Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket Seal 2188433A

Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Gasket Seal 2188433A
  • GASKET, DOOR -REF
  • Works with the following models: Whirlpool ed25pmxr

I ordered a Whirlpool gasket seal because my old fridge seal had a minor leak at the bottom corner.

A few days later I received the product in an box with no plastic/waste which is not a big deal to me as the seal itself was white and clean. There are some difficult 'wrinkles' in the gasket upon arrival, which were unexpected however understandable due to the size of the box. Just make sure you place it in warm/hot water or use a hairdryer to soften the rubber so you may smooth the bends out.

After the warm bath, I lined up the gasket to the open refrigerator door for sizing, etc. It felt rather weak and noodle-like, albeit I figured it for such an expensive replacement it would do the job and create the seal I needed.

Well the magnetic seal did not live up to that expectation. The replacement gasket doesn't want to grab onto the refrigerator even when forcing contact of the door and the fridge.

I'm not sure if the magnetic striping is either too weak or demagnetized. Either way, my milk went bad and this seal doesn't hold contact on 3 out of 4 sides. In the mean time, I'll just make due with the worn out gasket.

This gasket saved our life... well, not directly, but it saved our food for us to eat out of the refrigerator. Thanks for the availability, it was perfect for our fridge. It got to us on time and packed nicely. Will use buyer again for future needs.

Summit : FF1325SS 10.4 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Top-Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Doors

Summit : FF1325SS 10.4 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Top-Freezer Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Doors
  • Adjustable Glass Shelves
  • Door Storage
  • Large Freezer Compartment
  • Interior Light
  • Fingerprint-Free Stainless Steel Doors: No Ice Maker

I purchased this fridge because I had a tiny kitchen. On a cu ft basis it is one of the most expensive fridges you can buy. I have redone 3 kitchens in the past 5 years, and have spent about $30,000 on appliances. I have never seen such poor quality. The MAIN problem is that the refrigerator slopes--the bottom is 2" further away from the wall than the top even after I adjust the legs as far into the cavity as possible--it looks like a s___ show. I called Mark Goldman (Summit customer service) to help solving the problem. First he claimed this was how the fridge was designed--the door should close slowly. I said it doesn't--it SLAMS shut. Then clearly demonstrating the design story was invalid, Mark told me I could build up my floor with shims! I said that was ridiculous for $1000 fridge (it's $300 extra for the icemaker). He said I needed proof there was a problem, so I sent an email with a photo of the slanted fridge and a photo of a 36" level on the floor to show it was level (i tried to paste photos here, but can't). Under pressure from the retailer, Summit sent a service rep. The service rep agreed the floor was level and the legs were into the cavity, so there was nothing he could do to fix the problem--that there was clearly a manufacturing or design flaw. When Summit received this information, they said since it wasn't a MANUFACTURING flaw (it was the design flaw--so ALL fridges will have the same problem), they weren't required to do anything about it. So I'm living with the problem.

As an aside, the rest of the quality is no better. the produce drawer is plastic and doesn't slide on the guides well, so soon it will break no matter how careful I am.

I relied heavily on reviews so wanted to leave one myself. Forget the model number but I got the bottom freezer, SS, icemaker, roughly 2'x6' in 2011. A lot of what I read was true: cheap drawers, after you close the frig door it gets sucked in for 10-15 seconds. Not a big deal as a 2nd unit but if it were in my main kitchen this (& the drawers perhaps) would get on my nerves at times (still if you had to have a small frig I think you can get used to it). I read where noise was a big issue. I've heard it come on but has never bothered me. If there were long spells where I was quiet in the same area then maybe; but so far I've barely noticed it. Also, very pleased w the interior space/shelf options for the room it takes up (again 2nd frig).

I've had it about 3-4 months and (knock on wood) haven't had any problems. Actually I love it since it fits perfectly and has everything I wanted: tall, thin, bottom freezer, icemaker AND counterdepth!...didn't think all that was possible. I was dubious from some negative reviews but after an exhaustive search Summit was the only brand that had all these things. If you're in the same situation then I say pull the trigger and buy it but try to work out some kind of insurance if it does fail on you or you don't like it for some reason. Good luck!

Danby DCR122BSLDD 4.3 Cu. Ft. Designer Compact Refrigerator - Black/Stainlees Steel

Danby DCR122BSLDD 4.3 Cu. Ft. Designer Compact Refrigerator - Black/Stainlees Steel
  • 4.3 cu.ft. (121.8 litre) capacity compact refrigerator
  • Reversible door hinge for right or left hand opening
  • Independent freezer section
  • Manual (push button) defrost
  • CanStor beverage dispenser holds 8 beverage cans

Fridge seems nice. It looks nice and is well laid out allowing full use of it unlike most fridges which cause you to waste a lot of space.

