Best French Door Fridges / Refrigerators

This fridge is next generation, really good ice maker system, so easy to use with no plumbing required. Excellent layout and easy to clean. The extra… Read more

features including the veggie drawer with the special light to extend the life of the veggies and the hot dish freezer plate etc,etc. The reason I purchased this fridge is the technology of the second to none cooling system and all the features bundled into this fridge. Well done Mitsubishi.

Failing just outside warranty – Fridge is just over 5 years old, so just out of warranty. Door flapper failed twice in the less than 12 months. Service technician told us likely… Read more

relay/motherboard issue that is causing them to fail. Contacted Mitsubishi, who came out replaced door flapper and faulty board despite being out of warranty. Technician also sent us a replacement door seal as ours had a small amount of tearing. Great company that stands behind their products.

Disappointed, but it looks nice from the outside! – Have always highly recommended this fridge to everyone in the Facebook groups I'm in. We have an issue with the seals (which seems like a common… Read more

fault), and despite Harvey Norman ringing their representative and him assuring us it would be under warranty, Mitsubishi have said nope, sorry! Won't be recommending it anymore. I don't see them taking accountability for their design fault so I would hate to persuade someone to buy this expensive fridge and then be in my position in 2 years.

Very nice fridge, full width shelves for easy pizza storage. It does fit nicely in the fridge spot but needs room on the sides as the doors need… Read more

about 75mm on each side to open. Auto defrost is a little noisy. Sounds like it has a dialup internet modem included. Freezer has door pockets which is rare from what I've seen on other brands, very handy for small packets. Will definitely buy again when the time comes.

Love this Fridge – Bought this fridge in late November 2021 from Harvey Norman after our 27 year old Westinghouse side x side suddenly died. Didn’t have much time to… Read more

research but came to Product Review to look at real owners opinions. This Mitsubishi fridge was a clear standout - loved the layout and the idea of a separate crisper drawer and the non-plumbed ice maker. We paid $2900-, down from the listed $3299-, including delivery and disposal of the old fridge.

We knew from the reviews that the left hand door flap could be an issue, and from the first week, it was - flap constantly popping open, despite us always using the hidden door handle to open it. Arranged for Mitsubishi to repair under warranty (they were very responsive).

The repairman replaced the door flap as the spring was now not functional. One key thing he mentioned is that when these fridges are delivered, the installers are supposed to remove the very thin long plastic strip on the inside of the door flap which is there for shipping purposes only - but they never do so the strip pushes the spring out of alignment and the flap pops out. It would be good if Mitsubishi perhaps had a tag on this strip advising it needs to be removed upon installation.

Things we love about this fridge:-

- Great functional size - French doors provide wide shelves for platters etc. Shelves are somewhat adjustable - we removed the egg tray from one of the door shelves and took out the top shelf on the LH side so we could have room for more tall bottles. The bottom shelf on either side readily takes 2 x 3L Milk jugs. - The Ice-maker is easy to use and works brilliantly. - The Wide-chilled drawer is handy and the Super-cooling drawer really keeps fresh meat fresher for longer. Drawers are a little wobbly but so far pull out and in fine. - Freezer size is more than adequate. We kept the old wire freezer baskets from our old fridge and 2 fit quite neatly in the new fridge meaning you can separate stuff and just pull out the basket as you need, rather than rummaging around in the big bin. - The separate crisper is great and most vegetables seem to stay fresher for much longer than our old fridge - up to a couple of weeks +. - Glass front does not show fingerprints - so sleek looking and easy to clean. It’s not magnetic so have had to find somewhere else for our fridge magnets, although the fridge sides are magnetic. - Hidden controls in the glass door are easy to use. - The 5 year Warranty and 4 Star Energy rating are unique in the market. - It is super quiet.

Things we don’t like:- - Nothing really. Were having some problems with Lettuce wilting. The repairman gave some advice that because the crisper is a drier environment to keep fruit and veg fresher it can dry out moisture rich food like lettuce more quickly. It’s best to always store lettuce in plastic (we were using mesh bags). He also said it’s best to store veg in the RH side of the crisper as that is where the air from the fridge enters first and it flows left (it is slightly warmer). We keep our flour and rice in the other crisper bay.

