Panel Ready Allows the refrigerator to be customized to match surrounding cabinets with custom panels and handles (not included).

ExtendFresh™ Plus Temperature Management System helps keep ingredients fresh using sensors that continuously adjust temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer by monitoring the airflow between them.

Produce Preserver Absorbs ethylene gas emitted by many fruits and vegetables, causing them to over ripen. By removing ethylene, the produce preserver helps extend freshness.

SatinGlide® Crispers Add a smooth experience to the crisper drawers. The ball bearing rollers and glides allow effortless in-and-out movement even when fully loaded.

Automatic Ice Maker Ensures that you have a constant supply of ice for entertaining.

LED Lighting System located throughout the freezer and refrigerator, makes it easy to find items at a glance. Upon opening, lights illuminate gradually to full brightness for easy visibility.

Adjustable Spill-Resistant Glass Shelves are easy to clean and help prevent messes from spilling over into other parts of the refrigerator. The shelf edges are nano-etched with a finely textured surface that helps contain spills, and lets you use the whole shelf from edge-to-edge.

Intuitive Controls Provide an easy-to-use touch pad control system that puts every refrigerator function right at your fingertips.

Fit System Guarantee Ensures KitchenAid Brand Built-in Refrigerators will replace your existing cabinet cut-out of a standard comparable built-in refrigerator model that is 36", 42" or 48" inch wide or KitchenAid will provide up to $300 for a professional to adjust your cabinets.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Love my Side by Side

Mary LaRue 11/7/2019

We bought this refrigerator and added the wood panels to the front. It blends seemlessly with our cabinets and could not be happier.

My favorite new appliance!

GiGi007 10/6/2019

I bought a complete appliance package from Kitchen Aid for our new home being built and they are outstanding. Love that we could get it without ice/water in door (looks so sleek/clean), love the black stainless & just love the large size. Cabinets designed around this piece.

Good fridge space

StaceyJ 10/1/2019

I bought this last week. I was nervous initially as 3 hours after it was plugged in, the fridge went from 34 to 59 and had an error. The fridge was actually cold, the 59 indicator was incorrect and I was unsure how to fix it. The fridge space is very good but the ice box takes up a ridiculous amount of freezer space. It's a very bad design as another freezer drawer would be so much more beneficial than the wasted ice space.

Beautiful refrigerator

Khorst 9/19/2019

I love this refrigerator! We have it in the black stainless steel. We get comments on how beautiful it is all the time. Great storage capacity and I can not express how much I love the quantity of ice the freezer holds! It is great for get togethers

Major Trouble After 5 Days!! A lemon!

NYCustomer 7/31/2019

After 5 days, refrigerator side would not go below 51 degrees and freezer side starting getting frost..... After numerous resets for 2 days. Repairman got it to go to 30 degrees, but still an issue. I must have gotten a lemon. Receiving a new fridge in many weeks, as they are back ordered. Not a nice experience. PC Richards has been very helpful and professional during the process. I hope my next one works perfectly. the repairman said it should only last 10 years at most. Why can't they make them to last longer? This is a $9K fridge.Ice maker is very loud, much louder than previous refrigerators I have had.

Roomy and beautiful

WhatDidINeedAgain 7/15/2019

I really do love this refrigerator and hope that the problem we've been having will be covered by a warranty. Just a week after having my refrigerator up and running, my freezer has accumulating ice around the outside door frame. Don't know if I just got a bad model or not and I have no idea how to get it taken care of. Disappointing because otherwise, it's roomy, bright and quite impressive.

Gap between upper and door panels

Gap in Panels 7/10/2019

This review is solely based on the appearance of the panels once installed. As you can see from the pictures, there is approximately a 1" gap between the upper panel and the door panels. The exposed aluminum is significantly larger than the photo shown on the Kitchenaid website. The Kitchenaid rep was shown a picture and told my supplier that it appeared to be correct. The panels were ordered from my cabinet manufacturer and are the correct size per the specifications. The installation was also verified by two individual installers. Unfortunately the door hinges are not flush with the panels and protrude slightly so even if you wanted to get replacement panels that were 1" higher, they could not be installed given the existing door hinges. I bought the panel ready refrigerator for the overall aesthetic. Had I known the final installation would have resulted in what I have I would have rethought purchasing this refrigerator. The website image for this refrigerator has been misrepresented. See the pictures for the final installation. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Long lasting

AndreaB 5/18/2019

I bought this refrigerator 9 years ago and it is still operating perfectly. My Scotsman under the counter ice maker recently failed and the floors in my house were redone. I'm servicing the refrigerator because of its age and i'll Probably do so annually from here on.

Perfect amount of space.

Trish75 3/5/2018

I was hesitant returning to a side-by-side fridge after having a bottom freezer/French door fridge for 6 years. So glad I did! You can easily see what you have on hand -- the perfect amount of space.

main control board died

3/11/2016

we'll see if KA will let this review stand. the main control board was badly designed: there are hundreds of complaints online for the same problem. KA has chosen to abandon the product and no longer makes the main control board. will not be buying any KA products in the future. the ice maker has not worked since purchase despite multiple service calls.

48 inch built in panel ready

10/25/2015

Love this built in. We purchased our first KitchenAid 48 inch built in which was also panel ready about 20 years ago. This time no one told us that it did NOT come with handles. 20 years ago it did but not this time. I was surprised that the salesman didn't offer that information until after we received it and had to call to ask where the handles were. At that point he told us it did not come with handles. Never saw it on your web site either.

loved the INSIDE upgrades to an existing model

8/18/2015

Happy to replace my kitchen Aid refrigerator with the same Kitchen aid side by side model that I had for 15 yrs. This model is an exact inside replica of my old one however the existing panels frames are not compatible and would not fit thus resulting in extra expenses,terrible look and inconvenience.The designers need to take care of existing clients that have held the exact kitchens.It is ok for new kitchens when kitchen cabinets are being made to measure~!otherwise I am happy with the product.
