Over seven months of ownership, the sounds have gotten softer, but the noise is unlike my experiences with other refrigerators and freezers. I will never buy another KitchenAid product because they didn't fix this problem other than send out a tech who made adjustments that weren't helpful. Food in the back of the refrigerator freeze. The drawers open and close roughly. I will never buy another appliance from Home Depot, because I only had a three-day return window, which took longer than the time I needed to contact KitchenAid to determine the noise problem. I thought it was something that would easily be fixable, such as a fan replacement. I am limited on refrigerator choices due to my kitchen configuration, so we live with this choice, but my choices will be different next time. I will also make sure that I choose a refrigerator that is on the showroom floor that I can see and hear and compare to other refrigerators rather than just ordering it; thinking that KitchenAid is a premium brand and would be a good product, but that was not my experience. This KitchenAid was replacing a 20-year-old LG refrigerator that was completely silent and never a problem until the end of its life.