FaultCode20 Flapper Heater - Wire broken! The fridge beeps 20 times (exact) when opening the door for this fault, the code is also shown on the… Read more

diagnostic display (see graphics how to read that one).

What I did to repair: Remove the cover at the bottom of the flapper (1 screw), and you see a pair of wires going to the bottom end of the heater built into the flapper. Turns you can pull down the heater - pulling it down just a little makes it much easier to disconnect the plug. Once disconnected, I measured resistance of heater as 38ohm. Odd, because other sources (including AI and youtube videos) suggest it should be 15ohm...

Next I remove the cover at the top of the left door - there you can unplug the connector, and access the wire going to the heater. A paper clip slides nicely into the end of the connector (both top and bottom end), and I was able to confirm that one of the wires has an open circuit with my multimeter. Pulling (hard) on that wire reveals where the wire is broken.

I removed the flapper (first remove the spring), and then you can see where the wire comes from: from behind the door seal (see photo). With the wire separated at the break, I pushed some heatshrink over one end, soldered them back together, and moved the heatshrink to cover it up. That fixed it! (fingers crossed this lasts the remaining life of the fridge)

Final comment to Fisher & Paykel: the flimsy thin/poor quality wire is pre-programmed to fail eventually, as it has to make the 90deg move of the flapper every time you open/close the left door.

Like the fridge, but reassembling it after cleaning is IMPOSSIBLE! Looks good, works well, is nice and quiet. BUT, if you take anything out of it and… Read more

then try to reassemble? A nightmare. Yes, there are videos and instructions. The videos are poor quality, too fast and ignore or skip over essential bits. A power failure happened while I was away and the freezer had to be taken apart to clean. I discovered later that F&P ‘do not recommend’ that you do this. What you are supposed to do when you have a freezer part full of tomato gunk that defrosted, ran everywhere inside and then refrozen is ignored. I had to finally get a technician in at considerable expense to do it, after I and others had spent enormous time and effort trying to follow the skimpy instructions. I am now stuck again, dammit, after the veggie containers needed to be thoroughly cleaned. I simply canNOT figure out how to get 2 little plastic clips back and into their places and nothing will work until or unless I do. It’s enough to make me buy a new fridge and no, I won’t be buying F&P again. Pity, I was a long term customer until this fridge. Terrible.

9yrs on and still going strong.So quiet & remains a consistent temperature throughout the fridge & freezer. Easy to clean inside outside. I use Hillmark steel clean for the stainless steel. Show details

purchased this fridge less than five years ago, and it has already broken down—well before the warranty has expired. That in itself is unacceptable… Read more

for what should be a long-term appliance. What makes this worse is the terrible service I’ve received trying to get it repaired. I contacted the repairs team and have been repeatedly put off, with no real sense of urgency or accountability. I’ve now been told I have to wait three weeks just for a repair to be organized. Not completed—just organized. I’ve explained multiple times that this is a fridge, a basic household necessity, and that we can’t go without one for weeks. They clearly do not care. Their attitude shows a complete lack of respect for the customer and no understanding of how important timely service is when it comes to appliances like this. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience, and I would strongly caution anyone against buying this product. Poor build quality, and even worse after-sales support. Avoid.

Dissapointing warranty service – Buyer beware! Trying to get warranty on this fridge has been extremely difficult. No body ever calls us back, even though they say they will.… Read more

Request to speak to a manager were ignored. 3 weeks after lodging the warranty we still don't have a fridge and are told it will be another week. At this stage we just need a fridge and have requested a refund so that we can just go and buy a new fridge, but this required manager approval, but he won't return our calls. Wont be buying Whirlpool again.

