Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Disaster from Failing after two years and disaster service I moved and because my last Kitchenaid builtin was great for ten years (just replaced the icemaker) bought this. Terrific for two years, then started having fridge temperature high and freezer -10 (several similar reviews here--but not before I bought). Every time I call service it takes me at least half an hour, frequently much more with long waits and dropped calls. I have now had this serviced five or six times over five months by two Kitchenaid service companies, with no urgency, never coming as scheduled either, and although I thought this was fixed--has worked for a month or so since the last fix--it has the same problem again today.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jay G from Not Happy with product does not cool properly 5+ years old and refrigerator does not cool 10K refrigerator. Noise is also high. Called kitchen aid and heard 12 year warranty! useless. Paid 150 for Kitchen aid technician estimated 2500$ for repairs and all parts under warranty. In addition they will not guarantee fridge will be working!!! stay away with these products and warranty gimmicks.. Buy trusted brands with proper warranties.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Birdslife from Great fit and features I just replace my 20-year-old Kitchenaid appliances with stainless. My last built-in lasted 20 years without problems before needing to be replaced. This refrigerator fit perfectly and works great. Everything is the perfect temperature and digital temperature readout and other features are easy to use. Because of its size, I feared replacin this the most but the super employees from Bray & Scarff in Arlington made it look easy. I'm very happy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Points from FREEZER TEMP CONCERN Had a built-in KitchenAid when bought new house. Lasted 16 years. Bought same type, capacity, etc. The unit is beautiful and refrigerator side is great. Problem on Freezer side is that it, every so often, on it's own, although set to 0 degrees, the thermostat drops as low as -10 degrees. With a mercury thermometer we put in the freezer it reads as low as -18 degrees. I then have to reset the temp control in the refrig back to factory settings 0/37. About an hour later the freezer rebounds to -0 to -2 degrees. And no, this is not a result of the freezer door being left open for a period of time. Because it is not an every occurrence we haven't called for service. This unit is only 40days new.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Appliancemaniac from Great looking built-in fridge! I bought this to replace an older kitchenaid model because I knew it would fit in my cabinet space, and was one of the lower priced 42" built-ins. I do love the new led lights, and the handles are much nicer than before. It cools very well, ice maker is quiet and the ice is very clear, maybe due to the filter being a different style and larger than the previous model. I was only disappointed that the produce drawer filter was not integrated into the drawers, it's just a cheap plastic container with suction cups that holds the packets of filtering material. There were no instructions about this in the user guide, I only discovered it when I opened the gift box with the spare water filter. I was also missing one of the freezer door shelves, but KitchenAid has promised to send it to me. Now I just hope this fridge lasts longer than the last one (13 years).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlie's Mom from Gorgeous. We installed this fridge a couple of weeks ago and so far I don't have any complaints. It is quiet, the icemaker is quick, and it's just the right size. We really have loved the lighting inside the unit as well as the way the doors feel when you open and close them-- very sturdy and quiet. We did recieve the wrong base grill somehow-- but after contacting customer service I was informed that there is a seperate phone number for the built in units and I was VERY impressed with the customer service I recieved. I got a person without having to listen to elevator music and she understood my issue and sent a replacement out without question and incurring extra charges. I was very pleased with the experience!

Rated 4 out of 5 by SKH from Beautiful inside and out! We love our new side by side built in refrigerator! We just did a total kitchen remodel and purchased all new KitchenAid appliances. We are happy with all of our appliances. They look great and perform well. My husband's only request was for a side by side refrigerator. I originally wanted french door refrigerator but have been very happy with the side by side. Great storage. Beautiful inside, easy to keep clean and organized. Food seems to stay fresh longer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CHATTGUY from worst service experiance I purchased this built in KBSN602ESS00 unit in may 2016. Since day 1 we have had over temp alarm and no control of temp. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SERVICE BULLITIN about bad board from factory. after 2 services problem still persist. board and wiring harness replaced. ref temp was 56 degrees. Trying to talk to service or schedule is horrible. I called 5 times this am and no response yet. NEVER will I BUY kitchenaid again unless the after sales experience changes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nyj470 from Acceptable I replaced a 25 year old GE Monogram with this fridge of the same depth and width. It doesn’t seem to be arranged as well inside and I will have to learn how to best arrange the interior . The ice maker is nice but the freezer also doesn’t hold as much as my Monogram did.
