Kenmore Refrigerator Freezer Door Handle 2206934J

Kenmore Refrigerator Freezer Door Handle 2206934J
  • Dark gray handle
  • Does not fit all Whirlpool or Kenmore refrigerators - research by model number.

Our fridge is a stainless Kenmore Elite (made by Whirlpool) with dark black sides and what would normally be called 'black' plastic handles & trim. We originally ordered the "black" replacement handle (code B) but had to return it because it was very dark black and didn't match. We reordered the "gray" (this item with the J code) and that color matches. The gray (J) is very dark charcoal gray, however.

It was impossible to tell the color difference from the pictures or the description. Also, both boxes were ripped open at one end (delivered by USPS). The black-black one fell out of the box when I picked it up off the porch. The grey-black one had been wrapped in a bubble wrap bag and jammed back into the box so it wouldn't fall out. They both appeared new but the boxes were clearly cut open before we got them.

had to return it because it was the wrong color...they were open to the return though so I gave them 4 stars.

This was easy to install and was the exact color not black but almost. Same material and fit as the original Kenmore handle that it came equipped with so no issues. Packaging was a little clunky and the box was torn from shipping...soft cardboard crumpled and rolled up. No damage occurred in shipping that I could tell but a little bit of foam would have been better.

The handle was supposed to be black but it was a dark gray instead, very noticeable when you have the original side to side with it, annoying. But it did fit without a problem

Silent 6 Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator
  • 6-bottle capacity
  • Adjustable temperature range: 46-66°F
  • 3 pull-out chrome shelves
  • Enhances counter areas with designer styling

I purchased the Wine Enthusiast wine refrigerator (cooler) about a month ago and am happy to say so far, so good. I am thrilled with its performance, appearance, and size. Got it on sale for a great price too.

Thanks, Wine Enthusiast and Amazon.com

Ibought this item and it is working OK and silently. The lowest temperature I can set is 18C, and I believe that this is not OK for white wine. As I am not a big fan of whites, I will rate is as a four star

8 Months ago, my friend left the country and left my 6 bottle of expensive red wine ($3000) worth. I don't have any wine cooler at the moment. After a quick research online, I order this product. It's been quiet, functioning since then. It also looks good. I wish I could put more bottles in it.

I got this unit to replace the VinoTemp model that I purchased a year ago. The Vinotemp only lasted a year and then it quit cooling and I spent 2 months and more money than I should have to try and fix it. Vinotemp is not a customer service company so with that being said I am already really please with the Wine Enthusiast model. I think it is an excellent value for the price and if it quits in a year; I will more than have gotten my money out of it. It is quiet, looks great on the counter and is actually smaller than the Amazon measurements online which I like. It cooled really fast had to wait almost 2 days on the other brand. The only disapointment so far is that I like to use the vacumn tops on opened bottles and the door will not shut completely. I have to put a single bottle on a shelf by itself if it has a vacumn top and turn it diagonal to shut the door.

This refrigerator is the perfect size; it doesn't take up too much room on my wet bar and it the height fits perfectly under the cabinets. Wine just tastes better with a little chill to it!

GE ZDWC240NBS 24 Wine Chiller, 57-Bottle Capacity

GE ZDWC240NBS 24 Wine Chiller, 57-Bottle Capacity
  • Designed to install easily into 24-inch, standard-depth cabinet cutouts.
  • Monogram Refrigeration Modules integrate seamlessly with different lifestyles and design needs.
  • Dimensions: 23 3/4"W x 34 1/2"H x 23 3/4"D.
  • Limited 5-year sealed refrigerating system parts and labor.
  • Limited 1-year entire appliance parts and labor.

I bought a house with this refrigerator already installed. Looks nice, but the quality and functionality is really poor. The drawers are fairly narrow so any wider bottle of wine or most sparkling wines don't fit in the shelves. You can remove a shelve, but then it looks kind of odd. After a few years (about a month after the warranty period,) the compressor failed. The serviceman quoted the repair at $950!!!!

