"Ice maker repair side by side"
We purchased this side by side refrigerator in early 2006 and the ice maker has been broke most of the time. They come out and fix it only to go out again and again These repairmen do not know how fix the ice maker. Their is nobody who cares so we stuck with lemon. I would never buy a kenmore refrigerator again s long as I live.

"Not so Great for Storage Refrigerator"
I have only been using this refrigerator for a few months since that's how long we've been in this apartment. It does keep my food cold and it works well. I only have two problems with it. The first problem is storage. The shelving is not laid out in a way that makes it convenient to store food. In the freezer part there are no shelves. This makes everything very disorganized as all of the food is just in mounds. I can make not a lot of food seem like a ton and seem very hard to find. The only other problem I have had is in the door shelving. It cannot be filled too full. I discovered this when I opened the door too fast and one of the shelves broke. It has not been repaired yet. We still use it, but we have a couple of clips on the shelf to keep it where it is supposed to be. This brand of refrigerator is fine. It runs fine and I would recommend it. However, I would not recommend this model. It is simply very inconvenient.

"Elite Freezer & Refrigerator units"
Purchased Elite Model 253.44723110 Refrigerator and the Elite 253.44733108 freezer about two months ago, August, 2011. They are great. More than enough room for a 'want-to-be-chief', to stock everything. The shelves are not so deep that things are hidden from view. I have had many "Wow what a great refrigerator" and "I love it!" My only problem is that I can't research the units on line! Parts yes, picture, availability and cost, no! Maybe it is not made any more and removed from the line. I would like my daughter to view the equipment, to install in her new house.

"Beware of Kenmore's Warranty"
I loved our Kenmore refrigerator until about 3 weeks ago. It was spacious at 25 cubic feet, and the internal water dispenser was wonderful. However, it developed a sealed system leak. This is a 500-700$ repair that is not covered by an exceptional parts warranty. Had it been any other major brand, Whirlpool, LG, etc. it would have had at least a 5 year manufacturers warranty standard. Even though Kenmore's warranty information online says sealed system is covered, my specific owners manual just said 1 year. So, my advice: be very careful, check the specific owners manual, as that is all that Sears will stand by.

"I have a Sears Kenmore refrigerator."
I bought my Sears Kenmore refrigerator about 3 years ago, when my other went ka-put. I decided this time I would try something with the freezer on the bottom and the double doors. I love the fact that you can stick a whole large pizza box in this one. It's a really good refrigerator and I would recommend it to anyone. It has ample space, not only in the main section, but also the doors are wide enough, you can easily fit a gallon of milk or big containers of juice on the shelves there. One of the drawbacks is that the freezer department, even though it is quite large, is hard to keep organized. It is deep which means you are stacking food and packages on top of one another, and when you are looking for anything specific you have to go digging. Another small problem, it's sometimes really loud when making/dropping ice into the ice bin. This is a very minor inconvenience, but something worth mentioning. Overall, I'm very happy with this refrigerator and I'm glad I bought it. It has a lot of space, with drawers for your fruits/vegetables and deli. And the freezer has a separate small pull-out for items used more often.

"Kenmore Black Refrigerator"
I have owned my Kenmore Black 18.2 cu. ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator for about 5 years now and it is still runnning like new. I have loved this item ever since I purchased it. I bought it at sears and I did not get the extended warranty so Im very glad that it has just been perfect. I cant really say anything negative about it besides that its really simple; It doesnt have some of the functions that the newer ones do. However this item has every fuction I need. What I love about it is that it was affordable. This was one of the cheapest they had but I have purchased Kenmore items prior to this one so I knew there items are amazing. So far nothing has went wrong which is really great. 5 Years and no problems so far. I would recommend this to my friends in a heartbeat its the perfect refrigerator for a very suprising affordable price. Overall this item is just perfect if I could do it over again I would buy it all over again.

"Kenmore Elite"
I purchased a Kenmore Stainless Steel Elite refridgerator three years ago along with a service plan. Since than I have had to have a repair man out four times. Now the refridgerator's interior is cracking all over and looks like an old old refridgerator. Sears answer to these cracks is to put sealant on them. I figure if I pay $3000 for a refridgerator I shouldn't have to look at the cracks. The repairman they send to my house is always late or doesn't show up at all. He than lies to the service call center and states I am not home. DO NOT purchase this refridgerator!

"Kenmore Refrigerator Falls Short"
I have owned a Kenmore Coldspot side by side refrigerator for 10 years. There are a few features I do like. First, the spill proof shelves inside the refrigerator comes in very handy. It is much easier to clean when kids accidentally knock over a small cup of juice. Second, the shelves are very easy to remove, making them easy to cleanâ€"just slide them out and rinse them over the sink. Third, it comes with a humidity control compartment which keeps vegetables fresh for a longer period of time. The problems I have had with the refrigerator, however, over-shadow these features. First, the temperature control on the refrigerator does not seem to work very well. In one temperature setting, the refrigerator barely feels cold and milk would go bad very quickly. Turn the temperature down just one notch and the vegetables would freeze at the bottom compartment. Second, the ice machine in the freezer gets jammed all the time. Every so often, I would have to use a mallet to break up the ice so ice would actually come out properly. Third, the plastic controls to enable/disable the ice from coming out is made of really cheap plastic. Within a few years of use, the plastic cracked. Finally, I just don't like the side by side model. It is really hard to put larger pieces of meat in the freezer. I prefer freezers that sit at the bottom of the refrigerator, where the compartment is very wide. Overall, the Kenmore refrigerator works, but I wouldn't recommend it to others.

"A look at the pros and cons of a side by side door Kenmore refrigerator"
I purchased a Kenmore side-by-side door refrigerator seven years ago. It has an automatic icemaker and filtered water dispenser on the front and was happy with it the first 13 months. After 13 months, the icemaker broke and had to have it replaced. All went well for about two years, and then the same thing happened again. I had it replaced once more and with in another two years; same thing happened. I did not repair it this last time and am using ice cube trays now, which I dump the ice into the dispenser, as the ice cubes will still come out of the front if there is ice in the bin. The water dispenser has always worked fine, but I find that the price of the filters to be over priced and they need to be changed every six months. I would not recommend this brand and model number to anyone, as the icemakers seem defective.

Review:
"Worth the Price I Paid, but Nothing More"
I have owned this refrigerator since Black Friday (November of 2010). I waited nearly 10 hours in the frigid Wisconsin temp for this refrig. It has great features, but some issues as well. The strengths include a beautiful stainless finish, convenient ice and water dispenser, and great bottom freezer. The dispenser is easy accessed, has a great push-button selector, and a light for dispensing. It also has an LED display for freezer and fridge temps. The issues are that the ice maker takes up the entire left french door. Due to the freezer, the upper fridge portion does not handle tall containers (milk, juice, lemonade, etc.). We had to clear nearly all shelves on one side of the fridge to make room for these tall containers. This then eats up the amount of stuff we can hold. Overall, the looks and other features of this fridge make it worth the amount I paid for it ($1,000). I wouldn't, however, pay what they are currently asking for it (between $1,500-1,900). Look for something without the wasted space caused by the dispenser.
