Whirlpool Refrigerator Light Switch 1118894

Whirlpool Refrigerator Light Switch 1118894My refrigerator is at least 25 years old. A couple of years ago I check on the price from a local applance parts shop. They wanted $ 42.00 for the switch. I said no. Just reciently I looked on line and found it for just under $ 7.00 including shipping. Had a little problem removing the old switch, but the new one snapped in place and now we have light in the refrig. My wife is happy!!!!!

Getting the part number on line to order this part was very difficult. If I did not have a background in reading blueprints and schematics, I probably would not had been able to figure out which part number this was. Then I had to compare the part from the refrigerator (which meant I had to remove the broken part from the refrigerator before getting the new part, not an easy task) and compare the part on line to 'hopefully' order the correct part, which I did. Ordering and receiving the part was easy.

I would (help &) recommend this to a friend.

SGF-DSA21 Refrigerator Filter (DA29-00012A Compatible)

SGF-DSA21 Refrigerator FilterAttention readers who want a filter that delivers pure, clean, uncontaminated water... Straight from the box: "This filter is not intended to purify water."

With no filter in place, the water dispenser on your refrigerator can't operate because there's a big gap between the incoming water line and the water dispenser on your fridge door. This will solve that problem. It bridges the gap between the water line coming into your fridge and the water dispenser on your fridge door. That's all I can say for it though. As a filter, it's worthless at least the manufacturer admits that in the label warning quoted above, straight from the box the filter comes in!

Yay, this filter is labeled as a "Green" product. Ecologically friendly plastic, huh? Who's zooming who, folks? I'd rather just hug a tree than drink industrially polluted water, and that's what flouridated water is. There is no process of burning to create carbon for use in this filter. But the trade-off is that while we prevent a small amount of pollution from the process of burning to create carbon for these filters, we are allowing our bodies to be polluted to a greater extent when we use them instead of carbon based filters. That trade-off isn't worth it to me.

The manufacturer claims that these filters "reduce" levels of chlorine taste and odor, cysts, and several other chemicals, but states proudly that it leaves a "healthy level of flouride" in your water. Regardless of which side of the flouridation debate you find yourself on, you can not deny that it is a means of mass medication, even according to the arguments made by those who support flouridation, and in many many cases, it is without consent of the consumer (ie yours truly). If I'm going to be medicated, I want it to be by a licensed dentist or physician, not by my city's water department. Additionally, it is medication without any means of controlling the dosage each person gets. The more water you drink, the higher your daily dose of flouride. Amazon won't allow a link here, so please do a search and educate yourself about the dangers of and true motives for municipal water flouridation.

Update: IT LEAKS!

I put this filter into my fridge a little over an hour ago, just went in to grab a snack now, and guess what? My fridge is flooded, and the water is rapidly dripping out of the filter housing. I read reviews of other model numbers of this same brand, and my leak isn't a unique experience. The only thing green about this filter is the green the manufacturer is taking out of your pocket for an absolutely worthless piece of junk. Please read the rest of the review as well! end edit -

Peace to all reading.

I bought 2 of these. The first one didn't fit well, took many attempts to get seated and the second didn't fit at all.

EuroCave Chamber Wine Cellar -Solid Door

EuroCave Chamber Wine Cellar -Solid DoorSadly I bought this product from Wine Enthusiast who are very eager to sell but have no interest in supporting the client once they secured the sale. The long list of problems you can find in endless reviews of frustrated customers (victims) include: ice build-up, inaccurate and unstable temperature and most of all no one from Wine Enthusiast to help or even respond to your calls.

I bought Wine refrigerator unit (Capacity: Up to 235 bottles) in 2007 and since that it was broken twice and even though it's on 5 year warranty, WINE ENTHUSIAST refused to fix it for the second time it's broken and ask me to pay extra for the new unit to ship to me ( STILL UNDER WARRANTY!!!). Never buy here again, share my terrible experience with everyone I know. Spent 5 days on the phone with customer service and promise that their GM will call me back...never called me back. Very disappointed.

