Product review (2 stars): Water/Ice Dispenser issues
++++++++++++++++
Update: After 3 years of use the Water/Ice dispenser arm broke in the *flow* position and partially flooded my kitchen. Luckily my wife caught it in time before it did major damage. The arm broke because it was under tension by the return spring and the plastic just gave way and fractured after 3 years of use.

Also the only way to repair is to buy the whole Dispenser module for around $90 plus shipping. You cannot just buy the broken piece.

FYI: The front control console will cost close to $500 to replace. So purchasing additional warranty is advisable. I wish I did!!!

Update: after 4 years the front Control Electronic Console is failing. The system would freeze-up ( no pun intended)  and will not dispense water or ice cubes. My work-around was to unplug the AC cord and wait for 5 seconds the re-plug the AC cored. That usually cleared the issue that happens every 5 weeks.
But now the problem is more apparent and the electronic console is now turning the whole unit off and on  and would stop whenever... like a christmas light!

Really dissapointed... unit did not even last 5 years!!!
Downgraded the to 2 stars

The high point of this refrigerator that makes it stand out from the crowd is that it is fully constructed in stainless steel while the others just have stainless steel cladding in the front but not on the sides.

This makes for a handsome refrigerator since this is not a counter depth model so the sides show.

Both freezer and refrigerator interior has ample storage. The interior lights have a nice effect of being initally dim at first and then fully brightens up.

A good point is the vacation mode you can set that saves electricity by not turning on the defrosting cycle when you are away.

My only grievance is the the design of the ice dispenser which delivers the ice (both cubes and crushed) which such force and intensity that the ice is spilled all over the floor and a clean up is always necessary. My 4 year old kid is so afraid to use it.

The delivery men do not install the water dispenser hose so I had to do it myself and it was somewhat of an effort threading it properly. I mis-threaded the first hose and had to buy an aftermarket replacement at $7. It seems that the original hose is hard to find item.

For the $2,500 we paid for it, we expected that the Ice dispenser flaw would have been discoverd and remedied before production.

FYI: unit made in Mexico.
