Solid fridge for the price with some caveats

We're only a few weeks in, but we are enjoying the fridge so far and happy with the purchase. It's nice looking and seems to do a good job of keeping things cold, which is, after all, it's primary function. The noise level was higher than expected when we first turned it on, but the fridge was busy getting to temperature so that is to be expected. The sound level has since leveled off. Though if the ice machine is on it is noisier than it is when it's off. But that's normal I think. We do wish there was more space on the lower door shelves. We have lots of condiments we would love to store there, but it's only two bottles deep which forces us to use the bigger fridge shelves to store the rest of the condiments, which isn't great. Maybe we need to cut back on the sauces. But we're going to look into purchasing another shelf for the door. The other downer is something other people have commented on. The control panel on the side of the door is flat out stupid. The placement is such that if the door is open for any length of time, you will accidentally touch it. You'll hear a beep and then you'll have to check to make sure you didn't accidentally adjust something. We've already accidentally turned off the water once and adjusted the temperature in the freezer and fridge at least twice. It's a bad design. They should've put some sort of lock on it that you'd have to hold down to unlock the control panel. Instead, there's a five second delay or something. So, if the door is open for longer than five seconds you could (and eventually will) accidentally push something. I read this warning in other reviews and thought people were being too picky and that we'd be able to avoid the issue, but... nope. It's real. And it's a pain. But, again, it is a solid fridge for the money thus the 4 star rating. But seriously, how did that design flaw make it out of the testing phase?