The packaging is HORRIBLE (see customer images where I have attached them). The is almost like a sleeve to the fridge with just small Styrofoam around just the corners. My box had no signs of damage, yet it has 6 dents on the back edges and the hinges were bent. I had to take the hinge brackets off and hammer them back into shape for the door to even stay on. And now my door is slightly off center, but at least it opens and closes properly and doesn't fall off any more. REALLY PATHETIC PACKING. Its shipped from manufacturer though, not Amazon so its not eligible for packaging feedback.

I dont live in the US and it was forwarded in a shipping container and it would cost me more to return it than it cost me to buy it. So I'm keeping it, but I guess those of you in the US can return it if it comes damaged.

Fridge is a little noisy when you first plug it in, but it quiets down after a few minutes and there after is not noticeable.

Would be 5 stars if not for packing.

This mini fridge was a gift for my boyfriend. He wanted a fridge with enough space for at least a gallon or two of milk, while I wanted enough freezer space to fit a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. We got both! Great space, easy-adjusting shelves, the whole shebang! Highly recommended.

This came and the door was simply not attached. I called Danby and they sent me parts that didn't work (three ridiculously thin washers and two screws....like, wtf!?). Having to try and fix a NEW product is unacceptable.

Kenmore Kitchenaid Air Flow Diffuser 2209751

Kenmore Kitchenaid Air Flow Diffuser 2209751
  • Kenmore KitchenAid air flow diffuser 2209751

This item was an exact match for my existing KitchenAid fridge diffuser. The plugs and connectors were identical and it installed quickly with minimal fuss. This part appears to be OEM based on the packaging. The price for this item was better than any other on the web. I was able to replace this part in less time than waiting on a service call and for a fraction of the price as other vendors. It was another great Amazon experience thanks to this excellent vendor.

Igloo FRW080 8-Bottle Wine Cooler, Black

Igloo FRW080 8-Bottle Wine Cooler, Black
  • 8-bottle wine cooler
  • Volume:23L; thermoelectric cooling system; refrigeration on temperature: 7-18oC
  • Low Noise: 30dB; rated voltage: AC110V; input power: 70W
  • Rated frequency:50/60Hz; power consumption:0.5kWH/24h; CFC free
  • Measures 23 by 18 by 13 inches

I have had this cooler for five months and have been impressed with it's performance ever since the first use. The cooler takes 4 bottles of wine from room temperature down to 60 deg within a few hours.

I researched proper temps for my red wine and the consensus on the web seems to be 55, give or take 5 degrees. I have the unit set at 55 degrees on the control panel. The actual internal temperature measures 57.5 degrees (using a calibrated thermometer).

Occasionally we will shut off the AC in the house when no one is home for an extended period. When the house is very warm, like 86 degrees, the wine cooler interior will rise to about 60 deg. Which is still a "safe" range.

I have a couple of the taller wine bottles that measure 13" tall. The door closes fully and there is still almost 1/2" to spare.

It runs very quietly, you can just barely hear the fan if there is no other noise in the room. The glow from the display is amazingly bright, it literally lights up the entire room at night. On the other hand the blue interior LED light is just the opposite, it barely lights up the interior. More of a mood light, I guess.

The controls are intuitve, one button for raising the temp, one button to lower it, and the interior light button. Press either up or down and you'll see your setpoint flash on the display for 5 seconds, then the display returns to normal display of the interior temperature.

This unit is a steal at $80 including delivery!!

While I totally agree with the previous reviewer, I would give to potential buyers one word of warning. Be certain that you have enough free counter space if you intend to place this item on a kitchen counter. Manufacturer's recommendation is that you have at least a 6" space behind this unit and any wall behind it...and that you have at least a 4" space on either side of the unit. This is information you would only discover after its delivery and that might cause you to have to change your original plans for its location.

I received my Igloo Thermoelectric Wine Cooler Model FRW080 the end of June 2008. From the beginning, the unit NEVER cooled to the optimum temperature. In May 2009, the unit does not power up. A call to Igloo determined that my product is manufactured by Curtis International and is warranted by them, not Igloo. Curtis International has justed informed me that to receive warranty repair, I must mail my bulky unit back to them and additionally pay a $35.00 service charge. Now, $35.00 plus $25.00 UPS shipping charge (got to have that tracking no.) almost exceeds the cost of the unit. What do you think I should do with this unit? That's exactly what I did.

