door and 4 door refrigerator. The 4 door being the one that has the Wide open cool zone with a door you just pull out without having to open any other doors. This is just a difference in design and I'm not taking off any points because that was our decision and it's on us. Kind of petty but I thought I would mention it in case someone reading these reviews is trying to decide between the two.
Now to my real gripe. The ice maker. I sure wish you could test ice makers before you make a purchase. This thing is slow and there's not a large capacity. When I get ice, I can hear it running but nothing is happening, then a few pieces drop, then a few more until I finally get enough ice. Torques me every time. I've checked the bin multiple times and it's full. Not sure what to make of it.
It's also loud. The first few times I heard something I thought, what just hit the house. Oh, it was the ice maker. Now I'm used to it and it's not really a big deal. It's just noise.
I was really struggling with the star rating. Going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. I ultimately decided on 4 because the ice maker is the only pain. Everything else about the refrigerator is fine.
I hope this helps anyone trying to decide on a refrigerator.