UPDATE 7 Weeks have now passed with countless hours and outright lies from Arisit (The warranty provider) and the replacement fridge has finally been delivered.... To the wrong service agent. And yes we had to chase it up with the courier to find this out. Arisit should have know this was the wrong service agent as he refused the job request 7 weeks ago, and would not answer any calls from Arisit. One can only wonder how long the fridge would have sat in someone's driveway if we had not contacted the courier directly. Given the incredible effort we have made to progress the warranty claim this far, I feel certain that the warranty would never have been honoured if we had just lodged via standard process. There is no way to contact Whirlpool to let them know about this warranty service disaster. I hope that they are reading this and reach out to us. we have lost a lot of food and during a hot summer 2 months is a long time to be without a fridge... Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Whirlpool warranty disaster.

This is a great fridge. I would recommend it to anyone wanting one. If I need another fridge outside o would buy one. Show details

Love this fridge, I have had this fridge for 4 years as I upgraded from an LG. I didn't know what I was missing out on! This fridge keeps my food so… Read more

much fresher than the LG ever did, I had a warranty issue with LG in less than a year it stopped working and the warranty process was a nightmare but with Hitachi we had a little bit of glass that came broken on the bottom of one of the doors and they had someone out with a new door within a couple of days and i live in a rural area so this is lightning fast!! The process was sooo easy and they were so pleasant and helpful. Another plus for us is unlike other companies they'll have a local technician repair if you need warranty unlike other brands that use tech1 where your waiting 6 months - a year for a resolution. Honestly I can't reccommend Hitachi enough they've been amazing and our fridge is amazing and id never hesitate to buy another.

Looks great. Quiet. But the door mechanism for the left door hinge is a bit flaky. However, other than a buggy web form, Mitsubishi were super quick… Read more

to get someone out to fix (seems like a known issue) and the repairer was fantastic and quick

So yes - still a huge fan of the fridge and the brand.

Thank you!

WARNING... DO NOT BUY LG!! We purchased a top‑of‑the‑line LG instaview fridge less than five years ago, and it’s already stopped working — two… Read more

separate LG approved repair technicians inspected it and admitted it couldn’t be fixed. After hours upon hours wasted on the phone, being shuffled between lying service reps and a management team that never bothered to respond, LG’s idea of “support” was offering a little over $1,000 toward a replacement—even though the same fridge now costs nearly $5,000—and a pathetic $150 food reimbursement when we lost more than $1,500 in groceries alone. This brand has been nothing but stress, expense, and dishonesty. Stay far away from LG. I will never buy another LG product again and recommend you do not waste your money!!

Having upgraded from a smaller LG, this Hitachi has done nothing but impress so far. It's quiet, cools well, have had no issues so far. The touch… Read more

screen on the front is good, it's very spacious, the inbuilt ice machine works great, no plumbing required. It is quite tall and wide, and collects fingerprints easily, but these are easy to wipe off. The vacuum compartment is small and it's hard to say whether it's worth using over the regular drawers but it's functional.

After putting up with my husband’s 15yr old top-mount Electrolux fridge, I’ve been desperate for a multi-drawer fridge. After much research we ended… Read more

up with this fridge, which I couldn’t be more pleased with. Much better functionality and layout, larger volume, thoughtful features such as the superchill drawer to keep meats fresher for longer, and the separate veggie drawer. Has only been a 3 weeks but can’t fault it so far. I have noticed my strawberries lasting MUCH longer before going soft - previously we would be lucky to get 5days out of them but I had forgot and left a 3 day new pack in the veggie drawer before a 5 day coastal holiday and we came home and they are STILL fresh!

Will update review at a later point after we’ve had this for a year, hopefully the Mitsubishi/Japanese quality stands up (though this version is made in Thailand!)

the circuit board? And expected me to know they were there and clean that even though theres a clear sign stating do not remove, authorised repairer only. . Fridge is in a wall cavity. Disappointed this big machine could attract so many roaches to the circuit board in such a short time. Had a Fisher & Paykel before this for 10 years + and no issues.

Only lasts for 3 years – Had this fridge less than three years. Have had two technicians have a look at it and both have said it's not economical to repair it. Contacted… Read more

Haier and was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up other technicians mess and I would have to pay for another service fee for them to see if it's repairable. If it's not repairable they said they would offer a discount on a new one. I am aware the warranty is only two years but you would expect more than three years out of appliance at that cost.

