fridge was noisy from start. never got cold enough and now after 3.5 years. fridge has stop cooling . freezer still ok . pretty bad for a $2000+ fridge i was expecting 10 years +

I bought a Sharp SJ-F624St refrigerator in December 2014 and we have been very happy with it until now. It has stopped completely and have been told that the compressor needs replacing, which I believe is an extremely costly job.
Surely such a critical component of a refrigerator should last more than 4 years.
What can I do to avoid a costly repair?

Overall very happy, I was a little nervous reading review of occasional noisy fridge, this one barely a sound! Space is great, doors don’t close easily though and kids need re training to not flick it shut and walk off. Lighting good, overall very happy, just love the deep ice cube container

Like the space in Fridge and Freezer. Layout is great. I have following concerns though.
1. Compressor/Fan constantly runs unlike my 10 year old LG.
2. Top Doors are misaligned. I could get the bottom ones aligned but could not do the same for to ones.
3. Compressor is louder than my old ones.

It is really trust worthy, dependable and durable, I got a feeling that I cannot move on without it. It is very efficient and excellent in electricity consume. Great product for a great price, I have been using only Sharp refrigerators in my life and would recommend any one, and you will never regret.

I bought this fridge when I moved in and it's still as good as ever. Temperature is always consistent in all areas I never have to worry about cold or warm spots. My fresh produce always lasts the distance with this fridge compared to my old one. It's not noisy at all and the French door style is just perfect. Love having all the freezer space in drawers which makes cleaning a breeze.

I love this fridge i find it very good quality i bought it 8 years ago and iits still working perfectly .. its big and nice i love the design of it .. i like the fridge its organized and big .. easy to clean and maintain. . I highly recommend it.

have been waiting for parts for a SJXE624FSL one off the doors . they first told me 6 to 8 weeks then after 8 weeks they said it will take another 3 months know they tell me they don't know when . its a disgrace that a company does not hold parts for one off the latest fridges . DONT BUY SHARP NO BACK UP

Love this fridge. The design is great - the shelves hold a lot and the doors allow you to store higher items that don't fit in the shelves. The freezer trays are great and being all individual compartments allows means I don't lose things at the bottom for years!
The only downside is that I bake a lot of cakes and I have had to purchase a separate cake fridge as the height of the shelves in this model means that it simply will not hold any high items.
We haven't had a problem with the noise. We have 2 small boys so maybe they just drown it out!!

Love the lay out and look of fridge, french door design makes it easy to store large items, fitted kitchen space. Was noisy.. Purchased Dec 2015, died Dec 2017, 8 days past manufacturer's warranty and 6 days before Christmas!! Assuming compressor, have extended warranty with Good Guys thankfully, waiting on service call and next step...

We purchased this fridge as it was one of only a few that would fit in our kitchen. I love the layout of the fridge. But its really loud when the compressor is working. Loud enough to be heard in the next room. Another thing thats annoying is one of the doors does not sit flush with the other 3.

The fridge has been fantastic and is still operation well, however the noise is now so loud from the compressor (we assume that it is that) that it can be heard upstairs in a closed bedroom. Always sops when the door is opened but as soon as it shuts it kicks back on and tries to take off. The noise is louder that the pool pump and the fridge is starting to vibrate.
It was purchased from The Goo Guys Castle Hill in December 2014.
Dissapointed with the product at this stage. Need to get it looked at.

Less than 2 years old. Magnets on freezer door are soo weak when you close the fridge door the air pressure forces the bottom freezer door to pop open slightly. Just enough to not notice -- condensation forms, cold air escapes. Fridge runs all night or day till you realize. Happens all the time and yes drawers are in all the way with nothing blocking them. Lights are weak. Layout and drawer design is good.

This unit began to make extremely loud noises after about 4 months. It is rattling and also has knocking sounds. This is not what one would accept considering the price of the product. This is a shame as it is quite a nice looking fridge and aside from the noises it does what it should do. However, as said earlier, the loud noises are unacceptable.

This is a nice looking fridge but its compartment make the fridge a little smaller than its size, especially for the freezer as the vertical separation certainly limits its storage space. Fridge also doesn't cool enough and we typically have to set the fridge temperature down to 0C but it still does not feel that cold. When there are many things in the freezer, it also cool things very slowly (we put the beers into the freezer for about 1.5-2 hours and when the guests arrived, they are still not very cold).

We just took delivery of this fridge. It is a really nice looking fridge but I can hear the fridge buzzing. Initially I thought it might just be because its starting up but it is a loud buzz and my 15 yr old fridge was much quieter than this one. I am unhappy about the noise.
