This appliance is simply excelent in every way. I've read other reviews where various buyers have experienced problems with every thing from leaking doors to broken ice makers to uncontrolable temperatures. These are all examples of a poor instalation or improper use. If this fridge is properly installed and set up it performs as well as ones costing much much more. I matched this refrigerator with the combination wall oven and microwave and the dishwasher and trash compactor. All pieces are the architect series and all are performing just as advertised. I could not be happier with KithenAid and would recomend these appliances to any one who is looking for real quality.

We remodeld our kitchen and I have had this refrigerator for 5 years - absolutely no problems. I was advised by my contractor/brother to not get Wolf or SubZero - too many problems.
The Kitchenaid looks as good - is less expensive - trouble free - and we love it.
We also purchased Kitchenaid Dishwasher, Microwave, Stove and Warming Drawer. Have only had 1 small problem with the Stove - a fuse.

after 3.5 years, the seals on both the fridge and freezer doors have holes in them and leak water (warm air gets in and gets condensed. it's ruined the wood cabinets next to the fridge. I've searched and found that this is a common problem. but NO recall or help from KA. It takes 2+years for the seals to break and by then the seals are not longer under the warranty.

Overall the Refrigerator is beautiful and fits nicely in a tight spot due to remodeling. We had problems with a broken utility drawer and a dent in the top piece. Both pieces were replaced. However the utility drawer plastic hinge broke again immediately after replacing it. Also sometimes the doors do not shut completely and this has to be monitored. The appliance has an alert sound when the doors are not shut completely which is very helpful