At the end of the day, this thing is really expensive for a what it is -a small refrigerator with a few sliding shelves. That it's so expensive with such cheap quality is beyond me.

I have never offered up a product review before. First, this is a very good looking appliance. And while I was never able to get anything near 57 bottles in it it was an attractive addition to the kitchen. However, after only 4 1/2 years service an appliance repairman quoted a cost of $800 $1000 to replace the compressor which in his words "was shot". For the premium price I paid for it I wasn't expecting to see it out on the curb waiting for trash removal so soon. I would like to caution anyone considering purchasing this product.

Similar to other reviews we bought condo with this fridge already installed long bottles don't fit (including the longer beer bombers as well), the compressor failed and warranty was already expired. Service man was very expensive, and his advice was it wasn't worth the expense of fixing it. He made some minor tweaks instead, so now there's a wall of snow on the back wall and it freezes things inside. How can GE get away with selling this garbage.

Want GE ZDWC240NBS 24 Wine Chiller, 57-Bottle Capacity Discount?

As previously mentioned, large bottles don't fit. And, after four years it stopped working. GE changed $100 to tell us that it would be $700 to fix. For what this costs new one would think that it would last many years. Not worth the pice.

The GE 57 bottle chiller does not hold 57 bottles. We had a hard time stufffing 45 standard wine bottles into it. The unit is overpriced and does not hold the bottles as stated. It is basically a $250 drink refrigerator with shelves for wine botles. Once it is cooled to temp, it does not make much noise as it does not come on that frequently good for the electric bill! The drawers do pull out all the way, and the unit appears as it should. I researched all coolers between 50 and 170 bottle capacity, and if I had to do over, I would purchase a much larger unit. There are many for a lot less money with the same chintzy warranty.

GE GTS18CBDBB

GE GTS18CBDBB
  • 2 Adjustable Wire Shelves
  • Gallon Door Storage
  • Crisper Drawers
  • Upfront Temperature Controls
  • Optional Ice Maker

Most of this is fact but I have included some opinions.

I purchased a General Electric Profile refrigerator on 7/27/08 from Best Buy for $2281.23. It had been working acceptably until about the middle of April of 2012. We called GE repair and GE sent out a technician on 5/2/12, but he didn't have the part so he couldn't fix it the first time he came out. On 5/4/12 he came back out and did a few things including replacing parts WR55X10956, WR55X10490, and something called a REFER MAINBOARD Pkg. He said at first that he was sure it was the mainboard. The charges for the parts and labor was $324.91. Then when it wasn't acting the way he expected, he said he thought it might be the compressor but that we could wait to see if what he'd done fixed it. He ordered a compressor just in case and scheduled an appointment for 5/14/12 and told me if I got the compressor he'd come get it.. The refrigerator allows the consumer to set the freezer and refrigerator temperatures. We set them for the temperatures that GE recommends. The next day the refrigerator was maintaining the freezer and refrigerator temperatures so we canceled the 5/14/12 appointment. When canceling, we told the GE support person on the phone that he'd ordered a compressor to be delivered to my house. The support person said he'd canceled that too. Several days later we received the compressor that had been theoretically canceled. We never heard from the GE repair man about coming to pick up the compressor.

On 6/30/12 we noticed that the refrigerator was not maintaining the set temperatures so we called GE again.

They gave me an appointment for 7/6/12. Today he came out again but told me that they had not allowed him enough time to replace the compressor so he'd have to reschedule. The first available time for installing a compressor is 7/16/12.

I think GE is responsible for manufacturing a lousy product and having awful support of the garbage they manufacture.

part fits perfectly in my Whirlpool icemaker and works good as new.

GE WR60X10307 Evaporator Fan Motor for Refrigerator

GE WR60X10307 Evaporator Fan Motor for RefrigeratorHaving discovered that my GE Fridge Freezer the Freezer part had stopped working it was diagnosed as being this fan. The only option was to get a new one fitted.

