Bought this refrigerator about a month ago. I thing the design is faulty. The center piece that's above the top shelf prohibits putting a carton of milk on the shelf without tilting it in. It also takes up a lot of room to move things around on that shelf. The door shelves are designed to hold such things but are a pain to get them out. The light on that center piec is unprotected and could shatter if struck by a taller item. It is a little noisy, but not objectionable. All in all it is an OK refrigerator but could use some common sense engineering. Had a Hotpoint, made by GE that was still running after 32 years. I would have bought another one if they were still making in this size.
