Single Bottle Wine Cooler - WC10G

Single Bottle Wine Cooler - WC10G
  • Great for White Wines and Champagne
  • Quiet and Energy-Efficient
  • Aluminum Container with 3.5 inch Diameter
  • DC Power Supply
  • Green Power On - LED Light

So far, I have tried two of these units. The first one did not cool at all, and the second one stablizes at a temperature about 10-degrees off from the selected temperature. That is not acceptable for the wine temperature control that I had hoped to have with this device.

Takes 55 minutes to get from room temperature to 48 degrees(according to light on the unit) which is really 58 in this reality matrix. Disappointing!

Unit is being returned.

Whirlpool Duet Steam 3.8 Cu. Ft. Silver Front Load Washers - WFW9550WL

Whirlpool Duet Steam 3.8 Cu. Ft. Silver Front Load Washers - WFW9550WL

  • WFW9550WL
  • Whirlpool - WFW9550WL

My wife and I bought a brand new Whirlpool Duet Steam washer and dryer set. We loved it for a little over a year. Then the main bearing and the pressure sensor on the washer went out. The cost to repair would have been over $1200. We didn't pay that much for the washer. I called customer service and they told me that they would not do ANYTHING after the one year warranty period expired "NO EXCEPTIONS!!" I found it difficult to believe that a company as established as Whirlpool would have such a policy. I talked to supervisor and pressed him on the issue. The answer remained NO EXCEPTIONS. If anything breaks after one year, it is your responsibility. I understand normal wear and tear, but I expect the main bearing on the washer to last several years. I am still stunned that a customer service supervisor would actually tell me that after one year (even a year and a day as I asked him) they will do NOTHING. Whirlpool does not care about anything after one year. The service man that came and looked at the unit says this happens with Whirlpool often. He said LG and Samsung have better bearings and will last longer. I am still a huge fan of the front load washers and I will be shopping for a new one, but it won't be Whirlpool never again.

Bought this machine in March 2010. Runs like a dream and never had problems. True to form, I wash one big load vs. multiple smaller loads now and no problems. Love it and highly endorse Whirlpool products.

Frigidaire 240534901 Door Rack for Refrigerator

Frigidaire 240534901 Door Rack for RefrigeratorI'm not sure why a 30¢ piece of plastic costs $30, but it is similar to prices elsewhere, so I guess it's the going rate. This fits the top and bottom shelves of the fridge door. If you need the one for the middle shelf, it's deeper.

I bough my fridge 10 yrs ago and thought that the model was too old to find parts like this. However the parts I got were exactly what I needed.

Replacement for the easy to break door racks that came with your newer model Fridgidaire.

Do not confuse this with the deeper alternative for "Gallon" size door storage. This is the shallower door rack intended for the top or bottom shelf not the middle "gallon" sized one.

(I went ahead and replaced the "gallon" sized door rack with one of these, as I don't like to keep my milk on the fridge door.)

The bottom rack in our refridgerator had been broken for years and I finally decided to replace it. This did the trick. Now soda and juice bottles wont fall out when the door is opened to fast.

Kenmore 46-9690 Kenmoreclear! Refrigerator Water Filter

Kenmore 46-9690 Kenmoreclear! Refrigerator Water FilterI hesitated because, though the number is the same as on my filter purchased from Sears, the box was different in the photo on Amazon. After some though decided to take the chance. Well, it came with the updated box (so the one on this amazon photo is not right) BUT, it is the correct product. Sears sells it for $58.98 so I decided to go ahead and get another one to keep for next time. Very pleased with the fast service and the price and the product. Shame on Sears for selling this same thing and almost a $20 markup ! Thank heaven for Amazon!!

This is the first time I have purchased from this company. As long as they keep their prices low I will definetly buy from them again. It is the same exact filter that Sears sells for nearly 3x the price, if they have it in stock. I don't have to waste the gas, time, deal with the mall traffic or hunt down a sales person, it comes right to my door. It fits perfectly, even though changing the filter is a bit of a pain.