Here in the UK most parts are expensive so when I discovered I could get the part on Amazon direct from the USA for 60% of the price here in the UK it was a no brainer!

I easily fitted the part myself and result my GE Fridge Freezer is now fully functional again.

Thank you Amazon!

GE WR60X10185 Refrigerator/Freezer DC Evaporator Fan Motor

GE WR60X10185 Refrigerator/Freezer DC Evaporator Fan MotorI bought this because mine was making a whining noise. After installing it, it was quieter but still at low speeds whines a little. Gave it a 3 star because it did not totally fix the issue. If you do this your self you will need a pin pusher tool to remove one of the pins from the original plug from the defrost thermister. I got in the repair not prepared and ended up having to solder wires together.

Milk spoiling? Fridge runs and runs and is cold in the back of the freezer, but no air blows when you open it up? You can fix your fridge! Rather than throw out that >$1000 fridge, buy a simple to install replacement part!

This part was an exact drop-in replacement for the old motor in my GE refrigerator (same Panasonic part number).

I did have to remove a molded on silicone rubber mounting piece on the old motor's wiring harness (this is seen in some photos of this motor out on the web) so I could mount it on the new motor. If you want to do this (optional, OCD engineer step), slice the rubber carefully lengthwise along the direction that the wiring runs so that you can free it from the over-molded part. Once you have the old wiring harness free, you can slip the rubber mount onto the new motor's wiring harness in such a way that the new wires run where the old wires were placed.

While you have the fridge opened up for service, you should go ahead a check the controller board for damage (specifically the power resistors). Check the web and youtube for how-to videos that show how to measure voltage on the control board to see if it is damaged as well (Amazon sells these boards as well). I didn't need them, but I bet there are videos that walk you through the replacement process for the motor itself.

Now my fridge works great again! Spoiled milk? A thing of the past!

I gave this motor only 4 stars because although Amazon went above and beyond getting me the new motor by Monday afternoon when ordered Saturday afternoon, the old motor should not have failed in the way that it did (dead coil in the brushless DC motor drive as well as a horrid grinding noise from the rotor for months before the motor finally died).

Update: Extra, unexpected benefit -> our icemaker started working well again. It worked before, but was real slow to fill. So if your icemaker works but is slow, the fan may be the culprit there too!

I bought this fan motor for my Frigidaire Side-by-Side. The repairman was acting like a complete twerp so instead of paying him upwards of $200 for parts and labor I instead got this for $40. Opened the backplate in the freezer section, took out the old fan motor, plugged in this one (every plug is color coded) et voila!

It works, I am happy and the repairman is unhappy so I am even more happy. Plus my wife thinks I am this electronics genius. Ha!

My Freezer light was tied into this plug so you need a plug pin release tool to make it work I couldn't find the tool. I soldered the wires and heat shrank them its fine.

Supco RCO810 Hard Start Kit

Supco RCO810 Hard Start KitMy small freezer was not working and the compressor appeared to be OK. Using this item to replace the suspect start capacitor, overload, and start relay worked well, was easy to install, and reduced the possibility I was replacing the wrong component. The freezer is now running well for over a month. I would recommend this, so long as you know the size of the compressor to match it to the proper kit.

The only disadvantage is there is no good way to mount the kit, which isn't a significant problem.

Frigidaire FFTR1513LW 15 Cu. Ft. White Top Freezer RefrigeratorFrigidaire FFTR

Frigidaire FFTR1513LW 15 Cu. Ft. White Top Freezer Refrigerator
  • 15 cu. ft. top freezer refrigerator
  • Two Store-More humidity-controlled crisper drawers
  • One Store-More gallon door shelf
  • 2 wire sliding shelves
  • 2 full-width fixed door racks and 1 half-width fixed door rack

Within two weeks after the warranty expired this refrigerator broke down. The light would still go on when you opened the door but the cooling would not work no matter what setting you set it at. Now I have to have an expensive repair done. I should have known better. I've had Frigidair refrigerators in the past and they have all broken down. Save yourself the trouble and pick ANYTHING but a Frigidaire.

