There should be a freezer light. It is beyond me why this feature was omitted since this unit isn't cheap. Also the warranty of just one year tells me the reliability isn't were it should be. Based on the reviews it appears that the build quality is suspect base on the % of negative reviews. The % of negative reviews should be reduced by a better quality program. If it costs 15% to insure you get a quality built product its worth it. Maybe try ISO9000
