kenmore stainless refrigerator

This refrigerator replaced a 30 year old hotpoint. Not pretty like this new one. But worked good in spite of being a little beat up. I am not happy with this new refrigerator. It is noisy. And smells hot. We've got the required clearances on all sides. I am worried that we have just wasted a bunch of... read full review »

nice but noisy

I purchased this refrigerator a few weeks ago during a big sale, of course now the price is even lower! Oh well, this model looks nice, I was replacing a 12 yr old Kenmore of the same model. The new Kenmore is extremely noisy, it sounds like something is caught in a fan blade. It runs well and cools fine but the constant grinding noise sounds like tape in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. When the delivery men heard it run they were in a hurry to leave! I don't believe the sound is normal. Your experience may be different.

Good refrigerator

Purchased this refrigerator over 4 months year ago. When I first hooked it up, it was extremely noisy. When I was hooking up the water line for the ice maker the noise went away. I found for some strange reason, the cardboard access panel to the compressor was causing the noise. By adjusting the panel on the back bottom of the refrigerator, it stopped making noise. Have not had a problem since.

This unit deserves 5 stars for it's efficient features, overall appearance, and value. I paid $529 + $65 delivery. The price dropped by $10 after I bought it.

There are 4 adjustable solid (leak proof) plastic door bins that easily hold gallon containers. The dairy bin is fixed in place and has a lip to prevent rollouts but will not catch leaks. The less expensive model I compared it too had wire shelves and this model has leak proof glass shelving, nice. Two of three shelves are adjustable. The meat/cheese bin is clear plastic and shallow (about 5 inches), attached to the left underside of...

NOISY

This model is unbelievably noisy. Had the repair person out and he said that is typical of this model and Frigidaire refrigerators in general. There was nothing he could do to decrease the high-pitched sound, the loud fan noise or the clunking that happens intermittently. Do not buy this product!

IT DIED--ONLY 2 YEARS OLD!

I liked the color, style and size of this refrigerator, so I purchased it 2 years ago. I didn't buy the extended warrantee because I figured that because it was a KENMORE, it was built to last. WRONG! It completely stopped working under normal use and consitions after only 2 years! UNBELIEVABLE! Will replace it with anything BUT a KENMORE!!!!
