Good refrigerator

I did a great deal of looking before choosing this refrigerator, but my choices are limited by the space I have for a refrigerator. But I felt this one would be just fine. We took delivery a couple of weeks ago, and so far, we like this refrigerator overall. I like the space configuration, and the ice maker works well. It's also well lit, which I appreciate. It is noisier than our previous model, but honestly, that doesn't bother me at all...but you will know when the ice maker is refilling. That said, there are a couple of things that could and should be improved, one of which would have made me reconsider the purchase had I known about it ahead of time.
First, the lesser issue...the produce drawers could stand to be a bit more sturdy. They are okay, but don't slide open particularly smoothly, and feel a bit on the "cheap" side.
The second issue, which was completely unexpected and my irritation over this will likely seem strange to some, is that the door swings too far open. If you let it go, it will literally slam against a nearby counter. We are learning to hold on to the door or ease it all the way against the counter, but I am concerned that at some point either the door handle or the counter will get damaged. We have tried raising the front feet, but that made no difference (next we will next try actually lowering them, I guess). The door has to swing very wide to hit this counter, so my kitchen is not the problem. Note that the configuration of this refrigerator (freezer on bottom, open from the left) is exactly the same as we had before. We never had this happen at all with our previous one (a Samsung). At this point we are trying to figure some way to rig some fix that will stop this from happening, but as of yet, no easy fix is obvious. I truly would have reconsidered this purchase because of this irritating issue had I known about it. If there's a fix out there, I sure would appreciate some insight, as my feelings about this purchase would genuinely improve if this were resolved.