Buy EuroCave Chamber Wine Cellar -Solid Door Now

If you know anything about wine, you know you need a steady 55 with 60-80% humidity. This does that very well as cheaply as possible.

If the Wine Enthusiast delivery oafs insist on plugging the unit in to test it simply because they fear having to return in the case of a non-functioning unit (we heard "Look, I've been doin' this for a while...I know what I'm doin'") you can tell them to sit 'n spin: read the directions...it's clearly marked ALL OVER (sticker on cabinet, instructions) that you MUST let the unit stand upright for 48hrs to allow gases to settle BEFORE plugging it in for the first time.

Maybe this is why folks besides me are having issues with the Chamber? I love it. It's the best deal out there.

The only legit complaints about this unit are the volume (vs "ideal" sized, non-existent bottles), and the resulting Tetris bottle stacking challenge you're in for. Eh, you get used to it. Other than that: never budges from 54.6 degrees, humidity is working, life is good. I've had it for a year and a half now.

The last annoying facet? the manual indicates your bottles shouldn't touch the cold walls. I'd really like to see how someone could do that....you've gotta be kidding. I just try to have my baller bottles on the inside vs edges.

Green Filter for Kenmore 46-9902 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Cer...

Green Filter for Kenmore 46-9902 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Cer...I am pleased with this purchase, ie., the fridge filters. They were as advertised, fit properly and arrived within a reasonable time. We are satisfied with the quality of the water dispensed through these filters. Further use will provide a better idea of performance.

I would purchase from this supplier again.

AquaFresh WF285 Refrigerator Replacement Filter

AquaFresh WF285 Refrigerator Replacement FilterWe purchased this filter (AquaFresh WF285) from another online retailer as a less expensive alternative to our Whirlpool brand filter. Bad choice.

Immediately after installing it we noticed it was producing lots of very tiny black particles of debris in the water, even though we had run the recommended 2 quarts of water through it. Long story short, over 30 minutes and 20 quarts of water later, the water was still filled with these very small carbon pieces, almost like black dust.

We removed it and put our Whirlpool brand filter back in, and within 4 quarts the debris started to go away, and after 6 quarts the water was running clean again.

So, we assumed that we must have simply received a defective filter. Not so.

We contacted the online retailer and they sent us a new one in exchange, and the new one gave us the same exact results. We ran gallon after gallon of water through it (thoroughly rinsing the jug between fills to make sure we weren't seeing lingering remnant debris), and still the second replacement WF285 kept producing water filled with black carbon dust.

However, you do need a keen eye to notice it so I'm guessing that's why we haven't found other negative reviews of the product yet. We believe it's likely that most people simply don't notice the carbon dust after a few quarts because it's so fine, and I'm willing to bet that a lot of people are drinking some carbon-dusty water right now because they've never taken a close look at their water after using this.

If you have this product, fill a white (or very light) colored bowl or juice jug with it and let it sit for a few seconds and watch it under good lighting. You will notice that as the water settles the carbon dust begins to rise to the top and swirl together, making it more visible for people with poor eyesight.

We've switched back to the actual Whirlpool brand and our fridge water is perfectly clean again. Too bad, we were really hoping to save some money because the Whirlpool filters are so much more expensive, but it's totally not worth drinking nasty water from poorly made filters to save a lousy 10 bucks. This experience has us back to buying filters direct from Whirlpool now at a premium. Major bummer.

I bought this filter because it was the cheapest of the whole bunch. It really is true.....you get what you pay for. This filter doesn't help with the taste and odor of my water. I just purchased another filter from ABT that is the original filter for my refrigerator for $10 more and no shipping costs. DO NOT BUY THIS FILTER!

I have purchased 3 of these filters for my fridge. The first time I purchased 2 at one time so I could have a backup. 1 day after installing the first one, the plastic part of the filter broke and water QUICKLY started leaking from the filter onto the floor. I figured it was just a 1 in a million thing and put the other filter in. It worked fine for the 3 months until my little light told me it was time to order a new one. I ordered one and replaced the filter. One week later, pop, the plastic seal broke yet again and water again was all over my floor. I was very, very lucky to be at home and in the kitchen BOTH times they broke, otherwise I would have come home to a flooded house as the water comes out at full force. I would recommend spending the extra money for a different filter. I know I will from now on.........

