KitchenAid 30” Bottom Freezer Refrigerator-KFFS20EYMS02

Key Features:

• French Door Design: This refrigerator features two narrow doors for the fresh food compartment on its upper section. These doors swing open from the center, providing a wide and easily accessible view of all your refrigerated items. The freezer section is a convenient pull-out drawer positioned at the bottom.
• Capacity: It offers a total internal storage capacity of approximately 19.6 to 19.7 cubic feet. This is considered a good capacity for a 30-inch wide French door refrigerator, generally well-suited for average-sized families.
  • Refrigerator Capacity: Typically around 13.3 cubic feet.
  • Freezer Capacity: Approximately 6.3 cubic feet.
• ExtendFresh™ Plus Temperature Management System: This system incorporates sensors in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Its purpose is to help ensure consistent temperatures throughout the unit, which aims to keep ingredients fresh for optimal taste and texture. It often works in conjunction with a variable-capacity compressor.
• FreshChill™ Temperature-Controlled Full-Width Pantry: A versatile, full-width drawer that allows you to manually adjust the amount of cold air flowing into it. This feature enables proper storage conditions for various food items, from deli meats and cheeses to specific types of produce.
• Produce Preserver: This specialized feature functions by absorbing excess ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is naturally emitted by many fruits and vegetables and can accelerate their ripening process. By removing this gas, the Produce Preserver helps to extend the freshness and shelf life of your produce.
• FreshFlow™ Air Filter: Designed to continuously circulate air through an active carbon filter within the refrigerator. This helps to minimize odor transfer and maintain a fresh-smelling interior (the filter is typically recommended for replacement every 6 months).
• Slide-Away Spill-Proof Glass Shelves: The main refrigerator shelves are constructed from durable tempered glass with raised edges to help contain any spills. A standout feature is their ability to either slide back or fold away, providing flexible storage options to accommodate taller items like bottles or pitchers.
• Humidity-Controlled Crispers: It includes two dedicated crisper drawers (often one larger and one smaller/mini) with adjustable humidity controls. These provide optimal conditions to keep fresh produce at its best.
• Single-Hand Interior Water Dispenser: This model features a filtered water dispenser conveniently located inside the fresh food compartment. It dispenses water that has passed through a PUR® filtration system, reducing contaminants from tap water.
• Factory-Installed Automatic Ice Maker: Produces ice automatically and stores it in a removable bin within the freezer compartment.
• LED Interior Lighting: The interior of both the refrigerator and freezer compartments is illuminated with bright, energy-efficient LED lighting, providing clear visibility and making it easy to find items.
• Electronic Up-Front Controls: Easy-to-use electronic controls are typically located at the top of the fresh food compartment, allowing for convenient temperature adjustments and feature monitoring. These controls usually include a water filter indicator and reset button.
• Sabbath Mode (Star-K Certified): This feature allows the refrigerator to be used on the Jewish Sabbath and other religious holidays by disabling certain automatic functions.
• Contoured Doors with Hidden Hinges: The exterior design features elegantly contoured doors and concealed hinges, contributing to a sleek, integrated, and modern appearance.
• ENERGY STAR® Qualified: Meets stringent energy efficiency guidelines, contributing to lower utility bills.

Compressor Type:

• KitchenAid, being a brand under the Whirlpool Corporation, typically utilizes reciprocating compressors in their refrigerators, including models from this particular era. While some marketing materials might refer to a "variable-capacity compressor" in the context of temperature management, this generally refers to an advanced form of reciprocating compressor rather than a linear (inverter) type, which is more commonly associated with LG appliances.
