NFL Tennessee Titans Counter Top Refrigerator

NFL Tennessee Titans Counter Top RefrigeratorBought this as a gift for my boyfriend at Christmas. It arrived damaged and I'm in the process of returning it. Regardless of this, it does not say in the description that the company simply put Titans decals on a generic mini-fridge. Don't waste your money, I could have done a much better job myself. The stickers are bubbled up everywhere and barely stay on.

LG 25 CF French Door Refrigerator SS

LG 25 CF French Door Refrigerator SS
  • 4 Spill Protector Glass Shelves
  • Glide N' Serve Drawer
  • IcePlus
  • LED Interior Light
  • Linear Compressor

This is our second LG fridge. The first was purchased in 2007. We started having problems right away...seemed like the repair person was here every 6 months. Finally,the last problem was insurmountable and after 2 weeks of "camping" with ice chests, LG at long last replaced the fridge with this model. We were thrilled and the fridge arrived 4-18-2011. On June 1st, it just died. Turned out to be a defective main circuit board. Part ordered. Next day, we were informed that the part was out of stock, not in for 4 weeks. Hmmm, part out of stock....what does that tell you? An all too common problem? It has now been 7 days and we are waiting to see what LG will do for us. They do not plan to reimburse us for all the ice we've purchased or for some of the food that has gone bad. Totally unacceptable time to keep a customer in limbo. Buyer beware!

We physically checked out several fridges in local stores and looked on-line including consumer reports. This was significantly larger than the fridge it replaced. We really like the freezer at the bottom w/ the divider (meats on one side, ice cream/dessert type stuff on the other). The slide out shelves are very cool; it's nice when you have a big jug of milk to pull out. There is also an abundance of drawer space.

I was concerned purchasing a large appliance on-line but it went great. It took a little more than a week to arrive. Two guys came in a truck in the 4 hour timeframe given. They were in and out w/in 30 minutes. The fridge was in perfect condition everything was taped into position. We saved $200-$300 by purchasing off Amazon as opposed to the local box store.

We are very happy w/ the purchase.

Purchased in January 2011. We like the style and layout of this refrigerator. Unfortunately, the ice maker went out after one month. LG is the only manufacturer that requires you to submit a a form to request in-home warranty service. You can't just call a local authorized service company yourself. Then, when they get around to it, LG contacts a service rep to come fix the problem. It's been five days and haven't heard from LG. I won't be purchasing any additional LG appliances.

I have this refrigerator for less than 1 yr. After several months i noticed brown spots on the front door panels. The spots turn out to be rust. The repair tech that came out to inspect the complaint told me that cosmetic complaints are not covered by warranty. Excuse me? This is a stainless steel product, it's not even supposed to rust! It's a defect and not a matter of aesthetic. I think the problem may be that companies cut corners and outsource their manufacturing tasks to countries that do not require stringent quality controls. Buyers just be aware get some sort of protection at the time of purchase.

I'm not sure the other reviewers are talking about this particular LG. Consumer Reports has this specific model as #2 over dozens of other models. We love ours. The LED light is wonderful. Easy access. Extremely quiet. I don't know about LG's customer service that other reviewers are concerned with as we haven't had to deal with them. But the refrigerator itself is fantastic. And you can get deals less than Amazon's price.

GE REFRIGERATOR EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR WR60X10008

GE REFRIGERATOR EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR WR60X10008I know nothing about repairing refrigerators, but when my repairman said it was going to take him a while to get this part (long story) I asked if it was OK with him if I sourced the part. He gave me the part number, and sure enough there it was on Amazon. I sent an email to the seller asking how long their delivery would take. They responded promptly, and the part arrived in 2 days! Excellent service, and the fridge is as good as new.

GE WR30X10097 Icemaker Assembly for Refrigerator

GE WR30X10097 Icemaker Assembly for RefrigeratorLikewise I also waited nearly a year before buying this ice maker . I did all the troubleshooting myself to verify that this was the problem. Found other websites selling this product for nearly double and just didn't want to spend the money. When I saw it for $126 it was too good to pass up. Same manufacturer and model as the original (Samsung). Just plugged it in and a couple hours later it is making ice.