Like DigitalMan's review, I too decided to try to save some money and get the cheaper AquaFresh brand filter. I ordered a 3-pack in October 2008 from another online vendor for about $76 (about the cost of 2 by Pur). I also noticed the black particulates (maybe charcoal?) when installing the first filter. I ran several gallons of water through it (much more than is recommended) and it seemed to clear up, although I forgot to check later on. Today, I installed the second one and I'm not going to try the third. I must have run about 4 gallons of water through the line. After noticing some particulates in the water of the large gallon pitcher I was using, I switched between tap water and the refrigerator multiple times using a wine glass, allowing for the air bubbles to clear out. The tap water was clear, but the water coming from the Aquafresh filter had black particulates and a few white fibers as well. It may not be harmful (who knows), but the Kenmore/Pur brand filters I used before never had that problem. I'm going to order the more expensive brand filters again and will drink pure Schuylkill Punch (what we call the tap water in southeastern Pennsylvania) until the new filters come. I still believe that many times you CAN save money by shopping around for a cheaper brand with equal or better quality, but in this case that's not my experience which is why I'm taking the time to write this review.

Want AquaFresh WF285 Refrigerator Replacement Filter Discount?

My Kenmore refrigerator said it was time for a new filter, and I was at the end of a two pack that I had bought a bit over a year ago, so I was looking here for the best deal. I considered these AquaFresh filters, but then was put off by the negative reviews and I ended up buying the genuine Whirlpool 4396510P filters instead (the one that removes smaller particles and cysts). They arrived today and I swapped out the filter, and it turned out that this AquaFresh filter was the filter I was replacing. I have used the two-pack for over a year (my fridge keeps track of water flow, so it's sometimes more than six months between replacements) and I have to say that I was perfectly happy with them.

They both ran clear from the start and the water tasted clean and fresh throughout their lives. If I had realized that this was the brand I was already using, I would have gone ahead and bought it again. All this discussion got me wondering about any other difference between the two, so I went out to their web site just now to see if it was doing the same job of filtering as the high-end Whirlpool one. I've posted their claims of removal below, and they are comparable to those of the Whirlpool. Take these numbers with some caution, though, because they acknowledge that these are 'internal' results. They shouldn't carry the weight of results verified by an independent lab. Anyway, maybe I just got lucky, but my experience was all good.

WF-285 Specifications:

Flow Rate: .5 GPM

Temp Range: 33 100 F

Pressure Range: 30 120 psig

43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar

43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar
  • Volume: 43 qt. / equivalent to 60 12oz. cans, Range: -8°F to 50°F
  • 12/24 volt power lead: 6' detachable power cord, 115 volt power lead 8' detachable power cord
  • Flash Freeze function rapidly cools the unit to -8°F, Warranty: 90 days labor, 1 year parts
  • Compressor based cooling method freezes faster than Thermoelectric counterparts
  • Inside Dimensions: 14.96" h x 11.42"w x 18.50"d, Outside Dimensions: 20.8"h x 24.7"w x 17.7"d

Update 6-2010 it's no longer $474 like it was when I got mine check around or research anything using a "danfoss compressor" and you will have a good list of choices. End of update

At some time we've all bought the $50-$100 "car coolers" for cans which claim they are refrigerators only to find out they at best can lower the temperature a few degrees if you always keep the door closed. The tipoff is in the instructions where it says you should pre-freeze the product before using the cooler! Real refrigeration systems don't need you to prefreeze cans you just want kept cold. Compressor based systems are so powerful they can make ice! The EdgeStar has a "flash freeze" function when you really need to cool down the box in a hurry. During a flash freeze, the compressor draws about 5 amps instead of its normal 3 amps but then returns to normal thermostat settings after the box is chilled so again your battery is protected.

