Salad drawers in fridge only pull out half way. Finger marks do not show up on fridge but do on mirrored water dispenser/ coffee machine.  Lighting dull at bottom of fridge.  Temperature display shows the set temperature not actual fridge temperature. Separate child locks for temperature control and water dispenser. Pod coffee machine, also dispenses hot water, but water was 60^oC which is too cold for tea. Have to press and hold buttons to dispense coffee or hot water, it is slow and holding the buttons in hurts fingers. Fridge capacity **. Freezer capacity ***.
