7.5 CF Two Door Apartment Size Refrigerator

Purchased this fridge as it was one of the smaller "full-size" fridges I could find for a studio apartment. After thirteen months it died. Called Avanti and not only were they unwilling to do anything in terms of making it right, but they couldn't even give me the name of a repair outfit in NYC. Based on my experience I won't ever purchase another Avanti product.

PS: Just had another Avanti fridge die that I had purchased for another apartment four years ago. Four years is certainly better than 13 months but it's still fairly pathetic. A fridge used to last 15 years no problem...

I bought this Avanti model in February 2012. The fourth service rep. just left. First, water leaked into the veg. bin (two service calls to fix that), next, the frost free freezer started frosting up (service call number 3 needed new gasket), then the next day the fridge part stopped working.

Service rep number 4 has justed installed a new gasket and informed me that (1) I shouldn't open my freezer for four hours (I can live with that.) and (2) all I need to do is unplug the entire unit for 24 hours to restart the fridge. He could not tell what I could do with the $100. plus worth of food in my freezer while the fridge was unplugged. Calls to Avanti were useless. Their best offer was a new gasket, and a request to speak with a supervisor left me speaking with an answering machine. No response after 3 weeks. The last service rep advised me to invest in an extended warranty. What does that tell you? This product is garbage and the people who stand behind it basically don't. I can't say enough bad things about this product. Buyer beware.