The EdgeStar 43 quart costs $474 because it uses a conventional R134 (green refrigerant) compressor and evaporator just like your home fridge. This equipment is made by Danfoss which is the only manufacturer of 12 VDC compressors (actually 12-24 VDC to be compatible with the marine marketplace). Danfoss compressors are exceptionally reliable and will run for years.

While smaller thermoelectric coolers draw 10A for larger models, these larger boxes only draw about 3A while running the compressor on 12 VDC. Due to their excellent insulation and exceptional cooling ability they don't need to run continuously like the thermoelectric "coolers" usually do. Mine runs about 1/4 of the time on a hot day and 1/12 of the time on a cold day. Calculating amp hours from runtime and amp draw on a hot day you can easily see why the Edgestar doesnt leave you with a dead battery 8 hours later:

Thermoelectric cooler

10A @ 100% time x 8 hr = 80 AH required from battery for 8 hours use

Edgestar Compressor Cooler

3A @ 25% time x 8 hr = 6 AH required from battery for 8 hours use

Given that the typical car battery holds 80 AH in reserve, the thermoelectric cooler will drain it dead in 8 hours without running the engine. The EdgeStar using the compressor cooler is like running your headlights for 20 minutes and leaves you plenty of starting power.

The runtime percentage on the compressor does go up if you want to store frozen goods which you can't even do with thermoelectric coolers. I've made ice with mine without an issue and kept frozen TV dinners overnight in it. I recommend if you are going to use it as a freezer then add a deep cycle battery and/or isolate your deep cycle from your engine battery.

Despite the elephant in the room of the pricetag, the large size, wide temperature range, and construction quality of the EdgeStar is superior all around compared to the typical thermoelectric cooler on the market. You do get what you pay for. If you plan to have a need for portable refrigeration and/or freezing on the road or on your boat, this won't disappoint you. It's also nice to be able to take it into your hotel room and plug it in while not being on the road. Also where thermoelectric units need to be defrosted every 24 hours these units can run for weeks before having to remove the ice that forms.

At $474 it represents amazon's least expensive solution to a true refrigeration portable unit. There are other more expensive units with larger capacity which are suitable if you have space for them. So long as they use a compressor instead of the thermoelectric system you'll be very happy with the results. Ultimately the price is worth it in its ability to cool/freeze reliably and do so without killing your car battery if you accidentally leave it on all day without running the engine.

Buy 43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar Now

First I bought an 86qt,

bigger & heavier than I had imagined, but it's what I ordered.

There were electrical issues with it,

so I called & emailed the retailer, as they offered several solutions to repair it (myself).

The best I could ever do is to get it to run for 1-2 hours,

before it shut off, and flashed 2 or 3 different codes.

Once it was determined the typical fixes would not repair it,

they refunded my money without issue.

I still needed a fridge, so as soon as I got the money back, I ordered one of their smaller models (the 43qt I am reviewing now).

This was a dud right out of the box.

The fan would spin, but it didn't cool at all.

With the 86qt,

customer service eventually fixed the problem (refund),

so I figured the WORST case scenario for me would be more wasted time with a bad unit.

Nope.

They offered no repair solutions whatsoever this time,

even when I offered to look for loose wires, like the last time (I am an Electrician, so I'm sure I was following their instructions to the letter).

Their offer:

Mail it back to us (@ $100 shipping) for a refund,

or bring it to a repair shop local to me, and I pay labor to fix it.

I offered to bring it to any repair shop they chose, for diagnosis, on their dime,

and they flatly refused.

I was told because I was refunded my money for the first unit (86qt above),

they would be unwilling to pay anything else out for any other bad units I may receive.

(even though that original deal was closed, and this was an entirely new, separate purchase from the first).

After a month of haggling over the DOA refrigerator,

my credit card came in to rescue me.

I'm on Amazon right now to try to (finally) solve my need for a 12v refrigerator/freezer,

and I can honestly tell you, these Chinese units,

and their preferred retailer are not it for me.

Aside from that experience with the seller,

Overall,

I did like the form factor of this refrigerator.

There seems to be a very common issue of wires coming loose in transit,

but it is pretty easy to access the internals.

