Refrigerators

Predicted Reliability

Predicted brand reliability ratings are based on estimated problem rates for newly purchased bottom-freezer refrigerators, not covered by an extended warranty or service contract, within the first five years of ownership.

Thermostat control

This assesses the ability of the refrigerator's thermostat to 1) achieve the desired initial set temperatures following manufacturer's recommendations 2) achieve optimum temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer sections simultaneously and 3) keep internal temperatures constant despite large changes in room temperature.

Temperature uniformity

This performance test is based on how well a model minimizes warm and cold spots within its fresh food and freezer sections.

Energy efficiency

This reflects electricity consumption per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient.
