Overview
The Forno Salerno FFRBI1844-36SB is a 36 inch built-in style refrigerator with two upper doors for fresh food and two bottom freezer drawers, totaling 20 cubic feet with a factory ice maker and water dispenser. Best suited to kitchens with cutout space for a full-size unit.
Amazon lists this as a side-by-side model, but the layout described in the spec sheet is actually French door on top with two freezer drawers below, matching the 13.48 cubic foot fridge and 6.53 cubic foot freezer split. It ships in stainless steel with a dark grey side cabinet, so the sides are not finished stainless if the unit will be visible from more than one angle.
- 13.48 cu ft fridge / 6.53 cu ft freezer split
- Two freezer drawers plus two side-door shelves
- Electronic touch control with LED interior lighting
- 35.87 x 29.76 x 70.08 inches, 213 lbs
Who it's for
Fits households wanting a full-size, freestanding French door fridge with built-in ice and water without paying for a smart or counter-depth build. Not a fit for anyone who needs true side-by-side doors, since despite the product name that is not how the doors are arranged.
Pros and cons
- 20 cubic feet combined fresh food and freezer capacity
- Built-in ice maker and water dispenser included
- Child lock, vacation, and Sabbath modes on the panel
- Side cabinet is dark grey, not matching stainless
- Only one buyer review to judge long-term reliability
Performance notes
Cooling runs on a multi-air flow system with frost-free operation, and the freezer includes a fast-freeze setting plus a door-open alert. Controls are electronic touch on the door face, with child lock, vacation, and Sabbath modes.
