Rated 4 out of 5 by Charlie Chic from A couple of issues. Refrigerator was bought in October. Although the ice maker works fine, there is an issue with it filling up the ice bin a little too high. When we open the bottom freezer to get ice, ice is pushed out the back of the bin and falls to the floor area of the freezer. We have to open the freezer door completely and reach in to remove the overflow ice. The ice maker was replaced in kind but it still is experiencing the same problem. I have notified the certified appliance repair dealer. Hopefully they will follow up with the engineering group with Whirlpool. Also a replacement right side door is on order. Our refrigerator has a small ding on the lower portion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tef904 from Worth the wait I love this refrigerator. The color is amazing. It’s not a hard dark matte black. It’s a beautiful shade of black. I didn’t get to see the color in person (no one had it available to see). I love the roll out shelf, the wood trim makes it so elegant. The water dispenser is nicely placed on the side out of the way. The only 2 little negatives are, the shelves don’t fold down if you have a tall or large container. Secondly, the motor is a little of a loud hum. But I am so happy with it, neither of those two things bother me. Have only had it 3 weeks but definitely recommend this product. Getting the rest of the matching appliances tomorrow.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Refrigerator unhappy from Run don’t walk from buying this refrigerator A little over a month old and the icemaker completely stopped working! Went into Sabath mode and would not come out of Sabath mode! Entire refrigerator turned off. Could not get it to work Kitchen had three different repair men come out to try and fix it. They did not have a repair manual they could use! Then when the third guy ordered a new ice maker they said the part was on backorder. I’ve now had the refrigerator for a little over two months with no icemaker and it continues to go in and out of Sabbath mode! Why in the world does it have a sabbath mode? If you don’t want refrigeration on the Sabbath why can’t you turn it off yourself? Very, very, very disappointed in this refrigerator.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bad experience all around from Bad experience Lowe’s delivered our fridge set it up and left. a couple hours later we noticed it was not cooling. Called Lowe’s, they made us call Kitchen Aid. Kitchen Aid had us call Warranty company. A week later warranty tech comes out and can’t fix it. Must order parts not in stock. Called Lowe’s, they told us can’t help us because we didn’t request a replacement within the first 48 hrs. We were never offered this option. Now waiting for parts. New fridge, but does not work. Very, very disappointed in how distributor and manufacturer handle this issues. Won’t buy from either moving forward.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Brent65 from Great looking refridgerator We have owned the unit for over a month, and we really like how it looks. It is quite flexible regarding how the shelves can adjusted. A few issues have occurred: The internal water dispenser continuously dripped water from day one. We followed the instructions in the owner's manual (collect 3 gallons, while cycling 5 sec on and off). This stopped the leaking. We also had an issue with the lower deli drawer. If heavier items are placed at the back of the drawer, it will fall off the track and get jammed. By moving the heavier items to the front, the problem went away. However, this is a frustrating design flaw.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from I would not recommend I purchased this a couple weeks ago. Very sorry I did. Drawers do not all work smoothly. Pulled the freezer drawer out to check on the ice and I watched some fall back, but where does it go? You can’t reach back there, I guess time will tell. One evening my wife opened the refrigerator door and no lights. I called kitchenaid and of course no after hours. So I looked on line and the useless manual. So the refrigerator went into Sabbath mode. To do that you have to push a button on the inside of the door and holds for 3 seconds. So not like you could do this by mistake. So why did it go into that mode. Worse will it do it again. Still don’t know how to adjust the temperature. If I could go back I would not have purchased this refrigerator.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mtrain from French door Refrigerator This refrigerator has a beautiful exterior and interior- although the interior is not designed for maximum use. The temperature controlled drawer does not stay on rollers I ended up removing it - constantly locking up. The odd pull out tray in center also uses up valuable shelf space and not really functional. the freezer drawer makes terrible noise every opening and very small size. the “pizza” slot is waste of space precious freezer space that can’t be used Crisper drawers are flimsy and small I miss my old refrigerator!

Rated 5 out of 5 by pjhaspin from LOVE IT...BUT... I'm thrilled with my new fridge. It's easy to organize my perishables and the counter depth means I don't have to "dig" to find things that I'm looking for. BUT... there are no instructions how to adjust the temp in the fridge or freezer, other than touching the icon on the door (which I bump on a regular basis). If I touch the fridge button, it only RAISES the temp and there are no instructions on how to lower it. I would appreciate any updates to the "quick start" that will help me maintain my temp settings. I've touched the LOCK for 3 seconds, but it doesn't lock, so I'm out here on a limb.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Darius 2026 from Good performance, quiet and responsive.Poor manual I really like this refrigerator — it has a great design, runs quietly, and responds quickly. It works very well overall. However, the user manual is surprisingly poor. It’s hard to believe that in an era of detailed electronic PDF documentation, KitchenAid (Whirlpool) still provides a generic manual that covers many different models. For a new user, it becomes difficult to know which sections actually apply to your specific refrigerator. A good example is the WiFi feature. After spending a lot of time reading the manual and trying to set up the connection, you eventually discover that your model doesn’t support WiFi at all. Clearer, model‑specific documentation would make the experience much better.

Rated 3 out of 5 by johnandronnet from Beautiful but disappointing We bought this about a month ago and absolutely love the color and the overall look in our new kitchen. However the quality is disappointing. We’ve owned a KitchenAid in the past and that’s why we chose another one for our new kitchen. The deli drawer especially is frustrating. It often shifts and comes off the track. We also already have a service call in for someone to come and fix the water dispenser. When flushing down the first time, it simply stopped working. Not what we expected from KitchenAid.
