•
Up front, electronic touch temperature controls with digital temperature display.
•
An external "air" thermistor changes the control setting based on ambient condition to keep the fresh food and freezer at the correct temperature.
•
Damper/air inlet assembly in the fresh food section creates more usable space on the top shelf.
•
An articulating door mullion attached to the right side door (french door models), provides a movable center mullion that maximizes access to the fresh food compartment.
•
