We waited three years for a replacement for our white 2006 Maytag french door that had seen better days. Now that it has been rebranded by Whirlpool as an "upscale" Kitchenaid KRFC136RWH, I will offer some observations.
1. It is much lighter weight, due to extensive use of plastic, in the internal liners and doors.
2. Drawers are lighter gauge plastic, flex and have extensive side play when you pull them out.
3. The bottom drawer has to be tilted at a 45 degree angle to remove, due to limited travel of the French doors.
4. The water service lines on the back aren't secured, are disorganized, criss crossing and rattle against the wall when the water is dispensed.
5. Mediocre build quality is evident in the form of scrapes in the (plastic) freezer floor, visible excess door sealant.
6. There is a rough edge and uneven cutout at the front right corner of the outer metal shell, floor level.
6. The water filter, which is proprietary Whirlpool, is quite expensive, and rates 1 star reviews because it doesn't last the quoted 6 months. Had I known this I would have scavenged the old Maytag system.
7. Our brand new filter gives our water an "off" taste, which we didn't have before and don't have at our unfiltered faucets.
8. The freezer door, which was removable on our old Maytag for cleaning out the bottom of the freezer (same exact door) is now pop-riveted to the rails and can't be removed. Make sure that someone is around with long arms to clean the bottom of the freezer area.
9. The freezer rails were overloaded with grease on all sides. The lubricant is clear and not recognized until you have it all over your hands.
10. After all this, you can add that it has less capacity in the drawers and freezer.
It's too late to get our old Maytag back, and in truth it needed to go, but let's just say that buyer's remorse in rampant due to a big loss in quality AND quality control.

This refrigerator is a good purchase. It is well designed for maximum storage in a counter-depth model. The icemaker works perfectly. I’m sure I will get many years of use from it.

KitchenAid refrigerators are known for their style, advanced features, and high-quality construction. This fridge is Spacious with ample space for food and is well-organized. I also love the Adjustable Shelves and I’m so glad we went with bottom freezer to replace our last French Door model which always seemed too small. I also paid for delivery and installation which was awesome. This is definitely a huge upgrade from our old KitchenAid which is now our garage fridge.

Happy with the delivery, and refrigerator, but being used to ice and water on the outside of the refrigerator, leaves less room inside for
freezer stuff cause the ice machine and ice tray take up a lot of space.

Amazing refrigerator. We had an older model previously and the inside on this model was definitely improved. The freezer doors shut and seal way better than the old model, and I like how the crispers are now on the bottom. It is good to note that kitchen aid has a 10 year warranty on the refrigeration components, but you have to go through a Kitchenaid approved repairman.

Clean looking frig. Water dispenser is inside. Ice machine makes ice very quickly. I bought the counter depth because I like the look of tidy kitchen. Didn't want the thing sticking out a foot or so. I've bought KitchenAid a few times last year. Very happy with the quality.

GREAT TRUE CABINET DEPTH UNIT!

This refrigerator is perfect for. my cabinet depth space. I had an old Amana with wood panels that finally died. I love the double door saving walkway space in front and the temperature displays are nice. The swing of the doors made it so it could be completely flush with the surrounding cabinetry. PERFECT! Love this! Only wish is that they offered different pull styles since not everyone has the same taste. These work nicely though. Very happy!

Well designed and attractive. Holds the temperature well. Although somewhat shallower than I have been used to, the deep door shelves allow easier access to more products. Overall, I find that it seems to have more storage space than expected.

This frig is exactly what I wanted. I love the french doors on top and freezer on the bottom. The freezer makes ice quickly, keeps everything in the freezer within reach and hold lots of meat. The frig keeps everything in view and lots of door space.