I finally caved and bought this product as a replacement for our icemaker that broke over a year ago. I was hesitant because the icemaker that came with our GE Profile refrigerator was not durable at all especially given that the fridge was only 3 yrs old when the plastic ice level indicator arm broke off and eventually the unit stopped making ice. I am pleased to say that the replacement icemaker is working great! It doesn't seem nearly as noisy as the original one and makes ice at an acceptable rate.

Not a lot to say about it. It arrived quickly, and once installed it started to make ice. That's all I was expecting, so I'm very pleased with this product.

Our old ice maker was making a clicking noise everytime it tried to dislodge the ice because the ice couldn't get pushed out by the fingers and the gears were just getting stripped. I ordered this part hoping to be the correct replacement part for a samsung model IMC701. It was the perfect match! Freezer is making buckets of ice and I'm back in margaritaville.

Samsung RFG297HDRS 28.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star</n

Samsung RFG297HDRS 28.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • 5 Tempered Glass Spill Proof Shelves
  • Twin Cooling Plus System
  • CoolSelect Pantry With 3 Level Temperature Controls
  • Dimensions: (WHD): 35 3/4" X 69 3/4" X 35 5/8"

I am very big on Samsung...We now had the RFG297HDRS for almost 3 weeks. Our previous fridg is also a Samsung side by side.

Pros:

1) love the fridg....roomy fridg section

2) LED lighting

3) look and feel

Cons:

1) Not holding temp correctly. Tech was out today and they are replacing the temp sensors. Hopefully this will help.

2) Got eggs? Normally we store our eggs on the top right shelve on our side by side. The dozen standard size egg carton does not fit on the top door shelve of our new refrig. I thought that was annoying. We actually had to put the eggs on the regular shelve.

3) buzzy sounds when power cool is on. The tech checked the compressor, fans, condenser and was unable to find the issue. I just happen to touch the back of the fridg near the freezer section and the sound stopped. I remove my hand and the buzzy sound is back. did that 5 to 8 times and it was consistent. We looked inside the freezer and the tech tighten a few screws from the inside back of the freezer and the buzzy sound is solved.

4) Ice maker: The good: Fast production and ice is great! The bad: Each time it pops an ice get ready to cover your head! You think someone threw a rock at your window. It is loud, really loud! My side by side is whisper quite when it comes to making and popping the ice out. This was just amazingly very loud and I am not over saying this. We have a large house and I can hear it all the way in bed across the entire house. At least your Samsung is making a statement that I just popped out ice ready for you...Maybe voice notification of a pop!

I am happy with the fridg. Hopefully once the sensors are replaced it fixes this temp drift I am facing. I noticed if I unplug the Refrig, wait 10 mins and turn it back on it will display the correct temp then later in a few day the temp drift. I had it set at 34F but the thermo is actually 48F inside.

Buy

Bought this during last year black Friday at $1599!! I guess I don't have the right to complain at that incredible price! I have been using this for a month. So far so good! I have read numerous compliant about this fridge on Bestbuy and other website. Yet, I still risked and bought this model (coz I like its size and look). I believe either I am lucky getting a good one. Or, others did not do what it's suppose to do. Per Lowes technician's advice, you gotta dump the 1st 2 gallon of water in order to avoid dripping. Also, after 24 hrs, you should dump the 1st bucket of ice cubes as well. I did those and I don't have any problem.

Also, if you feel the fridge is not cold enough. Press 'Power Cool' or 'Power freeze' for 3 secs...and adjust to the desire temp...something like this. Hope this will help the others! This is a nice LARGE fridge!

Letter to Consumer Reports:

I bought this SAMSUNG RF266ABRS fridge because it was recommended by Consumer Reports in August 2009. This fridge and other SAMSUNG fridges should be taken off the recommended list because there is an inherent design defect that causes ice buildup on the evaporator coils.

