About the KitchenAid 36" 20.8 Cu Ft Counter Depth Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Exterior Ice and Water Dispenser

This is a 36-inch counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator with a factory-installed ice maker and an exterior ice and water dispenser. It holds 20.8 cu ft split between 13.66 cu ft of fresh food space and 7.19 cu ft of freezer space, with two cooling zones, panoramic LED lighting and a door alarm. Counter-depth side-by-sides are a small group; most rivals in this width are standard-depth or French-door models, so this one trades some capacity for a flush fit with cabinets. Owners like the built-in dispenser and the fingerprint-resistant finish, but the 3.8 rating reflects complaints about noise, ice maker trouble and interior room.

Panoramic LED lighting in both compartments
  • Fingerprint-resistant stainless finish
  • Cons
    • 20.8 cu ft is modest for a 36-inch footprint
    • Single evaporator, so the two zones share one cooling system
    • Some owners report noisy operation
    • Ice maker and dispenser complaints appear in owner feedback
    • Narrow side-by-side shelves limit wide items

    What reviewers say

    • 3.8 / 5426 ratings

    Ratings average 3.8 out of 5 across 426 reviews. Owners tend to like the look, the counter-depth fit and the door dispenser, while a sizable share report noise, ice maker problems and less usable space than expected.

    What people mention
    • NoiseCriticisedSome owners say the compressor and fan run louder than expected, especially in open kitchens.
    • Ice makerCriticisedA number of owners report jams, slow ice output or dispenser problems.
    • Counter-depth fitPraisedBuyers like that it sits nearly flush with cabinets instead of jutting into the aisle.
    • Interior spaceMixedThe layout is tidy, but owners say the side-by-side shelves and bins feel tighter than the cubic footage suggests.
    • FinishPraisedThe fingerprint-resistant stainless surface stays cleaner-looking than plain stainless.
    • LightingPraisedPanoramic LED lighting makes both compartments easy to see into.

    Questions and answers

    Is this refrigerator truly counter depth?
    Yes. It is a counter-depth model, 35-1/2 inches wide and 69 inches tall to the top of the cabinet. It needs about 45-3/4 inches of clearance with the door open 90 degrees.
    Does it come with an ice maker?
    Yes. The ice maker is factory installed and feeds the exterior ice and water dispenser, so no separate kit is needed.
    How much food fits?
    Total capacity is 20.8 cu ft: 13.66 cu ft in the refrigerator and 7.19 cu ft in the freezer. That is on the smaller side for a 36-inch side-by-side, so plan around the narrower shelves.
    How does it compare with a French-door refrigerator?
    A French-door model in the same width usually offers more usable width for wide platters and a roomier fresh-food section. This side-by-side wins on the narrow door swing and the built-in dispenser.
    Is it energy efficient?
    It is Energy Star certified and rated at 654 kWh per year, which is reasonable for a refrigerator this size with a dispenser.
    What cooling setup does it use?
    It has two cooling zones driven by a single evaporator with automatic defrost. The refrigerator zone runs between 33 and 45 degrees.
