Smart counter depth 4-Door Flex refrigerator features the AutoFill Water Pitcher, a built-in pitcher that automatically refills with fresh, filtered water and a Dual Ice Maker with Ice Bites.
A: You've asked some great questions, Mellow! While all the water features of this model will use the same waterline connection, you can still choose which features you'd like to use. In fact, according to pages 41-45 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/3jiJv1o) you can turn the auto-fill pitcher and ice maker on or off independently of each other. I can also confirm that this model does have door bins that have been rated to hold a full gallon jug. ^Jecca
Q: Does the ice maker refill automatically or manually?
A: Great question, Jason! The ice maker will continue to produce ice automatically until the ice bucket is full. When the sensor determines the bucket is full, it will temporarily pause ice production until some ice has been removed. There is also an option on the control panel to manually turn the ice maker off. This will prevent ice from being produced until it is manually turned back on. ^Jecca
A: My cabinets are right at 71 inches and my fridge slid in fine with room to spare. the hinges being at the front of the fridge never touch the upper cabinets. I measure 72 inches including the hinges.
Q: can you use the water dispenser without the pitcher?
A: Not on this model - there is one model up that has "drink station" with regular dispenser. Also note that my unit had some chemical taste resembling rubber gaskets used in the water line / I had to infuse the water with lemon changed daily to mask that taste.
Q: Will a half sheet pan fit in the freezer?is the freezer deep enough for that?
A: I looked up a half sheet and it is 18 x 13. A half sheet will not fit on the shelf by itself, if you remove a door shelf it might. I doubt it though. Depends how much extra room is needed for the actual size of the pan. Baskets are 9 x 13, however will not fit cake pan because the actual pan is a bit larger than 9 x 13 due to edges. Shelves are 15 x 15 Door shelves are 3 x 13 Water pitcher is 6 cups and takes less than a minute to fill.
Q: In addition to the water pitcher does it also have a water dispenser by it?
A: No, just the pitcher.
Q: How do I purchase and change out a door if it is scratched/damaged?
A: Order the panel that can be exchanged.
