Kenmore 74202 top-freezer refrigerator

Date Published: 2/21/08

From Kenmore comes the 74202, a very upscale medium-size top-freezer refrigerator with a long list of features you'll welcome.

The ice maker has been made to produce mountains of ice in a relatively short period of time, so there will be plenty of ice when you need it. Both the dispenser and the ice maker run through an integral water filter.

This model has 21.7 cubic feet of space, with 15.2 cubic feet in the main compartment and 6.5 cubic feet in the freezer. It only uses 417 kWh of power annually, so your yearly cost for running this unit is $34, or less than $3 a month. Inside, there are two thermostats to keep your fridge optimally cold.

There are four half-width adjustable/slide-out glass shelves with a spillsaver feature, in addition to a fixed shelf over the two clear-front humidity-controlled crispers. A meat pan/snack drawer and a covered egg bin are also included. The door has three shelves, plus a great sliding utility bin with a tray and a dairy compartment.

The freezer is nicely configured, with one full-width shelf and one adjustable half-width shelf, plus two bins and two tilt-out baskets on the door. This model comes in a choice of white, bisque, black, graphite with ultra-satin front, or graphite with stainless-steel front.

The Kenmore 74202 is a high-performing top-freezer refrigerator that comes standard with a great through-the-door chilled water dispenser, so you can have a cool drink of water any time.



Warranty
