    • Dual Evaporation: true (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: What is the difference between the monochromatic and the stainless-steel? Does it look different than the other kitchen aid appliances? ( KRSC503ess) 2429.99

A: Need to revise my earlier answer because I just had Kitchenaid regular stainless steel dishwasher and double wall oven installed. While the monochromatic does smudge, it is very easy to clean and I only need to do it every 3 weeks or even longer. It is less shiny than their regular and in my opinion better looking in this regard, more of a refined brushed stainless steel look. I prefer it aesthetically. The regular stainless steel not only smudges easier, it is hard to clean and not leave a bigger mark with the cleaner. I am happy aesthetically with mixing and matching the two within the same kitchen. My refrigerator doesn't share a wall with my other appliances but no one would notice they aren't the same visually. The shine is subtle and if anyone noticed would just think the lights hitting them differently in different areas. It struck me when they were installed but I don't notice now, what I notice is how much cleaner my fridge always is!

Q: Are the sides of the refrigerator stainless steel? If not what color are sides?

A: No, only the first couple inches on the side, which is the side of the door. The rest is like a gray plastic material. My refrigerator sticks out from my cabinetry quite a bit. While this bothers me because I would prefer a more built in, clean look, the look of the gray side will never bother me. I don't think anyone else would even notice or give it a second thought.

Q: what is the height width and depth of this model kitchenaid KRSC503ESS refrigerator

A: The dimensions are: Height71.25 inches Width35.75 inches Depth30 inches

Q: Is this model fingerprint resistant?

A: Not really. I think it's supposed to be, and although it doesn't show the finger smudges as bad as some other stainless steel appliances do, they are definitely still visible.

Q: I know the door height is 71 1/2" but what is the height of the cabin or the back that goes into the space? I have a 70" clearance.

A: The very top of the door height, just the first 1/4", is 71 1/8" and the rest of the door including cabinet is 70 3/4". I understand your dilemma of only having a 70" clearance. You might be able to trim the bottom of your upper cabinet. We had to remove ours. Much to our surprise the refrigerator looks so attractive we don't even miss the upper cabinet and will not replace it.

Q: what is the width of the refrigerator, please

A: The width is 35.75 inches wide.

Q: What is the dimensions of the refrigerator shelf?

A: The dimensions of the refrigerator shelf is 17 1/2" wide by approximately 14" deep.
