About this Item
Overview
KitchenAid 36 in. 21.9 cu. ft. Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator with Internal Filtered Water Dispenser
22 cu. ft. 36-Inch Width Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator with Interior Dispense and PrintShield Finish
This 72-inch refrigerator is three inches taller than a standard counter-depth refrigerator. It fills the gap that can be left above many refrigerators, adding to its integrated appeal. A pull-out freezer drawer allows you to organize frozen items on three levels. And with the ExtendFresh Temperature Management System all of your ingredients will be held at the optimum temperature to maximize their flavor and texture.
Features
ExtendFresh Temperature Management System
Separately monitors the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer through a sensor located in each, to help ensure fresh fruit juices don't become frozen and prawns avoid freezer burn.
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.
Interior Water Dispenser
provides easy access to filtered water and is conveniently located for one-hand operation
Additional Features
Humidity-Controlled Crispers
Provide a dedicated storage option with adjustable humidity levels. They let you select the high humidity that keeps romaine crisp, or the arid environment that helps figs and apricots stay fresh.
Pull-Out Tri-Level Freezer Drawer
features slide-out baskets with mats to help keep the freezer clean and organized.
Star-K Certified
STAR-K KOSHER CERTIFICATION for use on the Jewish Sabbath and other religious holidays.
Metal Wine Rack
provides a durable storage solution for up to four bottles of wine or 2-liter containers and can be removed for additional storage flexibility.
FreshChill Temperature-Controlled Full-Width Pantry
Provides a manual temperature setting that lets you maintain the freshness of ingredients as varied as a whole salmon or large eggplants.It gives you total control over of the amount of cool air that enters the drawer.
LED Lighting
Uses less energy than incandescent bulbs. Multiple lights are purposefully placed throughout the refrigerator and freezer, making it easy to find items at a glance.
Automatic Ice Maker
ensures a constant supply of ice on hand at all times for entertaining and everyday use.
Max Cool
Lets you use the touch of a button to drop refrigerator temperature to the coldest level, helping to chill groceries, beverages or ingredients for serving. After 24 hours, the temperature will automatically be restored to the previous setting.

We bougtht this panel-ready fridge almost 10 years ago and its still going strong with almost no issues. Ice maker and its drawer have been bit problematic over time, but would buy it again. Overall works as advertised and panel-ready looks awesome since it matches our cabinets.

Great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s so easy to find things! I was use to a side by side and the French door is so much more convenient. Also, I love the fact that the panels on the front match my cabinets. Really sleek and attractive.

specs
Those who complained about the counter depth being too deep are making a misleading review. All counter depth fridges are 27" - 30" deeo including the door and handles. If you are using a standard fridge with stianless, white or black, the fridge comes flush to the base cabinet. The door and handes always stick out past the base cabinets. When using a panel ready unit the cabinet maker/installer has to make the allowances with the cabinet. So the end panel or custom built refrigerator cabinet has to be deeper by that 2-4" of the door. Also Kitchenaid provides the specifications which clearly state the depth of the fridge with door and handles, with door and no handles and with no door or handles. While I feel sorry for those who are left with a bad look , if I wree them I would be blaming the cabinet maker or installer.

Everything We Need
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are happy with this fridge for our busy family...including the ice maker with scoop, water dispenser, wine rack, cheese/dairy drawer, digital temp controls, and subtle alarm when you leave the door open. The freezer has a nice rolling rack and enough space. We’re happy with this fridge! As well, KitchenAid provides good customer service.

Good Looking Unit with Matching Cabinet Doors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this unit primarily because it allowed us to install our matching cabinet doors panels on it. It is priced many $1,000's below the next available unit that allows cabinet doors to be attached. We also like the layout inside and the adjustability of the shelves. The freezer unit is spacious and very easy to find items. This unit costs $1,000 - $1,500 more than other comparable sized and units that do not allows us to attach our cabinet doors. We just hope it last a very long time for this extra investment. Like most refrigerator/freezers, this one makes some noises, but they are very low and not distracting like other units we have used.

Love-Love-Love this refrigerator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 2 counter depth, Panel Ready Kitchen Aid Refrigerators. One is hooked up and we love it. French Doors are a godsend, great storage. Interior is easy to access, great lighting and the crisp drawers work great!
The bottom freezer drawers are easy to use. If you are 88 years young as I am, throw out your old single door regular depth refrigerator and buy one of these.

Sleek design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently moved and are going to be renovating the kitchen, we begrudgingly left our Kitchenaid appliances in with the sale of our last house. When purchasing new it was between Bosch and Kitchenaid as we have owned both and loved them. We decided to stick with Kitchenaid as they have great features and I love the black stainless look, much easier to keep clean than regular stainless and plenty of room in the counter depth fridge/freezer. I highly recommend Kitchenaid appliances!

EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED
I felt compelled to write a review that was not bashing the refrigerator. I have been in the business for awhile so I think I know what I am talking about. 1) 100% COUNTER DEPTH FREESTANDING PANEL READY REFRIGERATOR. I believe most of the mistakes that people have encountered installing is they thought it was a true built in. IT IS NOT A BUILT IN it is FREESTANDING.
Point I am trying to make is there are literally only 2 companies that make a TRUE FREESTANDING PANEL READY FRIDGE (JENNAIR is the other). So get your facts straight before you just bash a company to death.

