Type: Three-door French-door bottom-freezers

Specs
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	25.0
Cabinet-depth model Cabinet-depth models usually measure 27 to 28 inches deep, not quite flush with the cabinets, but at least three inches shallower than many standard 36-inch-wide models. You can get models with stainless exteriors or panel kits. Cabinet-depth model	No
French-door style French door models are bottom-freezer refrigerators whose upper compartments have two narrow doors that open similarly to the doors of a side-by-side refrigerator. These narrower doors use less space in front of the refrigerator when opened, and allow access to either or both sides of the full-width fresh-food compartment. Typically more expensive, French-door models are usually 36 inches wide, though some newer models are 33 inches wide. French-door style	Yes
Energy star Refrigerators manufactured after April 28, 2008, earning this designation must be at least 20 percent more energy efficient than the minimum federal standard. Energy star	Yes
Door style While most fridges have a flat, textured "skin," some have a smooth, curved surface that can't accept custom panels. Door style	Curved Smooth

Features
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes
Uniquely adjustable shelves Shelves that can be moved up and down without removing food. An example is a shelf that adjusts by rotating a crank handle. Uniquely adjustable shelves	No
Pullout shelves/bins These let you reach items in the back more easily. Some refrigerators have these features in both the freezer and main compartment. Pullout shelves/bins	Freezer only
Half or split shelves Half shelves, typically found on top-freezer or bottom-freezer models, can be set at the same height to provide a full-width shelf or can be set to different heights to improve storing flexibility. Split shelves, found on some side-by-sides, allow one side either to fold under the back half, fold up and out of the way, or move right to left. This leaves extra headroom for tall items. Half or split shelves	Yes
Gallon storage on door Door shelf can accommodate a standard one-gallon plastic milk container and makes for easier access to beverages. Gallon storage on door	Yes
Temperature-controlled meat/deli bin Keeps meat, fish, and cold cuts at around 32 degrees--several degrees colder than the rest of the fridge with a separate control. This feature generally does what it's supposed to, unless the thermostat in the main compartment is set too high. Temperature-controlled meat/deli bin	No
Icemaker Typically makes 3 to 4 pounds of ice a day--but according to our repair data, an icemaker may also add reliability problems. Some higher-end models have a feature to speed ice-making, which produces as much as twice the amount in the same time. Some Frech-door models have ice-making compartments in the fresh food section, if they also have through-the-door dispensers. Icemaker	Yes
Ice dispenser Through-the-door ice dispensers usually offer cubed or crushed ice, but are only available on French-door models, with a special compartment in the fresh food section. They add significantly to the purchase price--and according to our repair data, may also add reliability problems. Ice dispenser	No
Built-in water filter A water filter, included with many icemakers, is intended to reduce levels of lead, chlorine, and other impurities. A filter usually adds to the cost of the refrigerator, so have your tap water tested to see if you really need one. Change about every six months; filter-cartridge-replacement costs range from $30 to $40, plus shipping. Built-in water filter	No
Touchpad controls In some models, you can use an electronic touchpad to adjust the temperature settings. In some higher-end models, the display will show the actual temperature. Touchpad controls	Yes
Spill guard on shelves Raised border on glass sealed shelves prevents liquids from traveling. Spill guard on shelves	Yes
Freezer light Available on most models. Freezer light	Yes
Child lock-out for dispenser This feature, usually a button or switch, allows you to disable the ice and water dispensers. The icemaker continues to work while the dispensers are disabled. Child lock-out for dispenser	No
