This is a 27.8 cu ft, 4-door French door refrigerator designed for households that need flexible, high-capacity cold storage in a standard 36-inch cabinet opening. The CVE28DP4NW2 is built for kitchens where organization and temperature precision matter — a convertible middle drawer with five temperature zones handles everything from wine to soft-freeze items, while TwinChill dual-evaporators maintain separate humidity levels in the fresh food and freezer sections. Available in multiple finishes and in standard-depth or counter-depth configurations.
Why This French Door Refrigerator
Built for flexible storage — 27.8 cu ft total capacity (19.24 cu ft refrigerator, 8.57 cu ft freezer) across four doors, including a full-width flatbread freezer compartment for oversized frozen items.
Built for temperature precision — TwinChill dual-evaporators create independent climate zones so fresh food humidity and freezer dryness don't cross-contaminate.
Built for daily convenience — Auto Fill dispenser uses sensors to deliver a precise amount of filtered water; external ice and water dispenser produces cubed or crushed ice.
Built for smart-home integration — SmartHQ WiFi connects to your smart device for alerts and remote monitoring (per manufacturer documentation).
Built for easy maintenance — fingerprint-resistant exterior, removable easy-clean drawer liner, and a water filter indicator that alerts when the XWFE filter needs replacement.
