Intuitive controls make it easy to precisely adjust the temperature of both the refrigerator and freezer.
Adjustable Spill-Resistant Glass Shelves
are easy to clean and help prevent messes from spilling over into other parts of the refrigerator. The shelf edges are nano-etched with a finely textured surface that helps contain spills, and lets you use the whole shelf from edge-to-edge.

Very disappointed (front door failing in 4mo)

I bought this 4 months ago and the repair man has been here 3 times already for the front doors. first it was making a noise like there was something going on with a spring. now the door do not stay fully closed. repair man came last week fixed it (saying that we have to be easier on the doors. so after a week the door will not stay fully closed. I am very unhappy about this. after spending $10,000 on a refrigerator I would expect more than this. recall or part replacement something.

A new master control board was not available for my very old panel front KitchenAid side-by-side. I replaced it with this beautiful french door model and skipped the expense of panel front -it is beautiful just like it is. When you open the doors you are wowed by the look of your food - the Platinum interior and LED lighting are impressive. On top of all of that - it is sooo quiet and keeps my food, produce and frozen items just perfectly.

I bought this a couple of months ago and already had to have it serviced. The drawers are not level and hinges were missing. If you use door bins with covers and open the covers items fly out because of design.
