Will never buy a Kenmore appliance again!
The refrigerator that we purchased was noisy and the ice maker quit completely within a year. Now that I have a new refrigerator I realized it never did a good job keeping my fresh fruits and veggies fresh for very long. My fresh produce would go bad, even with the temperature control settings adjusted several times to make sure that it wasn't 'user error,' within a few days. The unit died without warning. It didn't last half as long as our previous refrigerator. Very disappointing! Noise Level When the ice maker worked, it was very noisy and the motor cooling cycle was could be heard from the next room. Not loud but definitely noticeable. Interior Organization A side by side is very difficult to organize and I could never see things on the back of the shelves unless I removed everything from the shelf. Not convenient. Temperature Control Fresh produce did not last more than a few days, like four or five, no matter what it was or how I tried to adjust the climate control on the produce drawers. Ease of Cleaning Everything had to be removed from every shelf to clean properly. Produce drawers/bins were very cumbersome and difficult to remove and clean. Durability This appliance did not last half as long as the appliance we had previously. (Different brand). The ice maker quit out of nowhere as soon as the warranty was up and then was never fixed even when we brought in a repairman. Design Looked nice and I thought it would work well for our family with the ice maker and water on the door. But it did not turn out to be a good design for our family's needs.
