The JFX2897DRM adds a fourth storage compartment below the freezer drawer to JennAir’s French door platform, which means it manages climate across more separately-controlled zones than a standard three-compartment refrigerator. Because each zone has its own damper and sensor, an uneven-temperature complaint on this model usually traces to whichever single zone is actually misbehaving rather than the unit as a whole.
