Neil,
That is indeed the model.
If you look under the 'manual' tab on the link you posted you will find the EnergyGuide pdf. That is where I quoted the 400 kwh/year from.

In our house the annual consumption is right about 360 kwh. Similar to cars and EPA MPG, I suggest using the EnergyGuide kwh ratings for comparison purposes.

Ours has been problem free. I do not know if that is because we are lucky to have a problem free model, or our use does not bring the problem out. Fwiw I live in a dry climate, and we do not open the freezer very often.

As for noise, my wife never hears it; I hear it every time it starts up because I am sensitized to energy use in the house, my hearing is quite good, and the ambient noise in our house is otherwise close to silent. I do not find the noise bad. I honestly doubt that any but a very small percentage of owners find this a problem. Perhaps ALL of them have complained on the internet ?
