QuestionCan I order an extra shelf for the freezer? If so, can you please send me a link to the page?
Asked 4 years ago by Mom4ABC.

QuestionHow many shelves in the freezer? Can I purchase additional shelves?
Asked 5 years ago by curious.
- Answer There are 4 shelves if you count the one on the bottom drawer. You can technically add 3 more shelves but I found that adding 2 was more practical. If you add one of the potential shelves you would only leave a few inches to store items, so I didn’t add a shelf there. You can purchase online at several online appliance stores. I waited until I received the fridge before ordering shelves so I knew exactly what size to get because depending on the location the sizes are different.

Asked 4 years ago by Lovemylife3691.

QuestionIts not clear from the description - does the refrigerator dispense ice through the door as well as fill up the ice bin, and does the icebin open for access to bulk ice?
Asked 5 years ago by Rowdy.
- Answer The answer is yes to both. You can get ice and water from the front of the door and even dispense while the fridge door is open. You can easily tilt the ice bucket out when the freezer is open as well if you prefer to get a handful of ice cubes or need to remove the bucket to dump into a cooler or large pitcher. Hope that helps!

QuestionWhat is the best temperature to keep the freezer? Factory set says 0(zero) for the freezer... but that seems like it's too cold... Mind you I am used to the old freezers that had a turn dial for choice. It would only let me raise it 5 degrees. Thx
Asked 7 years ago by AC.
- Answer AC, the recommended setting would be 0. If that is too cold than we would recommend setting it to one setting higher. Please wait 24 hours before adjusting the temperature again. We hope this helps!
