Our Kenmore side by side has been good overall.
I concur that it means less freezer storage space, but enough for us two.
Hint about the ICEMAKER:
Ours seemed to have quit working.
Thought we'd have an expensive repair or replacement to pay for.
I thought I'd give it one good inspection it myself.
I found ONE small piece of ice was stopping the thing that dumps ice into the bucket.
With my hairdryer, I melted that little piece of ice.
Then I gave the rest of it a good going over with the hairdryer.
Voila, after some time (seemed like forever) the thing started up and has never quit.
Saved us the cost of a service call and who knows what other costs.
I had called a repair man (who had worked on the freezer one time before).
I called him back to cancel, told him what I had done to fix it.
He said he hadn't thought of it before, but likely the water filter from the refrigerator to the freezer (by way of some tubing) was stopped up.
Thus slowing down the ice making action, blocking things.
Something like that! Husband did put a new filter in.
He congratulated me for finding the problem. I congratulated me too!
