[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy with the frig with the exception of the ice maker. Have had service on it 5 times already in 4 years. they keep replacing it and still it continues to leak periodically.
Pros: ease of use, Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance
Had compressor go out after 5 years. They said having in garage caused failure.

We have had this fridge for 10 years! No issues until this year when the compressor went out. Luckily we are within the 10 year warranty (barely). I called customer service and they sent someone right away to replace it under the warranty. Hoping for another 10 years out of it!
It is a closed system so if it slowly leaks refrigerant, you won't know about it for a long while. If it happens and stops cooling effectively after your warranty period, it is a hassle to get the repair completed unless you have your original receipt. If you have it moved, make sure the movers are careful with the bottom side, the ice maker valve is fragile. The door hinge sags after a while. So the closing hinged part inside the door that keeps the seal between the doors, does not always catch the closing mechanism at the top of the refrigerator.
We bought this refrigerator 7 years ago. We love the features of the refrigerator especially the shelf that slides back for taller items and the slim ice maker which allows for shelves in the door. So disappointed that the compressor went out! Would have expected it to last longer than 7 years. In addition to compressor, there was some kind of leak along outside of refrigerator which deemed it nonrepairable.
Pros: ease of use, Style/Design, Features/Settings

I wanted to love this refrigerator so bad but,, Since we bought this refrigerator, the compressor went out twice, damaging all my perishables, ice machine never really worked. The second time it was repaired it cost us almost 700, for labor. Ice machine still no good. Just one nightmare after another.
Pros: ease of use, Style/Design