Product build quality seemed OK (aside from the wire issue).

Plastic handles are not for lifting when full,

and the latches are flimsy,

but the box, lid & hinges seemed to be decently built, and solid.

Had either one of these fridges worked,

they would have been a good deal for the price.

As for the compressor being a Danfoss,

It may be a Danfoss/Secop style compressor,

but it was sourced through a Chinese manufacturer, not Danfoss.

(obvious, with a Chinese manufacturer's name & Chinese characters stamped all over the compressor).

If you decide to give them a try, hopefully you will have better results than me.

Read Best Reviews of 43 Qt Portable Compact Refrigerator Freezer - EdgeStar Here

First unit failed in 10 days. Replacement sent to me appeared to be a refurbished unit and had a nice dent in the rear and a noisey whine when running. Edgestar gave me a $50 discount to keep the unit as-is which I reluctanly accepted because I did not want to ship it back again and be without a fridge again. This second unit failed just out of the labor portion of the warrenty and cost me over $100 to ship it back and a flat rate repair of $75. I paid less than $500 for this unit originally and now total cost of $675 invested and without a fridge for about a month each time I had to send it back. When I got the unit back from repair it was improperly packed and now had more dents and many scratches. After conveying my disappoinment to Edgestar management they sent me a brand new unit and paid for shipping the old one back. So far this third unit is workinig okay.

Note this unit is made of thin sheet metal and the paint is scratched very easily. It's suppose to be portable but is very heavy and awkward to handle so getting it in and out of a vehicle is not easy and since it dents and scratches easily don't expect it to look good very long. And note it is suppose to have 6" of clearance on all sides so keep that in mind when you haul it in your vehicle. Good luck!

I purchased a refurbished model at a good price, but when it arrived it didn't work at all. I pulled the cover and noticed that 2 spade connectors had come loose in transit (the connections weren't even soldered). Once plugged in the unit worked perfectly. I used it everyday in my office for drinks and snacks in addition to taking it on the road on vacations and camping trips. We used it in freezer mode on a 21-day trip to Alaska. Ice cream stayed firm all the way there, and 26 lbs of halibut filets stayed frozen solid all the way home.

My 3-year extended warranty expired about a month ago, and now it won't cool below 50 degrees. I gave it 3-stars because of the 3 years it lasted, but I'll be upgrading to an ARB, Waeco, or Engel before my next camping trip.

I received my new 43qt fridge and was very excited. I have an 86 quart model that I love.

This new 43qt is defective. After 30 seconds, I get an HH on the temperature display. Looking it up on the web, it states that the room temperature is over 104 degrees. The room temperature is 79. I have nothing around this fridge for 1 to 3 feet in every direction. I have my 86 quart across the room in this same room and it is having no problems.

Instead of paying almost $100 to ship this (very) heavy fridge back, I sent an e-mail to customer support via their website. I received a confirmation e-mail stating that someone would contact me within 2 business days.

Almost a week later, I hadn't heard from them so I tried calling them via the customer service number on their web site. There was no answer!!

The next day, I tried their customer service number again. No one answered but after several rings, I got a voice mail system that told me to leave my information and that someone would contact me. I did so. That was a few days ago and I've still not heard anything from anyone.

So, if you get one that works, you are in good shape, but if there is something wrong with it, you may find your yourself out of some money.

I'll update this feedback if/when I finally hear from someone. Until then, I would recommend looking for something different.

UPDATE:

20110903 I finally heard from someone. They told me that I would have to ship the unit back to them. I insisted they pay the shipping back (as it was going to cost me another almost $100). They agreed to e-mail me a FedEx label. After a few days, I received an e-mail but it wasn't a FedEx label. It was just a copy of an invoice stating their Return policy. I gave them a few days then e-mailed them again. No response. After another week had passed, I e-mailed them yet again letting them know I was preparing to turn this over to an attorney. (I am in my mid-40's. I have never felt the need to sue anyone, so you can see how angry I was.). Within a few hours I received a reply back stating that a FedEx return label would be forthcoming within 24 hours. I received the label almost immediately after I received the e-mail stating they would send it within one day. They let me know that I had to send the fridge back quickly or the label would be void and that I would not be able to return the unit at all. I took it down to FedEx and shipped it the following morning.

