ExtendFresh™ Plus Temperature Management System

Ensures ingredients remain fresh for maximum taste and texture using a sensor-controlled system with a variable-capacity compressor. There is one thermistor in the freezer and one thermistor in the refrigerator.

Interior Water Dispenser

provides easy access to filtered water and is conveniently located for one-hand operation.

Produce Preserver

Absorbs ethylene gas emitted by many fruits and vegetables, causing them to over ripen. By removing ethylene, the produce preserver helps extend freshness.

Additional Features

Overlay Panel-Ready

Allows the refrigerator to be customized to match surrounding cabinets with custom panels and handles (not included).

Humidity Controlled Crispers

Provide a dedicated storage option with adjustable humidity levels to keep fresh food in an optimal environment.

FreshChill™ Temperature-Controlled Full-Width Pantry

Lets you properly store everything from meats to produce with a manual temperature setting. It gives you total control over of the amount of cool air that enters the drawer.

LED Lighting

Illuminates the inside of the refrigerator and freezer giving for better visibility. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED lights use less energy, are maintenance-free and never need to be replaced.

Automatic Ice Maker

Ensures a constant supply of ice on hand at all times for entertaining and everyday use.

Max Cool

When selected, automatically adjusts the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer to the lowest setting when appropriate. This keeps the refrigerator at the ideal temperature when loading groceries, the doors are frequently opened or in higher room temperatures.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter50 from Better than expected Part of a KitchenAid suite for our kitchen. Big improvements over our French door Jenn-air from previous house. Well designed layout both upper and freezer. Improved produce drawers, better shelving, generous door storage and great 3 layers in freezer to separate storage.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Alison from Calgary from Just Ok We purchased this fridge 18 months ago. Like and the reasons* we purchased the fridge: - panel ready* - inside water dispenser* - ice dispenser* Dislike: - glass shelves don't go all the way to the back of the fridge, food falls down the back, doesn't hold as much as our previous similar kitchenaid - have to keep the fridge setting warmer to keep veggies from freezing - French doors really bang when the fridge closes - deli tray is ok. Would be nice to have separators for this large drawer

Rated 1 out of 5 by s_foo from Misleading design specs and poor customer service We purchased the KitchenAid KRFC302EPA01 panel-ready refrigerator directly from Whirlpool to complete our custom kitchen renovation. What was supposed to be a premium, built-in look has turned into a nightmare that’s been dragging on for over eight months. Despite following the installation guide exactly and having a professional team (designer, contractor, and appliance installer) handle it, the fridge doors can’t open properly. Whirlpool’s own engineering team later admitted the issue was due to insufficient side clearance, but this crucial requirement was never disclosed on the product page or during purchase—only buried deep in the owner’s manual, which no one reasonably reads before buying an appliance. As a result, the fridge now scrapes our walls, damages nearby cabinetry, and doesn’t function as intended. What’s worse is that many customers have faced the same issue, yet Whirlpool continues to sell this model without fixing the misleading specs. After spending hours over multiple calls trying to resolve this, customer service finally told us the only solution was to send a physical letter by mail to Whirlpool’s head office—a shocking suggestion in 2025. We did exactly that, and after eight months, there has still been no response, no accountability, and no resolution (issue began March 2025 and we are still waiting for a response as of today, November 2025) We spent thousands on this fridge, expecting quality and transparency from KitchenAid. Instead, we’re left with a useless, damaging appliance at the center of our home, and a company that refuses to stand behind its own product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by deepee3 from HORRIBLE STAY AWAY horrible look - no way is it "counter depth" or panel ready. Juts out like an ugly sore thumb like everyone elses pictures. I don't know how this is even legal advertising it as panel ready or counter depth. What a waste of money. DO NOT BUY. just get a normal fridge if doing a built in fridge is out of the budget, this is WAY WORSE than a normal fridge look. one big mistake. beware, kitchen aid you are a thief for not accuretly describing the product or providing pictures of a finish installed look.
