No issues after letting the seals sit out to flatten after being in the box. If you don't let them flatten out before install you will have some sealing issues.

Get this part direct from GE for free.

We had the same problem with the water line freezing inside the freezer door. I determined this myself after reading all the instructions for diagnosing this problem that are all over the internet. Apparently this is a very common problem, stemming from not enough insulation between the water line and the interior panel of the freezer door. From my reading, I understand that GE's original solution was to send out a new, updated, freezer door for free, and cover the cost of it's installation. This was an expensive solution for them, which led them to a simpler fix of adding this heating element to the surface near the water line. It resolves the problem at a much lower cost to GE. And it does work.

Our experience was a phone call to GE's Customer Relations # 8003861215, option 5. I explained to them our frequent freeze issue, the solution(this part), and the common occurrence of this problem among many many frig owners. They took the model and serial number from our unit, and determined it was initially installed way back in 2001. They offered to send a repair person to diagnose it for ninety-nine dollars at our expense, along with a discount on parts & labor for the repair. I told them I know the problem, as it is chronic among these refrigerators, I can fix it myself, and I just need the part. They then gave me the option of paying a discounted thirty dollars for it with a one year warranty, or sending it for free without one...I chose FREE!

The water dispenser on my GE refrigerator would freeze up every so often; sometimes after only a couple weeks and sometimes after a few months. What a crappy design by GE. Nonetheless, after searching around a bit on the self repair sites like f**ya I discovered this little baby. I was a bit intimidated at first because it's "electrical" but decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did. It's really a low voltage splice that snaps together. No wire nuts. No stripping wire. The install was very easy (maybe 30 minutes, and I took my time). It's been a few weeks and no more frozen water. The hardest part of the job was pulling off some of the trim work so I could get to the innards. Just pull up gently and it will come apart.

Arrived Promptly.

Installation was simple. The most difficult part was removing plastic trim piece, which became easy after I figured it out. Took approximately 10 minutes to install and reassemble the dispenser.

I wouldn't say the diagrams/instructions are extremely easy to interpret, but if you have some mechanical inclination, you should be able to figure it out.

So far have had the thing installed for a week with no freeze ups. Before installation, I would have to defrost the thing at least daily because it would freeze over night. Made the wife very happy to have filtered water again!

One tip to get it defrosted initially: Turn your freezer setting to 0 (off) and let it sit for an hour or two. Then hit the dispenser with a hair drier for about 10 15 minutes (not literally; I mean blow hot air on it).

Beware of the fine print.

I pulled it out to install it and noticed it said for Metal Liners only. Unfortunately, I have a plastic liner. I went online hoping to find someone who had tried it anyway, but couldn't. Don't all GE refrigerators have a plastic liner?

Anyway, I could see that it would fit fine, but I'm afraid to install it for fear that it will melt the plastic.

This product was relatively easy to install and it took me about 15 minutes. I knew it was the line freezing because I disconnect at the bottom of the fridge and tested the pump first.

The wire is self adhesive by the foil tape and fits right underneath the spout. I did not even have to defrost with a blow dryer, the next day all the ice in the tube melted away.

I also changed the flapper at the same time as I believe the combination of poor design and insulation for the spout and the air leakage from the ice dispenser were causing the problem.

I know it is fixed because it works great and I can feel the slight heat that is generated from the wire underneath the spout when I reach up in the device.

100% satisfied with the fix. Lot less than getting a new fridge.

BTW, I have a plastic liner and used the product anyway. I do not believe that it is getting hot enough to melt the plastic liner. It was my only option or get a new fridge.

Will update if I have any issues. Good for now.

Whirlpool 2223320 Track for Refrigerator

One of my tracks broke at the front end due to fatigue from the open drawer hanging on it. I discovered that the left and right bracket are the same, so I swapped them. Now the broken part of one track is at the rear where it doesn't matter. A little black ABS cement from your local hardware store will work to glue the broken piece back on (tracks are ABS, not PVC, and white ABS glue cannot be found). I avoided having to buy a new track for the time being and the drawer slides just fine. While researching for a replacement, I found Amazon is the best price I could find.