I received a brand-new fridge within a week after sending the defective one back. (I received it about 3 days ago.) I have tested the new fridge and it works very well.

I am happy with my new fridge so I raised my rating for them from 1 star to 4 stars. If it hadn't have been for the poor, slow customer service, I believe they would be a 5 star company.

Despite the quality product, I am leery about ordering from this company ever again. I believe if you get a good unit, you will be happy. But, if there is anything wrong with it, you will be very disappointed with the (almost non-existant) customer service.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have a pleasant experience and enjoy your fridge.

Spt Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 12-Bottles

Spt Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 12-Bottles
  • 12 standard bottles / 33-liter capacity
  • Digital controls with led temperature display
  • Environment friendly (refrigerant free)
  • No vibration (bottle sediment is not disturbed)
  • Adjustable temperature range: 51 - 64-degree f

When looking for small wien coolers, I was scared of getting a so bad one because while looking for cheap and small wine cooler I've seen that there are many reviews saying that the one they bought makes a lot of noise, broke down or something else... After making some research I decided to get this wine cooler, and I ought to say that I'm happy to have chosen this one. It doesn't makes noise at all. It keeps the wine at the temperature I chose as it is supposed to do. It's got a light inside so you can see the wine if you like to. You may like also to leave the light turned on because it looks cool at night. Also, I've got the Prime Membership, so I got the two days shipping for free. If you don't have the Membership, don't worry Amazon always send the product on time.

Since I've seen so many people saying that the Wine Cooler they got broke down, I will update the review if it happens to me. It's been a week since I bought it, and the cooler works perfectly.

***** The wine cooler stopped working on March 26, 2013. *****

Buy Spt Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 12-Bottles Now

You read a lot of reviews of wine coolers being too loud or do not cool properly. This may be a direct result of people not reading directions. When you move a refrigerator of any kind the unit is supposed to be kept upright. The reason for this is because there is very thick lubricant (oil) in the compressor unit. If the refrigerator has been moved, stored, or delivered sideways the oil must be given time to drain back into the compressor properly. If your unit was just delivered to you and the box is upright then you have to assume that it could have been on the truck for several days. This means the oil is not in the correct position in the compressor to be turned on as soon as you bring it home. The box this unit was shipped in is large and will more than likely have to be put on its side to fit in your vehicle. The instructions with this unit clearly state not to turn the unit on for a few hours to allow the lubricant to settle properly. I allowed for three hours to pass before plugging the unit in. Additionally, my wine was in my regular refrigerator and already cold when I put them in this cooler. This takes the unit less work to get the temperature down. This unit is very quiet and is keeping the temperature steady. You can hear the fan but during a normal conversation or with the tv on you have to really listen for it. For the money, this is a very nice and attractive unit.

I just got this yesterday and set it to 57 and it works perfectly. I just purchased some reds and opened door stacked them in there, fit perfectly and the temp didn't budge. I had a cheap (1/2 priced) 6 bottle Emerson that worked well for 4 years, now it won't cool down, it is being affected my our Indian Summer heat, which it never mattered before how hot my place got. This new one looks soooo much better, very quiet, no complaints at all, so far. I will do another post if anything changes, but so far I love it. Btw, it is positioned exactly next to my old one. So the placment is the same, and staying at a cool 57! Exactly where I want it. It is about 68 in my condo right now.

Have had it for a month or so with no issues. The light is a nice touch at night looking for a bottle.

Runs quietly and with 12 bottles in it keeps wine at 51 degrees (lowest setting) which is a great "chilled" temp.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at this model when it arrived over a year ago. I had room for bottles with the corks placed back in, in addition to having room for wine stoppers as well. It also remembered where the thermostat was set to in the event of a power outage. It would go back to the setting once power was restored.

HOWEVER...Unit died right after the 1 year mark. Doesn't it always happen that way?

Take it for what its worth.

