Dokey says "Jenn aire side by side is Loud and cheap. Would not buy again. " about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

Dokey — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:42:33 GMT

Very noisy. Since day one it has made noise. Although a technician was dispatched they couldn't fix it. We gave up after 2 times. Cheap. The bottom plastic door broke off. Filter very expensive. The filter change indicator does not nor has it ever worked. We have learned to change filter when water flow diminishes. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this unit. It sucks and I hate it....

Yabbadabbadoo says "They are all the same- literally!" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

Wow! My Jenn Air French door fridge stopped working last night. It was 61/2 yrs old. My neighbor's stopped working last year at 5. Went to a large appliance dealer in Chicago and salesperson explained that they are made to last 7-10 yrs. He said they could make it better but it keeps people working. The worst part is that I wanted to get a better quality one after this, let's say a Viking, well it is exactly the same fridge with different doors for over a grand more. Made by the same company amana/ whirlpool. Depressing. Check it out for yourself! It blows. I can pay 29 dollars and my store will recycle the big broken beautiful useless refrigerator....

Leadbelly says "The Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. fridge is very unreliable - don't buy!" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

I've owned a Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer French Door Refrigerator for about four years and in that time is has failed three times. Good thing I bought extended warrantees - twice. The first problem turned out to be a blown circuit board. The second was a dead compressor. Not sure what this problem might be but won't know until Friday, which is 5 days from now.

The fridge may look good, but it's a hunk of junk. If I could kick it to the curb and buy something more reliable I would. The Jenn-Air brand isn't what it used to be, and the folks at Whirlpool and Maytag should be ashamed to produce such a lousy product.

JustToLetYouKnow says "Looks nice, poor quality." about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

The Jenn-Air French Door refrigerator looks great, but poor quality and poor reliability.

Upside: Great looking, perfect cabinet depth.

Down Side: Expensive, poor quality, I have had repairs made 3 times, relay switches, compressor, plus had to replace the lower drawer unit because the plastic door pin broke off. Cost of ownership is now over 3000.00.

SueinSoCal says "Not quiet!" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

sears-feed — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 19:30:12 GMT

I wish I had read the reviews on this one before I bought it. The main thing we hated about our old refrigerator was the noise. I wanted quiet. The specs say it has a special sound package. This feature is the one that "sold" me on it. How much noise would it make if it didn't have it? It makes a lot of "motor" noises and quite loud at that. I like the features though. The cabinet depth and the double door are great for being able to see everything. I love the wide shelf at the bottom. The deep door shelves bring all the frequently used items to the front. The bottom freezer is great. It holds plenty and since it is used less often, it belongs on the bottom. We have a cabinet that is less than 24" deep, so the cabinet depth is perfect for us. It still sticks out about an inch but some side by sides would stick out 8 inches. The temperature has been fine, no problems. The ice maker works. But, the water dispenser doesn't work. No water comes out. I'll be calling repair service for that (only......

Annor says "Shake, Rattle and Roll" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

sears-feed — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 02:45:15 GMT

This refrigerator is beautiful, I like the storage area in both refrigerator and freezer areas. The water filter is expensive to replace. It makes a lot of noise, I'm wondering if it is not properly balanced which could be the cause of all the rattling. I've read the article about temperature problems. What some owners may not know is this refrigerator has a 'Sabbatical' setting, I had to look that up in the owner manual. On the Sabbath, the refrigerator has a setting that will allow it to use as little energy as possible. I'm wondering if that setting was turned on and never returned back to normal. After reading the review with the problems I'm afraid to have someone come look at the refrigerator to see what all the rattling is about in case it makes things worse. So far I'm happy with the refrigerator, except the rattling....

portland says "Love It!!" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

Sounds like it is hit or miss with this unit. Mine is 6 months old. I guess it could still develop troubles, but so far, I absolutely love it!! Bought it because I bought the matching professional style gas range. It works perfect and I only get compliments on it. Counter depth units have less space, so I have a fridge in my garage....

coopdon says "Not recommended" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

sears-feed — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 22:15:21 GMT

I own one of these units and I would not recommend it to anyone. It has been nothing but trouble. I am continually buying replacement parts. You can buy a much better refrigerator for a lot less money. If you do purchase a Jenn Air, the extended warrenty is a must....

tricketts says "Awesome Cabinet Depth Frig" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

sears-feed — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 04:11:04 GMT

I read the other review and had to wonder if the other consumer simply had a defective unit. I am very particular but have found this refrigerator to be the best I have ever owned. Temperature control is perfect between refrigerated and freezer sections, tons of space in both. There is no center dividing wall in the upper refrigeration unit which makes a huge difference. This is far superior to a side by side style that cuts lateral storage space in half. And watch out for other models, some of the freezer at the bottom units also have a dividing wall (unnecessary) in the upper refrigerated area that cuts way back on what you can store. Cabinet depth and styling combined with the excellent storage space make this the perfect frig for me. I highly recommend. It's the best ever!...

Rico1 says "Not as advertised" about Jenn-Air 19.8 cu. ft. French-Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

sears-feed — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:47:31 GMT

This refrigerator has been nothing but a nightmare. On and off loud noises (so much for the sound proofing), vibrates, and worst of all after 5 service calls the temperature control still does not work. Stay away from this unit....