Buy Frigidaire FFTR Now

This is the smallest full size refrigerator available, at 14.8 cu ft. I bought one to replace my 21 year old 12 cu ft Frigidaire, this being the only model that would fit under my built-in cabinets. I thought it would be a little quieter, and well as larger. But no! The manual specifically says, "Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator ... the compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound." I rate that hum as about an A below middle C, right in our normal voice range, therefore making it extremely hard to hear the TV when the compressor is running. My old Frigidaire had a low pitched hum which altho loud, did not interfere with hearing the TV. Now who is going to buy a very small refrigerator? Certainly not a well-to-do person in a large house, where the kitchen is separated from the living room by a dining room, halls, etc. No, generally a small refrigerator is going into a small house. My kitchen, dining, and living space are all in one 11.5x23 foot room, and my Danish recliner is exactly 3 feet from the refrigerator. Every time the compressor comes on, I have to turn up the TV, and when it turns off, I return to normal volume. This is disgracefully bad planning on the part of Frigidaire. Which would you rather have a larger and noisier refrigerator, or a smaller and quieter one?

On top of this, once the delivery men install the refrigerator, one naturally looks at the literature and wants to send in the warranty card, which requires the serial number. My old refrigerator had the serial number conveniently inside the refrigerator on the right hand wall. This new refrigerator has the serial number on the back, so now it must be pulled out away from the wall to read the number. (The literature does not contain the serial number.)

You will also note that every photo of Frigidaires on the internet is so washed out that you can't see them. A company that has so little concern for the real needs of its customers does not deserve to remain in business.

Green Filter for Samsung DA29-00012A NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter,...

Green Filter for Samsung DA29-00012A NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter,...
  • Swift Green Filter for Samsung DA29-00012A

The green water filter for Samsung (DA29-00012A)that I ordered on line is not compatible with my Samsung Refrigerator. The green filter part number matches the standard filter part number that came with my refrigerator and it claims to be compatible on the packaging, but the filter does not seem to form a tight fit and ejects itself from the water filter carriage before it becomes fully pressurized (imagine a water rocket shooting out at you). I ordered two and thought it might just be a defect in the one filter, so I tried installing the second filter, but it didn't work either. I'm in the process of returning and hope to get my money back.

I took a chance and ordered a two pack and followed the instructions from the owner's manual. On the filters box it says to soak for at least 15 minutes. I soaked for 30 minutes and installed, but it took three tries before the filter would remain locked in. I then dumped 10 full glasses of water to make sure water was good to drink. I noticed a high amount of water leaking when the refrigerator's water dispenser was used. I left alone for 4 hours without any ice or water usage, and the cup I had placed under the filter (drip valve) was full and running over. The filter leaked when the water dispenser was used and when it was not being used. I then tried the second filter, but again I had the same results. The second filter I left in for 48 hours with normal water dispenser use to see if anything would change, but it did not... still leaky. I re-installed the old Samsung OEM filter and absolutely no leaks. I emailed the seller 3 days ago so that I can return and get a refund and have not heard back yet from them. I will give them 1 more business day to respond before I file an A-Z claim through Amazon. I will never order their product again.

I ordered this filter because the Samsung DA29-00012A filter was out of stock everywhere I looked. We got this as an alternative for our Samsung refrigerator (RM255LARS). I installed exactly per the refrigerator's manual and a few hours later, came back to a waterfall in the back of my refrigerator. The green filter leaked everywhere. We re-installed the old Samsung filter and the leaking stopped. Returned the green filter.

These filters were a great price, they arrived on time and installed without a hitch BUT I did notice the seals were a tad bit smaller than the brand name filter which caused a leak in my fridge. After removing the filter I wrapped the seals in Teflon tape a few times and reinstalled, they work fine and no sign of a waterfall in my fridge.

These work perfectly fine in my Samsung. They work just as well as the originals and are much less expensive. In fact, I'm having trouble even finding the Samsung branded filters anymore. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.