We bought this for Kenmore 80 series Dryer, The part does not fit the handle at all. At the moment I thought I could not use it at all.

I finally figure out that I could take out the adapter(Not the Handle) and attach the Old adapter of the original filter. I finally did it but It took me huge effort, but I almost broke the part.

Now it is working well though. All in all, If you buy this part for Kenmore 80 Dryer, consider the risk.

The filter that came with our rather old Whirlpool dryer needed replacing because after many years of service its handle broke off. This replacement filter is an exact fit dimensionally, but feels a bit less solid so it might not last as long as the one that came with the dryer. However, given the age of this dryer, the new filter probably won't have to last as long as the original one did.

perfect fit and replaces original exactly. being able to purchase online, for the reasonable price was greatly appreciated, and swift turn around kept the laundry moving!

Vinotemp Vt-32 Beverage Cooler

Vinotemp Vt-32 Beverage Cooler
  • Front exhaust system allows for under counter or freestanding installation
  • Thermal pane glass door helps maintain the cooler's interior temperature
  • 2 metal shelves, blue LED interior light, external temperature control panel with digital display
  • Store approximately 56 +, 8 ounce cans
  • Temperature range: 40-65F

First, this is the same model as VT-32 wine fridge just different shelves.

I did a lot of research when looking for a wine fridge. I needed a specific width to fit in my kitchen, and wanted to stay within a reasonable budget. Well, now I wish I trusted the reviews about this model who warn you that it is super loud. My dishwasher is quieter than this monster! When it turns on I can hear it from my bedroom on another floor!

In addition, the temperature fluctuates a lot (+/5 degrees from what you set it on), which I don't care about much since I don't store expensive wines. But if you do this is something to consider.

I purchased the cooler based on the price and that it would slip in the spot were my trash compactor was.

I did a lot of research trying to find a beverage cooler at a good price. I settled on this one even after reading the

poor reviews and how loud it was. I have only had it a week but I really like it. It looks cool, and it is not that loud.

It can be a little noisy when it is cycling but not enough to be a deal breaker. I use mine as a built in, enclosed in cherry cabinets and

covered with granite, so it hides down on the noise. If you use it as a free standing cooler than maybe it might be loud?

I waited 24 hours before plugging in. That gives time for the oil to settle, and wont mess the compressor up if it

was shipped on its side. Temp goes as low as 40 degrees where mine is set. My temperature reading has a consistent

reading of 41-43 degrees which is perfect for beer and everything else.. So far so good. Im not sure about the longevity

of the cooler or how consistent the temp will stay. For the price you can't beat it. If your using this as a built in piece

don't worry about the noise, If you want a perfectly quiet one be ready to plunk down twice the money. Just make sure you let it stand

for 24 hours before plugging in this will greatly reduce chances of a noisy and dysfunctional cooler.

Bought the vt-32 beverage fridge to hold beer and sodas as a built-in solution in our kitchen. Unit worked well initially it looks sharp and was always a great point of conversation at parties. That initial love affair ended quickly though as the unit had trouble keeping the right temperature. After about six months the unit got even louder when cycling on and has now failed 18 months after purchase. Warranty is only 12 months so I'm out $500+ and left with warm brews. Not good! I will now be looking for another brand with a better warranty.

Fisher Paykel 17.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - RF175WCRUX1
  • Variable speed fans cool and freeze rapidly while distributing air evenly
  • The humidity control system prolongs the life of fruits and vegetables
  • Energy Star rated for high efficiency, low cost operation
  • The gentle curve of the radius door adds a unique look to your kitchen
  • Integrated water dispenser and ice maker does not take away from valuable storage space

Purchased this fridge after being very limited in dimensions. It came down to this and one other refrigerator that was not as nice. We chose this one and crossed our fingers. So far, it has been 3 months and we really like it. Sturdy construction, user friendly, nice freezer with pull out shelf drawer. Wine bottle chill and we love this ice maker....so nice to have a bin with good solid cubes. Great sturdy design. Only downside is that it leaned initially but the shop fixed it and the door handle for the fridge is a tiny bit loose. Overall, very pleased.