The vendor did a wonderful job shipping as soon as I ordered. Much faster than another company that claimed the product was in-stock but in fact waited over 8 weeks to get it from a distributor.

These tracks did not fit directly in my refrigerator. They have extra round knobs on each end that get in the way. After I sawed and filed those down, they fit perfectly. Apparently Whirlpool has changed the design of some components and not others. Now the track fits and holds the drawer securely.

I had to file down 2 plastic nibs like I read in another review to make it fit, but other than that, it was exactly what I needed.

HAIER HNSE032 3.2 CUBIC-FT REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER (WHITE)

Love the overall product, just hate that the plastic shelf for the gallon door bin broke within first week of purchase. It got stuck and when we opened door, it broke off. It's $17+ to buy replacement part, so we just don't use bottom half of door. Really like the top half of door that holds 8 drink cans! Maybe they should have done away with bottom shelf and made entire door can holder. We got it on sale for a little over $100 at Walmart last year, so it's definitely worth that price. I'm not sure I'd pay much more than that though.

• Convenient Racks on Door For Extra Storage

I bought the Avanti 1.7 cube refridgerator for my bedroom. The fridge only worked for 3 weeks and then the fan in the back just stopped working. THREE WEEKS! Avanti would not give me my money back or exchange my fridge for another one. This was a huge waste of money, I had to go out and spend another $80 because this horrible product worked for less than a month. I would NEVER recommend this fridge or this brand to anyone!!

Two years ago, I bought four refrigerators by AVANTI and within a year, one was already not functioning anymore.

Three months ago, a second one gave up.

The first time, they changed the unit because it was under warranty.

The second time they refused to change it because they said that it was not under warranty anymore.

Now I know why the warranty is only 1 year...because there product is not reliable and I advise any reader to go with another brand if you don't want to be in the same situation.

Two fridges down out of 4...do the maths ;-)

Haier HVZ035ABS 35-Bottle Capacity Extra large Wine Cellar, Black

• Heavy duty brushed metal handle with flat glass door with blue gray tint and graphite trim
• Adjustable dual electronic flexi zone with an automatic setting for red and white wine
• 5 flat wire vinyl coated storage reacks and 2 half depth racks
• Dual function LED readout with soft interior lighting
• Leveling legs and a automatic door stop

NICE CONCEPT, BUT I WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT BUYING HAIER.

This is a nice compact wine cooler. The top shelf will go down to 43 degrees (if it is working) for 10 bottles of white and the bottom shelf will go down to 56 degrees for 25 bottles of red. It is a small size that can fit into a corner. It is a good height, being about the height of countertop. You can take shelves out so you can store magnums.

The unit has adjustable feet for leveling, but there is not adjustment available. It is easy to unscrew a foot all of the way out, and then it is difficult to screw back in. I ended up putting a coaster under one of the feet to level the unit.

BUT IT IS VERY POOR QUALITY.

When I got the unit home, I found it had a broken door and would not seal. The manual says, don't return the unit, but call for service.

Haier contracts out the service to the same company that does home service calls for Sears. I called and someone came within a week. They found that the door was broken and needed to be replaced.

A new door was ordered from Haier. It took about 3 months for a door to come. Haier sent 2 doors, because both doors were badly chipped. I guess they felt we would just choose the one that was the best. Then Haier sent out 3 more doors, each one worse than the next.

I was getting nowhere with Haier, so I sent an email to the company headquarters in China. I finally got some action, and Haier said they would replace my entire unit.

I did get a "new" unit. It was kind of dinged up, but the door sealed.

Also, some of the shelves do not stay in place.

After about 30 days of running, the unit will start making a lot of noise. There is actually a thing in the owners manual about this. It says if the cooler starts making noise, unplug it for a little while. Of course, this is a bid pain, if you have the cooler up against the wall and the plug is not easy to access. It means about once a month, you need to empty the wine cooler, move it out from the wall, unplug, wait and push it back.