The door inserts also cracked within the first year and the stainless steel is not so stainless.

have had to stay home cancelled a day out and here I am with a five months old fridge that I bought from Aldi, it was bad enough not to be told I had to unpack it, the delivery did not happen until later at night, another day wasted, so here I am again waiting for the technician. Aldi should be responsible for there products. I certainly won’t recommend Aldi online for any products.

We purchased this fridge for our new home in August of 2024. MODEL ID RF605QUAA The fridge itself is OK as is the freezer. The ice making and cold… Read more

water features are also ok. The issue is the black mat finish of the fridge. I was concerned about a the black mat finish and worried about finger prints, my concerns were dismissed and we were told that finger prints were not an issue, this is an absolute fabrication. The black mat finish shows every single mark and is extremely difficult to clean. You should not need to work up a sweat to get finger prints off a fridge door. It is also very difficult to clean where the fruit and vegetable crispers slide in and out.

i would not recommend this product.

Do not buy this fridge. It has only lasted not even three years and I have been told that the compressor has failed by a repairer for the Good Guys… Read more

Gold Class Service Extras. This Service Extras is s joke just like this fridge. I requested a replacement by the Good Guys as their repairer has stuffed us around and they dont care. I haven’t had a working fridge since 16th August and no one cares about customer service or resolving the issue. Based on the comments looks like I am not the only one being stuffed around and this fridge should be recalled. Never buying LG again.

We bought this Fridge from Appliances Online. It had a 2 Year Warranty. Even though we SHOULD NOT need to an Extra Warranty (because of Australian… Read more

Consumer Law) we purchased an extra Warranty for three years. Towards the end of the 2 Year Warranty, the fridge stopped. Wiring had broken connecting the front control panel on right door, at hinge point. The wire had been put on too tight. Last week, the light went off, when the fridge door was opened. Strange? My husband turned it off, then back on again. And the light continued working. But - inside started to smell like something had rotted. And the TOP SECTION OF THE FRIDGE IS NOT COOLING. Thank God, THE FREEZER DRAW SECTION IS STILL WORKING (for how long??) I went into the Haier site to complain. Surprisingly, I was told by the Haier Service Agent - and I quote, as follows;- For your model, there is a known issue where the defrost system can cause evaporator icing, leading to a loss of cooling in the fridge section. Haier has issued Field Fix Kit to resolve this, which includes a replacement power board, defrost fuse, and a PE pad, along with instructions to remove any ice buildup. End of quote. We may have to pay for call out, because our Warranties have ended. We are 58 days out of All the Warranties. Is Haier operating a "Planned Obsolescence"? Here is what my husband and I want. We demand to have our fridge replaced. Failing that - as a token of goodwill - we want the Field Fix Kit installed in our fridge - AT NO COST TO OURSELVES. Two Major failures in just over 5 years IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! We were delighted when we first for this Fridge! It absolutely ticked all our boxes. And now, it's just another drain on our life. P.s.If there is a Field Kit, for our fridge, obviously because Many, many others, have had this issue, why didn't Appliances Online contact us, to let us know? Or, do they simply wait until everything in the fridge perishes, we start screaming and THEN the act? Doesn't seem like Good Customer Service either. P.p.s. attached is a photo of our Kelvinator Fridge. Impression Series 300. It's what we're using now to tide us over until the Haier is fixed. How old is our Kelvinator, you may ask? Well, it was part of a pigeon pair when we moved into our house in 1980 - they MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT make White Goods like they used to. *Sigh*

Fridge is great, but the ice maker lets it down – Love the The fridge as it’s roomy and easy to clean and great access with the two big doors which makes it so much easier to get and see food that’s… Read more

in the fridge. No hidey holes for food to get hidden in. Perfect, however the icemaker would have to be the worst one on the market. It’s continues to spit ice out at a super fast speed even after you have stopped pressing the button. It’s spits it out of your glass and onto the floor. It’s also super slow at making ice and runs out so fast. We are lucky and have another really good ice maker in our other fridge. Update: ice maker and water are not working, so they think it’s because I use a generic water filter and now the entire water filter unit also needs to be replaced. I just ordered a smeg filter and it cost me $146 incl delivery, got to be joking and who knows what it’s going to cost to replace the filter unit. Not happy, it’s a rort.