First there is a rattling noise as the fan hits the ice buildup.

Then the noise stops when the ice completely blocks the fan but then there is no more cooling happening.

There is even a class action lawsuit against SAMSUNG fridges:

Please look into this Samsung ice buildup problem. The Samsung fridges should definitively not be on the recommended list but put on the "do not buy" list. The ice buildup issue occurs about 1 year after purchase. SAMSUNG is not acknowledging the problem and does not help its customers.

Letter to SAMSUNG:

I am deeply unsatisfied on how SAMSUNG handled the warranty policy with my SAMSUNG Fridge French Door Model RF266ABRS. This fridge was defective starting Year 1 and was not repaired appropriately the 1st time. All was done on the 1st service visit was to defrost the evaporator not fixing the problem itself.

Of course, the problem reoccurred 1 year later and every year after that. Since the technician explained the problem, how to solve it and SAMSUNG customer service gave me a hard time because it was a few days over the 1 year purchase date, I dealt with it personally by unplugging the unit and let it sit unplug for 24 hours. Not a satisfactory resolution, just a quick workaround, until I got fed up with losing food and asked for SAMSUNG to resolve this problem once and for all.

First this problem should have been resolved the 1st visit. Secondly I learned recently from numerous complaints and videos on the web that this is a defective design in SAMSUNG fridges that causes the ice buildup on the evaporator.

Here is a video showing the defrost sensor modification kit to fix evaporator ice buildup. This is for the SAMSUNG RSH1 fridge but it is the same modification that was done on my fridge by the repair technician who came to my house:

Many SAMSUNG fridges have the same cooling design thus sharing the same ice buildup issue.

I was charged $104.68 to fix SAMSUNG own defective design! This is outrageous and no decent company would shift the cost from itself to their customers . It shows utter disrespect for its own customers, not counting the monetary damage. Sir, should I remind you that your customers are your most important assets and should be your priority number one!

SAMSUNG should have done everything in its power to help its loyal customers by fixing its defective fridges FREE OF CHARGE.

The technician explained that he had to move the defrost sensor away from the evaporator in order to let the defrost cycle run longer and completely defrost the evaporator from any ice buildup. He also put a wider drain clip. The older clip was too small. It would get iced up and not let water drain away from the evaporator. There is also a new metal clip that attaches to the heating element and goes inside the drain clip to heat any ice there if needed so the drain cannot get clogged. In addition, a new seal kit put on the market by SAMSUNG 3 months ago was used to seal the evaporator compartment to prevent moisture to get in and improve circulation airflow provided by the fan.

This is a really good refrigerator. Shop around and you can find these a thousand less than regular price...

External:

This refrigerator barely fits in my cabinet frame in my kitchen. My previous fridge (25cf side-by-side) had about an inch of space on the sides and about four inches from the top to spare. I measured the cabinet space prior to buying the Samsung but was sure surprised at the size of it when it was installed.

The back of the fridge is very flat... completely sealed off. It does not have space to tuck/hide away excess water lines. Samsung provides a flat three pronged wall plug (more on that in a bit) but the waterlines was a small issue for me. Initially, the Samsung fridge stuck out two inches more than the previous model. After coiling the excess water line and inserting the excess into a small hole in the drywall (with a nice wall plate) all is well.

I read in couple places online that the "motherboards" in these new high-tech fridges can get damaged by power spikes/surges and are extremely expensive to replace. So I ordered an inexpensive single surge protector (made by Belkin) and a flat extension cable to go with it.

[IMHO, the only real alternative (size and space) to this fridge are counter-depth refrigerators (priced a grand more).]

After two days, I noticed a lot of reddish/brown streaking on the stainless steel face. At first, I thought it was dirt from the cloth/sponge I was using to clean the surface. It looked like rust, smelled like rust (very metallic odor) and stained a white diaper cloth like rust. I quickly googled "rust streaks on my stainless steel appliance" and found a simple solution: baby oil/mineral oil. That took care of all the streaking.

