Frigidaire - Gallery 36 in. Wide 22.3 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Counter-Depth Refrigerator - Smudge Proof Stainless Steel

Purchased this after my 3 year old LG fridge died and was recommended to buy this brand. Due to availability and sizing requirements, this was one of the few I could actually choose from. I've only had it for 4 days, but I am considering returning it. It appears to freeze and cool food just fine, but is absurdly loud. When the repairman came for my original fridge, he noted that he could hear the compressor (which was busted) just from walking into the house. This fridge can easily be heard in every room of my home, I have had to close my bedroom door at night to try and block it out. When watching a movie in the living room (adjacent to kitchen), I needed to nearly double the usual volume the TV is at just to try and drown it out and hear dialog over it. Frigidaire support appears to state that it will quiet down once it reaches the set temperature (which if it hasn't by now is another problem), but it honestly seems to have just gotten louder over the last two days. It doesn't necessarily sound like something is broken, it's just an ever-present loud drone, like a large box fan set on high. It doesn't even stop when the doors are opened like one might expect. It should also be noted that in the Q&A on the product page Frigidaire support states that the dispensed water is chilled, but it is in fact not, as confirmed by the user manual. There is a hidden follow-up answer in the Q&A from Frigidaire stating that it does not chill the water, but I did not see that until after delivery. I will give it a few more days, but if it doesn't quiet down (even if it's just for periods of time), then it will be returned. There is no reason why a functional fridge should be running the fan/compressor 24/7.

Works well and looks good. The fan is noticeable but not annoyingly loud. Some noise when water and ice are moving within the refrigerator.

I always thought people who got really excited about appliances needed a life. I've gotta say, either I need a life or this is one awesome refrigerator. The LED lights turn on gradually as you open the door, like a luxury car, the refrigerator doesn't run with the door open, conserving energy, it's roomy inside and beautiful inside. So far, I am completely satisfied. Best of all, it fit the space I had for it as if they were made for each other. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, I actually hugged it, but only like twice.

The first fridge I received came with a defect as the water/ice would not come through. I was concerned because it was EXTREMELY loud however I trusted previous reviews and knew it was the fridge I received. Best Buy replaced the ridge and my new one (same model) is quiet, working as expected! No new complaints!

Works great, easy to setup & has plenty of space inside! The digital panel is easy to use & setup temperature to your liking!