After 5 months, this new unit stopped cooling on the top shelf. I called Haier and they said it is no longer under warranty, since I purchased the unit over a year ago. But, the first unit was bad for 7 months and not really usuable. I've only had a "working" unit for 5 months.

I am now going to appeal to corporated headquarters and see if they will do something about it.

I bought this dual-temp wine fridge about 2 months ago, and so far everything has been great. It came assembled for about $60 shipping, set up in a minute, and has been quietly keeping my white and red cool since.

The unit is pretty large make sure to check the dimensions. It's attractive in black with a silver bezel around the glass door. The two LED temp displays are bright blue almost bright enough to be a night light.

Setting the temperatures is pretty easy. It works like setting your average bedside alarm clock. I chose to have the top (smaller) portion at 46 for white and the lower (larger) portion at 62 for red. I haven't tried putting my own thermometer in to test the temp, but the digits rarely deviate from what I set them at, even during the 80+ degree days at the end of the summer.

In terms of noise, it's relatively inconspicuous. When the compressor turns on, there is a hum but it's not enough to bother me at all in my mid-size living room, even while working or watching a movie. This was one of my concerns to begin with and this product makes the grade. Silent would be better, but I'm very content.

I haven't had it long enough to test more than a few wines that have been stored in the fridge, and that'll be the real test. We'll gave to wait and see, but expect the results will be favorable. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

This product is terrible. It was given to me as engagement gift by my parents and after one month it stopped cooling in the top chamber. After getting a replacement unit the new unit is now also no working. My dad also had problems with his. We have gone through 4 of these things. Haier should be ashamed selling defective products like this. I will never buy another Haier product ever again...

It has been an up and down road so far with this fridge. I excitedly arrived home to see my new wine fridge waiting for me at my front door. To my dismay it looked like the box had been badly handled either from FedEx or from the Amazon warehouse. After fighting it down my basement (it I pretty heavy you are better off having helped to move it) I was nervous about unpacking fearing that it may have been damaged. To my surprise the refrigerator was in perfect condition and it seemed like the box took the brunt of the beating.

Got it out of the box, plugged in and ready to go. The controls are pretty straight forward to use and you can easily set the temperatures for the two zones. i have not yet put a separate thermometer in the fridge to test the accuracy of the digital read outs but my guess is the are close within a few degrees. It quickly cooled down to the set temperatures and I fully loaded in my wine. The wire shelves are decent for supporting the wine but they are basically useless in trying to slide them out to see what wines are on each rack.

After loading the wine I closed the door and realized that the light would not turn off. After further detective work I realized that the switch at the bottom of the door was broken and was leaving the light on. After jamming a piece of paper into the switch I was able to turn the light off. Pretty disgusted that I had to call Haier the very first night of operation to get a service tech. The first woman I spoke with was an absolutely miserable human. She literally made me hang up and call back because she could not wait 30 seconds to get the Amazon receipt. They are VERY particular that the information you give them on the phone EXACTLY matches the sales slip. Frustrated I called back and spoke with a nice gentleman that was much for helpful. They scheduled me a service call a few days later. The repair man is supposed to be here today, we will see how that goes.

The Haier is in the basement so noise it not of real concern to me, but it seems to be extremely quite. Relative to the beverage fridge I have next to it, it is pretty silent.

Size is very spacious, as you can easily fit 10+ bottles of red on the top, it is really made for 10 on the top but there is room to stake on a second row. Bigger bottles are tight down below but the bottom to shelves to a nice job of handling the larger bottles like a chardonnay.

As I said for the price I don't think you can find a two-zone of this size cheaper. I would recommend this Haier.

Refrigerator was delivered with shattered front glass door. I believe it was shipped that way because outer box was in perfect shape. A return/exchange through Amazon was arranged. It's not easy to pack one of these back up. Replacement unit has cracked front door frame near the hinge. Getting no where so far with Haier for replacement door that was promised 4 months ago. All done with Haier products and large items from Amazon.
