Kenmore Elite 79043 24.1 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator in Stainless Steel, includes delivery and hookup

This review is on the Sears Kenmore model 93919 bottom freezer refrigerator (Keep in mind that Amazon lumps together several models in their reviews.) The unit replaces a 10 year old inexpensive freezer-on-top Kenmore that was keeping temperature erratically even after cleaning its coils.The 93919 isn't one that was reviewed by Consumers Reports, but it's similar. I found that ordering through Amazon has several advantages. I paid the same price as at the local Sears and received the same discount too. It was delivered as promised within two working days at during the time range specified when I placed the order. (Sears Online promised 5 working days, or a week, more or less. ) Removal of the old and installation of the new went quite well. The two employees acted professionaly, didn't rush, didn't damage anything, and coordinated the work with me. I'm happy with it overall. The ice maker does sound slightly louder than than the previous one I had, but it's not anything I would object to. I'm not sleeping next to it!It has separate freezer and refrigerator temperature controls. I wish it had temperature readouts, instead of just a scale from 0 to 7. I'm keeping it on the same setting of 4. So far I'm satisfied with the temperatures.The LCD interior lights are bright. The freezer and ice maker on bottom does the job.I would buy similar products from Amazon again.One week later: The fridge is perking along just fine.

I bought this refrigerator because it was the size I needed and it had great reviews, even in Consumer Digest. It is less than 18 months old, I am a single individual so I know there’s no abuse to the shelving. I opened the refrigerator and noticed the crisper drawers hanging crooked. The plastic horizontal bracket/bar support behind the drawers is attached to a plastic rail that the drawers slide on. The horizontal support cracked causing the slide rail to snap off. I would describe it as a stress fracture. I called Sears. This Kenmore is built by Whirlpool. It has been out of warranty for six months but the good news is, per overseas operator, I can buy a replacement part for only $200. There is no way an 18 month old, $1200 ”Kenmore” refrigerator should need $200 in parts. And since I’m telling you how much I dislike this refrigerator right now, I have always disliked how loud it is and that it always sounds like there’s water running to it, even though there is no ice maker hooked up. Because of the sounds coming from this refrigerator, I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to replace it within a year. I wouldn’t waste my having it repaired. Very disappointed in the Kenmore name.

We've had our new refrigerator for about a week now and are thrilled with our purchase. I was a bit skeptical purchasing a large appliance on Amazon, especially with the limited reviews (3) when I purchased, but I was pleasantly surprised with how everything worked out. The price was great for the quality of the fridge. The LED interior lighting is bright and modern, temperature control has been great, and it is very spacious. For awhile we looked at French door refrigerators but we were deterred by the price. We ultimately decided that a bottom freezer fridge with comparable features would work well for us and allow us to pay much less, and so far that has been the case. So far, there aren't any cons about the refrigerator to note, but I will be sure to update my review with any issues we encounter in the future.In terms of the delivery, the delivery guys were great, taking time to help me move my old refrigerator out of the way and get the old water line disconnected. They were very careful bringing the new fridge in and were more than willing to provide any needed assistance. If the price is right, I would definitely look to Amazon for an appliance purchase again in the future.

Purchased this fridge March of 2018. Today, not quite 7 years later it is dead. $1600 and dead. Disappointed. Do not recommend.

I bought this based on only seeing 3 people at the time had reviewed it and gave it 5 stars. I am SO happy with my purchase so far (it’s only been about 3 hours). The size is great. The lighting inside is nice. Sturdy shelves on the door. I like the adjustable split shelf. The main reason I went with this fridge was because of the full width pantry drawer! The vegetable drawers are a great size as well. Freezer is nicely setup too. I like that they left no area untouched. The very bottom shelf on the drawer which is small is perfect use of what could’ve been wasted space. I have our string cheese in there and it’s perfect height for the kids to get. If you have little ones like I do then you will appreciate that the door kind of suctions itself shut so it does take some muscle (not bad for an adult) to open. Big bonus is the door alarm!! If my little man opens it and it stays open for 60 seconds and I don’t notice then it will alarm. Over all very happy so far. BIG BONUS. The company that delivered it Innovative Delivery was on time, courteous, respectful and helpful!!
