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.
Platinum Colored Interior with Metallic Accents
Brings premium style inside the refrigerator to complement the quality ingredients you keep on hand. Sleek silver colored walls accented by metallic trim on shelves, drawers and door bins offer a step up from the standard white interior.
Preserva® Food Care System
Two independent cooling systems provide a dedicated refrigeration unit to help keep food fresh longer, and a separate system for frozen food. The FreshFlow(TM) Air Filter helps minimize odors while the FreshFlow(TM) Produce Preserver helps delay over-ripening.
SatinGlide® System with Soft-Close
Add a luxury experience to the crisper drawers. The ball bearing rollers and glides allow effortless in-and-out movement even when fully loaded.

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.

We had a complete kitchen renovation completed this summer. I chose this fridge for two reasons - to get more fridge space and to have a built-in, counter-depth fridge. There's no question, the quality of the fridge is outstanding. The freezer has lots of space for our needs. I find the interior fridge space challenging - lots of drawer space but not so much shelf space because of lost depth. You have to really be on top of what you have in the fridge, to fit stuff in. Also, you have to open both doors COMPLETELY to get things out of the fridge. Our cabinet-maker didn't account for this properly, so the doors are hitting the frame of the gables that surround the fridge.