You must be sure to pull the door that houses the filter as far down as it will go (don't force it) in order to pull the old filter out and replace the new one.

We bought a new fridge 6 months ago and our change filter light came on. I called Sears where we bought it from and their filters were $59.99 each. I checked Amazon and they were $27.99 plus shipping for the same thing, also new. I purchased 2 from Amazon and only spent $63 total. That is exactly what I would have spent at Sears for just 1!! Thanks Amazon, you are wonderful! We put the product in our fridge a week ago and it is working great!

Danby DWC2727BLS 5.0 Cu Ft 54-Bottle Silhouette Wine Cellar - Black/Stainless

Danby DWC2727BLS 5.0 Cu Ft 54-Bottle Silhouette Wine Cellar - Black/Stainless
  • 54 bottle capacity
  • Built-in or freestanding application
  • Dual temperature zones for red and white storage
  • Temperature range of 4C ~ 18C (39F~64F) per compartment
  • Precise digital thermostat with LED display

I enjoyed this cooler for about a year even though it did struggle to maintain temperatures. Then it finally quit maintaining temperatures all together. I contacted Danby and they sent out an 'in home service' technician. It was determined it needed a new control card. To make a long story short, 6 months, 3 control cards and a transformer later, I was issued a refund in the form of a gift card for the big box store in which I made the purchase. I had to ask for the refund to stop the insanity of repeated attempts of replacing a card 3 times and expecting a different result. Danby customer service is horrible. Call their service number and it is no less than a 30 min on hold wait to speak to someone. Forget about a returned call. I was told they would get back with me only to never get the return call. After a little research, I found that the temperature control issues is a chronic problem among several of their models.

Buy Danby DWC2727BLS 5.0 Cu Ft 54-Bottle Silhouette Wine Cellar - Black/Stainless Now

We purchased the Dancy 54 Bottle Wine Cooler in stainless steel and within 4 months of operation, the unit ceased to cool and one side overheated.

As Danby claims to have a one year warranty, we called Danby and found that since we had purchased the cooler at the beginning of our remodel and did not install the unit until the renovation was complete, the warranty would not be honored as we were a mere two weeks past our warranty expiration date.

We let Danby know that the unit had only been in use for under four months, whereupon we asked if Danby would not honor the warranty, would they at least sell us another unit at cost, at which point Danby stated that they would not. Too bad, so sad, you'll just have to fork up another $900.00 for another unit, sucker.

PLEASE NOTE that you cannot get Danby wine or beverage coolers serviced, states Danby customer service, as they are "contained units" which means the entire unit has to be replaced under warranty, not just the cooling elements. If it breaks during the first year, they will OSTENSIBLY send you a new unit. But who knows if they will even honor their one year warranty, based upon their reluctance to handle the simplest of customer service issues with us. It took days to get to a representative and even then they completely refused to stand behind their product.

After several tries with Danby customer service to no avail, we contacted the President of Danby, whom we were sure would make this situation right but were completely ignored. I'll bet he gets a lot of calls and mail about this very thing. Do yourself a favor and save on shipping put $900 IN A PILE AND BURN IT rather than buy any Danby product. Better yet, buy another brand, as we did. Our new cooler works just fine and it can be repaired if it breaks, as it is 21st century technology. Our new unit was cheaper, too, and is better looking.

Come on! It's a little fridge, not rocket science, and they can't get a $900 wine cooler to work for more than four months without breaking down? I'd be interested to hear from any other Danby wine cooler purchasers as I have a suspicion that these units are manufactured to meet planned obsolescence of approximately one year as a means of bilking the consumer.

Yes, you heard me, Danby, if you read these reviews: Your customer service reps were too practiced in their denial of warranty coverage for us to believe that this is an uncommon occurrence. We'd also like to hear from you, Danby, since we've not received a reply to any of our communications for several months now.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Two weeks after purchasing this product it stopped holding temperature. I called Danby and they sent a tech out 4 times. After each time the cooler would work for a couple of days and fail again. Their customer service is terrible at best. Please do yourself a favor and don't purchase this wine cooler.