The stainless steel is only on the doors, not the sides or the back. The sides are dark grey and glossy similar to most refrigerator surfaces.

Last interesting note about the exterior: The stainless steel on this fridge does not attract magnets magnets only stick to the sides. We used to have magnets from all around the world on the fridge... not any more. Funny thing is, some of my other ss appliances do allow magnets to stick...

Interior:

I think a 29c ft refrigerator says it all for space. The doors have ample storage space and are very solid. Even with four gallons on milk on the door shelves, the door still feels light and solid.

Lighting is perfect. External lighting is also nice. At night it can illuminate the entire kitchen floor.

Operation:

The "Super Freeze and super cold" options work great. Moving from the old fridge to the new one was quick and easy and nothing spoiled in the process.

(This model is a single ice maker.) No issues with ice, crushed or cubed. Makes ice from filtered water.

Fridge temp is 2 degrees colder than the door computer display reports. I guess this is better than if it reported the opposite.

About 2 1/2 yrs ago we bought all brand new home appliances, all SAMSUNG (unfortunately!) from LOWES in Hawaii. Planning to sell our house we didnot buy the extended warranty...After 2 years the refrigerator developed problems:the bottom freezer section, it became all frozen, the technician said it is a COMMON PROBLEM with SAMSUNG, the gasket needed to be replaced++. Also the light went out in the freezer as well as on top, the LED, above the water/ice spout...obviously we got a lemon! the estimate for the repairs was $ 600.00 ++, LOWES said after 7 days they do not accept any returns ( after spending 0ver $ 5,000.00++ we will NEVER shop at LOWES again!) SAMSUNG said sorry, YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!...what an expensive piece of junk! besides the refrigerator the microwave also died, the technician ordered a piece that was still under warranty, but still it didnot work, the repair estimate came to over $ 350.00!!! another piece of junk! bad luck indeed, but honest-to-God truth! we paid almost $ 200.00 to technician ($ 75.00 + tax /visit) for nothing!...now we worry about the stove, the dish-washer etc...

Kitchenaid W10113902A 30 Slide-In Range Gap Filler - Black

Kitchenaid W10113902A 30 Slide-In Range Gap Filler - BlackThis product is not slide in and the directions leave a lot to be desired. Four screws in my cabinet walls and a bunch of swearing later and I finally got it installed. It arrives three sided and each side is a different dimension and angle. They tried to make a one size fits all and it really doesn't work well at all. Really nasty to install.

This flter for stove is what I needed, sirprising the saleman at the store new nothing about it. This is just amazing, people who work at the stores do not know the marchandise.

Electrolux EI26SS30J 36" Standard-Depth Side-By-Side Refrigerator with IQ-Touch Controls and Luxury

Electrolux EI26SS30J 36' Standard-Depth Side-By-Side Refrigerator with IQ-Touch Controls and Luxury-G, WhiteSo we purchased this model about 4 years ago from a Lowes Home Center. We don't usually buy extended warranty plans but since I was not real familiar with Electrolux, we purchased a 4 year extended warranty. The first failure occurred in the ice maker/water dispensing unit--(could not turn off the water). Took one visit by the repair vendor to figure out what parts he needed, than about two weeks for him to get the parts and make the repairs. Three years the water dispenser stopped working. The repair contractor said the heater had failed iside the door and they would have to replace the door. Yesterday they replaced the door and now, not only do we not get water, but we do not get ice and I've had to move all the food to another refrigerator because the neither the refrigerator or freezer are able to maintain a safe temperature. So my problem is first with the multiple failures we have experience with the electronics in the refrigerator and I guess a related problem with the way they train/certify/authorize repair vendors...My advice--stick to a major brand that can be properly serviced by a wide variety of vendors. Electrolux is off my list--permanently--for anything they make.
