Kenmore Refrigerator - Elite Side by Side Review

Sears Kenmore Elite Side by side model 5478.  Not a bad refrigerator, but the ice maker will dump ice on you or down in the freezer if you open the door during its "harvest" mode.  Happened twice in a month.  Tech says that is the way it is.  Also dispenses about 1/8 cup of water ahead of ice if you use the shaved ice setting.  The shaving melt in the chute after you use it and then you get some water with the next batch.  Tech says that's the way it is.  Two design flaws in a $2,000 Kenmore.  I am shopping for something better, but when I read what is on consumeraffairs.com in the complaints section I am just horrified.  The Maytag/Whirlpool store said to research Samsung (which looked good to me) and people have terrible things to say about them.  However, the Maytag guy should have held his tongue because they just recalled 1.6 million fridges where the compressor relay can set the thing ON FIRE!  How cool is that for a fridge?  It looks like there is no such thing as consistent quality and you simply play the odds on getting a good unit.