I bought this unit a couple of years ago and temperature started going out of whack a few weeks ago.

From a maintenance standpoint, it was quite nice. I vacuumed the front and back every few months and it seemed to do the trick in terms of keeping the temperature balanced.

However, a few weeks ago, the fridge started experience high heat on the red wine side and substantial drops in temperature on the whites side.

I tried vacuuming the front and back again.

I tried unloading the unit completely and letting it rest for 24 hours (storing bottles in our regular fridge) so the inside temperatures could even out.

I tried loading only a few bottles in.

I then tried to call Danby's customer support line. I tried in the morning; I tried in the middle of the day; I tried late in the day.

I tried at the beginning of the week; I tried on a Wednesday; I tried at the end of the week.

I tried their English language menu; I tried their French language menu.

... and every time I ended up getting recorded messages and menus that led me to learn that the support line was closed.

I tried calling the spare parts department and got someone but since they are not part of Danby (it's outsourced), they weren't sure of what part I should replace in my unit. They also tried to get Danby support on the line but failed.

So if you buy this unit (and it's a great unit when it works), be aware that it may work only for a limited amount of time and that you may not be able to get ANY support on it.

I purchased this unit and 26 months later is quit working. A part (selenoid valve assembly) stopped working. This is a very expensive and involved repair that makes replacement a better option. I spoke to Danby, they were familiar with the problem, but basically told me too bad.

GE WR30X10001 Ice Maker Assembly

GE WR30X10001 Ice Maker AssemblyI ordered what was advertised as an icemaker made by GE. The picture displayed was of a GE icemaker that looked nothing what was sent. I received an overpriced, cheap replacement that did not fit even though I gave the model# of the fridge before ordering. Now I am stuck with paying a shipping charge to get a refund even though I ordered the item they said would fit. This is bait&switch fraud.

Refrigerator Liners - 2 Count

Refrigerator Liners - 2 CountThese are wonderful for shelves that are racks instead of glass. It keeps spills on the liner thus keeping your refrigerator cleaner with less maintenance.Take the liner out and clean it off.

These were a little wide for my side by side fridge/freezer. They are easily cut to size. Just cut down the middle and shave some off there, so it won't hurt the looks of the border. They look very nice in my fridge, and are so easy to clean up. Much easier than scrubbing the shelves!

These two refrigerator liners arrived full of tares. The actual substance of the liner is probably o.k. but both of them were ruined by the tares and cracks. I reported this to Amazon and Amazon refunded my money.

Since the liners were better than nothing, I put them to use in my fridge. They are of nice design...but those rips just ruined the day!

Supco Replacement for UKF8001 Refrigerator Filter

Supco Replacement for UKF8001 Refrigerator FilterThe filters fit and at first the water tasted fine. After about the 4th week of use, the water tasted worse than not using any filter at all. In fact the water tasted awful. I noticed these were made in China and my next filter will either be made in the U.S. or Canada.

[Updated 3/11/13] I lowered my ranking from two stars to one. I had ordered two of these and after the first one went bad, I put in the second. The second filter only worked for a little over a week and then the water had a foul taste. Because the unfiltered water in our house doesn't taste bad like that I can only assume that something has been put in this filter that is not good. Whatever it is taints the taste of the water. I have thrown it away and will never buy one of these filters again.

The filter worked for 2 weeks, then the fridge warning came on to say replace the filter. Our other one worked for 6 months.

This item works as a replacement for my fridge water filter. I did notice that the filter light does not go off though. So I think this may be missing some sort of sensor to control the filter light.

This filter is obviously made for different models. It was a little difficult to install (took 3 times to get it seal and sprayed the inside of the fridge each time). Once installed it seems to work well and isn't leaking. I'll probably order the original next time.
