Soft Self-Close Doors

ensure doors close quietly and gently, helping to prevent slamming. Additionally, it enhances your cooking experience by automatically closing doors when left slightly ajar.

FreshChill Temperature-Controlled Drawer

makes it easy to customize storage temperatures for different types of ingredients, helping to maintain freshness. Simply turn the dial to choose from presets for Meat, Produce, Deli and Assorted Items.

Wood-Look Finish Sliding Storage Trays

keeps serving platters and ingredients easily accessible. The tray removes fully for easy cleaning.

Exterior Water and Ice Dispenser with Measured Fill

conveniently dispenses filtered ice and water without opening the door. Measured Fill allows you to select and dispense the exact amount you need or presets of 8, 16 and 24 ounces.

Personalized Door Stop

tailors your refrigerator to suit your space by setting the door to stop at 90°, 110° or 130°. This prevents the door from swinging open too wide, giving you the flexibility to load or find ingredients without hitting counters or handles.

FreshFlow Air Filter

deodorizes 15x better than baking soda. The replaceable carbon-based filter neutralizes common food odors for up to 6 months.

Ultra-Bright LED Lighting

gradually brightens to fully illuminate the freezer and refrigerator, making it easy to find what you need.
