A:AnswerThere is no room to fill a large pot from the dispenser. Only enough room for a tall glass. Flow rate is very, and I mean very slow around 1.5 quarts per minute.
A:AnswerDispensing regular ice is no problem at all.
I do find that when using the crushed ice option things can get a little messy and go all over the place.
A:AnswerAccording to Kitchen Aid all 606 white interior models were affected by this issue and 706 platinum interior up until late 2015. The operator suggested calling them with the serial
number of the fridge you are looking at and they can tell you if it is a problem child or you are in the clear.
A:AnswerOpen box means the unit was bought by someone who returned it. My last open box was due to the freezer not freezing(Samsung). This one still had the sticky wrap on it, and was likely sent back because someone failed to measure the space it was to occupy.
Supposedly Open Box items are sent to a specific warehouse to check for faults, but I doubt anyone really checks them. The replacement(this fridge), has a defective door handle mount. I called KA and have an appointment. It’s a minor issue which does not effect the appliance working, and the $1800 savings is worth the $1 part and an hour of my time.
A:AnswerI wish I could give the KitchenAid Refrigerator a zero-star rating because this appliance has been nothing short of a costly nightmare. What started as a promising addition to my kitchen quickly turned into a regrettable purchase that has left me frustrated, inconvenienced, and significantly out of pocket.
The most glaring issue with this refrigerator is its baffling design flaw. The ice storage bin is inexplicably located right above a vital electronic control board. During a power outage, the ice inevitably melts, causing water to flow directly onto this sensitive electronic component. The result? Extensive damage to the electronic system of the refrigerator, rendering it practically useless.
While the KitchenAid customer service team insists on linking this problem to the warranty period, the truth is that this issue is unrelated to the duration of coverage. Power outages can strike at any time, irrespective of warranty status. It's a fundamental design flaw that should never have passed quality control.
As someone with an engineering background, it's painfully clear to me that this refrigerator was not built to last. The technicians who visited my home confirmed that this is a recurring problem and questioned why KitchenAid hasn't issued a recall. That's a question I've been asking myself as well.
But the issues don't stop at the design flaw. After forking out a hefty sum for repairs (nearly half the cost of the refrigerator), I now face additional problems that require even more money to fix. The lights inside the refrigerator won't turn on, and the ice-making feature is temperamental at best. I've been told that fixing these issues could set me back another $1,000, with no guarantee of a permanent solution.
KitchenAid's response to this ongoing disaster has been disheartening. They've offered a measly $100 reimbursement, which is an insult given the extent of the damages and inconvenience caused. It's apparent that their priority is to protect their bottom line, rather than genuinely address customer concerns.
In summary, I strongly advise against purchasing a KitchenAid Refrigerator. Save yourself the headache, the repair costs, and the frustration. This product's design flaw is an inexcusable oversight, and their customer service response is inadequate. Consider alternative brands that prioritize quality and customer satisfaction over profit margins.
A:Answerfridges run 100-250 watts. This one is big, it has an ice maker but with smaller compressors and led lights 200 watts should be a safe estimate.
A:AnswerNo it has not, as far as the ice maker goes, and it is quite frustrating for the cost of this refrigerator. It pretty much renders the external ice dispenser useless.
A:AnswerHi, the exact height from the floor to the top is 70 inches.and 36 inches from the back of the fridge to the front of the door handles. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerGo to the store and get a temp gauge. I put one in the fridge and the freezer just to check it out. Both parts seem to maintain the temp well as long as you don't open the doors too much.
These new refrigerators are more efficient but they run longer and cool more slowly.
A:AnswerYes it does come with a water filter, and an air purifier filter for the inside. I guess it's supposed to work like a box of baking soda to keep your food fresh.
A:AnswerIT does not hold enough, I would avoid any French Door Refrigerator with a water and Ice Maker in the Door. It takes up lots of refrigerator space and NO MANUFACTURER will replace your refrig even if it breaks 9 times. in 3 years like my 5 door/drawer top of the line KitchenAid.
IT'S A LUXURY ITEM. LIKE THE STAINLESS STEEL FINISH IS A LUXURY.
REAL STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANY MAGNET TO STICK.
AFTER I FOUND A TOP END KITCHENAID APPLIANCE ONLY HAD A THIN SS FINISH. EVERY MAGNET STICKS.
GO TO THE STORE AND MEASURE THE INTERIOR SHELVES TO SEE IF IT MEETS YOUR NEEDS.