confirming average temp > 7° C. Manufacturer said they would fix but give it was less than 2 weeks old I asked for a replacement. The replacement is now (in fridge) freezing goods at -10° C despite being set at 3. The local repair person has been good. Harvey Norman we’re good and the manufacturer could not have cared less about their product.

and was worried it’ll be too big but it worked out perfect! So spacious, fits everything we need and it has handy and well designed storage drawers. It’s sleek and looks nice in our kitchen and the french doors are great. It does show finger marks but it’s not too bad. The water dispenser is great, it provides chilled water which is not warm nor freezing cold and I find it to be just the right cool temperature of water. The ice maker is fabulous and ice is always available on demand. The fridge is not noisy at all but when the ice drops here and there you will hear it if you’re in the same room. The freezer is massive and fits everything we need. Overall great fridge for a good price, I have seen mixed reviews so if any issues do occur I’ll update the review but overall happy currently.

error codes. Freezer back wall both sides all frosted. Intial technician assessed said fridge faulty. Fridge at 5 degrees and freezer was at 0 degrees. He recommended an exchange of unit. But Case Manager insisted ice maker only needs changing. When I refused as I had been experiencing further issues and reporting back to Samsung theirs more issues then the ice maker prior to the technician coming out. I didnt want technicians coming every week to assess and try to fix issues one after another. technician know is been rebooked to come out next Friday. However the case manager told their agreed company to change freezer wall and pcb unit only. I explained to the staff memeber that only a re inspection has been organised again by the case manager so a detailed report is written outlining all the issues. She was suprised to hear that and said the instructions were clear. I emailed the case manager who said he only organised an re-inspection. So as to who the technician company came up with detailed descriptions of what needed to be chamged i have no idea. Thats when i literally flipped and thought why am i even going through all this stress. Already been 3 weeks. Apparently the case manager is the highest level i can reach who isnt listening. Literally Samsung for me is disaster with poor service and bad customercare. . Only in respect for myself im not using the case managers name. But the technician well he was amazing. Knew exactly what he was doing. Wasn't his fault that Samsung hadn't provided him with all the details from the beginning. SOMETHING I FORGOT TO TELL THEM WAS IT WAS USING UP ALOT OF ENERGY TOO as displayed on the hub. That part of the hub works I suppose. Today i emailed Samsung customer services and to case manager Formal letter of complaint as recommended by consumers affires. Im literally upset mostly due to the lack of communication and poor response time ive been repeating my self since the 27th of January the day after i raised my initial concern. I purchased directly from Samsung and traded my $7000 fridge. I thought buying directly would provide better service. Im so over it. If they offer me a refund I will simply take it.

the doors meant taller bottles and items could only go into this section. If you go for the slimline versions think about the height problem inside. The lack of stars in the review is because it only lasted 5 years and then conked out. No benefit in trying to fix as would be half the cost of a new fridge. Short life of appliances seems to be an LG issue these days (same with an LG washing machine we had - victim there of LG's woeful customer service). We would not trust anything from LG now.

the options! Having the left bottom section as a choice between -17 or 7 degrees makes it perfect for parties. There is a section designed for your wine or beer bottles. Up top the shelves move up or down but they also have a neat hinge you lift so bottles can fit, without moving the shelf up. Clever design, It’s the sheer choice of what you want and it’s just there. Wine holders drop down up top. The crisper is keeping everything fresh. The snack compartment is great for berries or chocolate treats. The plumbed water and ice is a must in Queensland, the grey metal doesn’t show up finger marks. And it’s so quiet. Energy efficient 3.5 ⭐️ esp when you aren’t opening four doors. Just the one. And the doors have deep shelves. Again with a variety of options depending on your food and drink. This is a great design. The price dropped from $4k. Maybe a new one soon but I don’t care. I’m a happy new fridge owner - for the next 15 years. Highly recommend you buy before the price goes up.
