Refrigerator Drawers
A drawer refrigerator has an area at the bottom that houses the freezer. Drawer refrigerators are designed to sit flush with cabinetry, allowing for sleek design and seamless integration. There are models in different sizes and features. Some come with cutting-edge storage and energy efficiency features. Some offer temperature control that is customizable, allowing you to determine the ideal temperature for the food you want to cook.
The drawers of a french door fridge have adjustable shelves and space for taller items like soda bottles and gallons of milk. The right side is a smaller compartment that's ideal for storing condiments and snacks. The left side features a medium-sized drawer that can be used for vegetables, or a drawer that's ideal for storing drinks such as water bottles and wine bottles. There are models that have an additional pantry where you can store larger items like canned soup or frozen vegetables.
You can also add an external ice-maker to your kitchen when you have a drawer refrigerator that has an ice maker built in.

They are also energy efficient and typically come with advanced cooling and insulation technology.
While there are plenty of benefits to owning an appliance with a drawer, it's important to keep in mind the maintenance requirements. Make sure to keep your refrigerator clean to avoid the growth of mold and bacteria. Also, you should examine and replace the filters on a regular basis to ensure the best water quality. Defrosting your fridge manually at least twice a yearly will prevent the accumulation of ice and frost.

While side-by-side refrigerators are an excellent choice for certain areas, they offer smaller refrigerator and freezer space than French door models. That said, some of the top models we've reviewed have a combination of both a side by side and French door design to make the most of the space available. Some models even come with a door-indoor feature that allows you to store beverages and snacks without opening the refrigerator's main compartment.

Temperature Controls
A French door refrigerator's temperature controls ensure that food items are fresh and in good condition. A fridge with distinct drawers controlled by humidity for instance, can keep frozen foods safe from moisture that could affect their flavor and nutrients over time. It is also essential to keep your refrigerator from being overcrowded to ensure that air circulation is effectively. Overcrowding your refrigerator can cause it to overheat, which can lead to food spoiling more quickly.
The top French door refrigerators are incredibly reliable and come with a range of storage options. Some come with adjustable shelves and humidity-controlled drawers that allow you to personalize your refrigerator's interior to suit particular needs. Others have unique smart features such as door alarms and app controls.
If the temperature settings of your refrigerator aren't precise or the appliance is overheating, you may need to replace its sensor. The sensor uses a beam of infrared light to determine the level of ice in the freezer. The refrigerator's icemaker shuts down when the ice level is at the sensor. If the ice level does not reach the sensor, the refrigerator's ice maker could be damaged and needs to be replaced.
You can usually determine your refrigerator's temperature by using the control pad or consulting the manual. Some models also have an ice sensor which detects when the ice container is full. This system helps prevent overproduction and waste by shutting off the maker of ice when the basket is full.

For instance, a fridge equipped with an ice sensor can be set to store frozen meats at less temperature than other food items because it will keep them more moist and soft.
