I hope you get some good advice, for all I have are caveats, so few these days are bulletproof unless you go overboard for Wolf/Subzero. e.g. we bought a Samsung with great reviews, bells & whistles Spring 2013, side-side as wife prefers, counter-depth (fewer kids, no more shoehorning into tight space, more counter access) ON SALE -$700+ whoohoo ... only to spend $700+ in "repairs". Turns out the interior main brain was inferior quality, the manufacturer knew it, didn't want to deal with customer returns, so sold a load of these problem children to Best Buy/others to unload on suckers.
In all these 35+ years, the type refrigerator that treated us best was the type you are replacing BUT who can live without an ice maker coming through the door (door mount is best for saving freezer space) and NOT hitting one's head on the open freezer door or division above?
Side-side's width always a problem certainly no pizzas go in the easy way. Maytag tried to fix that with a wide-by-side model that failed/discontinued. (Think instead of straight up-down door same width, they would fatten then go skinny, borrowing from other side's width 1/2 way up ... but I digress ...)
So ... many love the wide freezer drawer at bottom of French doors above b/c of all that + cold air loves to sink & drawers don't spill out, lose cold air as much ala chest freezers. This type is what I'd be getting sans wife preferences and if not too old to lean over that far.
Consumer Reports should illuminate which brands need least maintenance money.