Purchased this product and it worked fine for a few months and now won't turn on. Save your money and purchase a better unit, as I sent this one to the dump.

Don't waste your money on this piece of junk. I was pretty disappointed with the cheap plastic construction, and had the same problems as other reviewers with the unit's actual interior temperature being warmer than the LED reading. But at least it more or less did the job of cooling. That is, it did the job for about ten months and then died. It comes with a one year warranty so I called the customer service number, explained the situation and was told that since my wine cooler was still under warranty there was "no problem". The customer service agent took down the address that I wanted "to use for shipping", and told me to mail a check for $35. I was also told that when the check arrived, I would receive a confirming call from the "warranty department". Assuming that the $35 was to cover shipping and handling for a replacement unit, I sent off a check. Two weeks later my check had been cashed but I had received no call, so I called again. Once more I was assured that my cooler was under warranty, and that I should receive a call from the warranty department within a few days. The next week I got a call informing me that I needed to ship my defunct cooler to Buffalo, NY to the repair facility. It turns out that the one year warranty is for "materials and workmanship", but there is only a 90 day warranty on labor. The $35 was to cover "anticipated labor". Add to that the cost of packing and shipping this item to Buffalo and back, which was my responsibility, and we're getting pretty close to the cost of a new cooler. At least they are returning my $35.

Whirlpool 8201649 Door Chute for Refrigerator

that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Koolatron WC08 Thermoelectric 8-Bottle Countertop Wine Cellar

Koolatron WC08 Thermoelectric 8-Bottle Countertop Wine Cellar
  • Freestanding countertop wine cellar chills up to 8 bottles of wine
  • Thermoelectric system for vibration- and noise-free cooling
  • Digital control panel with LCD display; adjustable temperature
  • Glass door; interior light; removable shelves; adjustable feet for leveling
  • Measures 10-1/5 by 19-2/3 by 19-1/2 inches

It appears that Koolatron did not measure current wine bottles: Forget about putting Sylvaner, Gewuerztraminer, Pinot Gris, Rieslings from France into it (bottles are too long); forget about Alban's (CA) Viognier etc. (bottle has too large a diameter); forget about some Loire Valley whites (again diameter). That's all I've tried before giving up.

This is a great size and runs quiet. It keeps the wine at perfect temperature. The inside light is not very bright and makes it hard to read the wine bottles so I have to turn on another light.

It should come with more settings to give more choices as how cold you want your wine. Some people like their wine colder than others. Than why bother with a wine cooler.

Want Koolatron WC08 Thermoelectric 8-Bottle Countertop Wine Cellar Discount?

My Koolatron WC08 is only about 2 years old. When new, it performed just fine. If I set it to say 50F, it would stay within one degree of that setting. Later I noticed it couldn't keep up in the summer when the house might get up to 80F inside. Now it can't maintain proper temp at all....It always runs at least five degrees warmer than the setting. This unit is not durable.

After about one year the unit simply stopped cooling. We could hear a fan but no cooling. Since the warranty is only 90 days, we now have a piece of useless junk where we can store bottles at room temperature. Cannot recommend because of poor reliability.

GE WR32X10381 Shelf Slideout Assembly for Refrigerator

GE WR32X10381 Shelf Slideout Assembly for RefrigeratorI originally ordered this GE WR32X10381 Shelf Slideout Assembly for Refrigerator from another online store who specialized in parts. Well, I was surprised when they told me that it was on national back order. So, I took a shot at seeing if it was available on Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised when I found it here and prime eligible too. I ordered it immediately after I canceled my back order on the other site. It arrived in a well packed package quickly (on-time). It is exactly what I needed and now my refrigerator has all working shelves. So, this is one more reason I always need to check Amazon before ordering/buying anything.

Master-Bilt MBF-23-S Commercial Reach-in Freezer Single Door Stainless
  • Masterbilt MBF23-S Reach In Freezer w/ 1-Solid Door, All Stainless, 23 cu ft

We bought this item new. After 11/2 year it stopped working. The compressor was bad. Master Build would just cover the compressor. We agreed to pay for the $625 labor. They sen a different compressor saying its the only one available. The additional cost to make it fit was another $128 which they refused to pay! the warranty on this new compressor is only one year now! not the remainder of 5! Wow ! will not buy another Master Build.
