Rated 3 out of 5 by MVP Some issues to work out
This is a good looking fridge that is designed well inside and out. It gives a built in look and the square door design is very nice. My fridge came with an uneven gap between the top of the freezer drawer and the bottom of the fridge door, 1/2 inch on one side and over 3/4 inch on the other, very noticeable. F&P said it can be adjusted by leveling, have exhausted trying to level it, even technician can't fix the gap. Tech is looking into it consulting with F&P, I am hoping something can be done as this is a pricy fridge. Also noticed that water line to water dispensor freezes and dispenser doesn't work once in a while. Tech said to try raising the fridge temp. Well I have the fridge on the default temp and I don't think I should have to have a warm fridge for the water to work, not pleased about this, don't know what the solution will be yet, still in talks with the tech. Ice maker works well but very slow, takes a good 5-6 days to fill the bin, this is because the cubes are smaller and not crescent shaped like most it also only makes 8 cubes per batch.