Caveat Emptor
I go back every couple of months or so and read the reviews on this much misunderstood refrigerator. It drives me nuts to read all the complaints that this fridge is not counter depth. This is a true counter-depth fridge, with the cabinet being 24" deep, which is the standard for free standing counter depth fridges. Almost all counter-depth fridges (panelled or not) that are free standing have to have the doors extending beyond the edge of the cabinets so that they can open. There is currently only one CD fridge that will flush mount with panels, and that's a Fisher-Paykel, due to it's articulated hinges. It's unfortunate on the Kitchen Aid that the side panels and door edges are black, what with the popularity of white cabints, but that's the way it is. When shopping for a panel ready fridge, the customer needs to understand this, and the salesperson needs to explain this in detail to the prospective customer, to avoid the multiple disappointments expressed in all the reviews. If you want a fridge that takes custom panels, and will mount flush in a 36" opening, you need to look at units by Fisher-Paykel (the least expensive), SubZero, Thermador, etc. These are termed built in units. Give Kitchen Aid a break! Shop for your appliances where the salespeople know what they're talking about.

Great Interior functional design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago. I really like the French door configuration since it has so much more easy access to every thing compared to the GE side by side that I had. The only thing I see that needs improvement is the shelf standards on the left and right sides. These standards need to have holes that are lower. This would allow the shelves to be placed lower. The center standard for shelves is OK, The slide out Deli shelf is great!

Practical and elegant!
We bought this KitchenAid refrigerator about a month ago. The unit is solid build and runs really quiet. It has a very practical layout with dedicated drawers for fruits, which is great to store boxed items like strawberries and tomatoes we get from the farmers' market. The freezer drawer is nicely divided into sections for easy sorting of frozen goods. We're very happy with this model!

Well worth the money
We almost bought another fridge made in Australia that was completely built-in (fully integrated) for the same price. However, we like the fact that the doors on this Kitchenaid open all the way. Many "fully integrated" fridges do not. Hubby thought the idea of a French door fridge was a little silly but now that we've had it for 3 months, he LOVES how easy it is to find everything. The ice-maker holds much more ice than did our previous 48" top-of-the-line $10,000 side-by-side which makes him REALLY happy!
Yes, small items will fall off the back of the two top glass shelves. Small items are hard to find on the top shelves of any fridge so simply store your small items (like juice drink cartons) on the bottom shelf where they are easier to find anyway.
The freezer compartment does not hold much. Depending on the size of your family and how much you rely on frozen food, this could be an issue.
One design suggestion: The cold water dispenser inside the fridge is a great idea. However, it should be on the right side not the left. Most people are right handed and it is a bit awkward holding the right and the left door opens just to get cold water.

Love my Counter Depth Refrigerator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love everything about my refrigerator. Counter-depth is perfect - I also had the studs turned to gain another 2-1/2" to recess the refrigerator further to align with the counters. Love the storage capacity, love the interior water dispenser, there is more than enough space for everything, and for keeping items easily accessible and organized. Food stays fresher, longer. Storage bins keep produce fresh, shelves are plentiful and I'm able to keep foods organized. Freezer drawers are perfect for organizing various shapes/sizes and find items easily.

Perfect fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our pre-retirement check off list consisted of making sure we purchased big ticket items that might require replacement in the immediate future. Our old fridge never fit the preexisting cupboard space and was showing some signs of old age. The requirements were tight, requiring a counter depth but shorter height fridge. The one fit like a glove. Apart from the fit, the interior is a design plus. With the personal addition of a few "lazy susan's" to maximize space for minimally used jars of sauces and condiments, the smaller cubic foot size is not an issue...everything at a quick arm's reach without moving things around.

your salesman didn't do his job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i am an appliance salesman and have this fridge at my house personally. This is a counterdepth fridge NOT a built in fridge. Kitchenaid did not mislead anyone the salesman who sold you the fridge didn't do his job in explaining the difference between a counterdepth fridge and a built in fridge. I could go on for days about this but after reading most of the reviews the problem is not the fridge it is either the salesman didn't inform the comsumer properly or the customer just ordered without knowing truly what they were buying.
This is a great fridge and it doesn't deserve the reviews that his gotten. BY far hands down the most popular item i sale when it comes to counterdepth refrigerators. Has been for years.

'Black band' solution
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had our cabinet maker create 1/4"-plywood pieces in the same finish as the door panels, and then attached adhesive magnetic strips to the back of the pieces. They hold to the sides of the doors and freezer drawer and create the custom finished look that everyone is hoping to achieve. You just have to measure below the hinges and inside the gasket seal for a proper fit. (Approx: doors 43 x 2-1/4", drawers 23 x 2-1/4")

Depth of unit black band
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To respond to purchasers who complain about the "black band" showing, I blame that 100% on installer error. I am a building contractor for 35 years,and if it's the flush built in panel look a client is after, it's obvious by the closed unit dimension without handles, which l believe to be 27.5", common sense tells you a pocket needs to be constructed behind the fridge to allow the unit to become flush to the wall and base unit doors.
My advice on a resolution, research your contractor's experience in kitchen installs.
This is NO WAY a manufacturer issue, more like contractor /home owner ignorance.

Door issues
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an interior designer and am letting all reviewers know that the black body of the side door and refrigerator can be painted with an all surface enamel to match the cabinet panels. The door side and refrigerator then disappears.
This is a great alternative for someone who wants the built in look without the hefty price of a top compressor model.

A Panel ready refrigerator at a bargain price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We looked at all panel ready refrigerators and decided the Kitchen Aid was the best value. We were not prepared to spend thousands more to have a refrigerator that blended well with our new cabinets, so the Kitchen Aid became our favorite. Nice interior quality and ample room for our needs.

Another excellent value from KitchenAid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently remodeled my kitchen, purchasing KitchenAid products.
I particularly like the set up of the freezer - the convenience of the locking ice drawer and the overall lighting - fridge and freezer. My old side by side KitchenAid still works fine and is now the spare fridge in the garage.
