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.

Samsung RS263TDWP 26 Cu. Ft. White Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy Star

Samsung RS263TDWP 26 Cu. Ft. White Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • 4 Glass Shelves
  • LED Lighting
  • Twin Cooling System
  • Six Temperature Sensors
  • Power Freeze/Cool Options

Works well so far since we bought it 1.5 years ago. Two door bins have cracked, costing around $60 dollars. Our past refrigerators did not cost us much, each for more than 10 years of service. Those door bins were sturdy, from Wirlpool and GE.

More frustrating is that we cannot buy the spare parts. One of the door bins is described as "not available from the manufacturer" across the internet, including Sears Parts. Our Sears sales man told us manufacturers were supposed to keep parts available for at least 10 years by law. Go figure.

I do like the fact that the refrigerate side is not nearly as dry as the old fridges, due to the so called twin-cooing, or dual evaporator system.

This review is being written as a warning to consumers considering buying a Samsung refrigerator.

Prior to this (over a 36 year period) we've owned 2 Kenmore fridges which were reliable and durable, and gave us long service. We bought our SAUMSUNG at a Sears scratch and dent outlet. Various manufacturer's refrigerators were available for us to choose from we chose the Samsung based on price, features and design without researching the product since we had to replace our failing fridge quickly. Of course, buying in a hurry is always a gamble, and the house has the odds. We got a good price, but was it a good value? Read on and judge for yourself.

Recently our Samsung RS263TDWP circulating fan started making a noise which sounded like it was coming in contact with something. After investigating online for known issues I was disappointed to find a class action lawsuit dated October 2010 () where the plantiff complaints describe the fan noise as a precurser to complete failure of the circulating fan, heater element and cooling coils.

Specific to SAMSUNG refrigerators: the cooling coils have a heater element designed to de-ice the cooling coils from time to time. When the heater element fails the cooling coil builds up ice. If enough ice builds up it will impede the circulating fan. Once the circulating fan can no longer circulate cool air within the refrigerator the temperature rises and your food spoils.

Some people had problems within weeks, others experienced problems one, two, or three years from date of purchase. I don't recall reading about anyone having the issue greater than 5 years after buying the fridge, so I would expect a life of LESS THAN 5 years for this product. According to the class action lawsuit, the average side-by-side is expected to live ~12 years, bottom freezer models ~17 years.

Despite the recent fan noise our Samsung fridge has been functioning adequately. The ice maker works like new, and cooling is still good, but we are keeping a close watch on it. If, in fact, the circulating fan is hitting an ice build up it won't be long before the inevitable happens and the fan stops moving altogether. As this review is being written the circulating fan just turned on again and the noise coming from the refrigerator is getting louder and deeper.

Based on the class action lawsuit and potential for serious monetary losses I would advise against buying ANY SAMSUNG fridge. You'll spend more on SAMSUNG in the long run and experience frustration along the way.

IF YOU RELY ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR TO COOL LIVE-SAVING MEDICINES DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG.

Pay your money up front for a better product and save yourself the hassle and risk.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Drinking Water or (RO) Reverse Osmosis System Faucet

Oil Rubbed Bronze Drinking Water or Reverse Osmosis System FaucetI was so excited to find this. I have a regular Culligan undersink water filter but the faucet that came with it was plastic chrome look. During our kitchen remodel we put in a bronze faucet and brown composite sink. I couldn't have that ugly chrome faucet there but didn't want to spend $150 or more. This works perfect! Hubby had to get a couple of extra plumbing connectors at Lowes but no problems installing. Also the seller was awesome, answering questions before I purchased and then shipping fast.

I was pleased with this drinking faucet when it arrived. I was looking for a bronze faucet with clean lines, and this one had a rich, dark color that matched the Delta faucet we were installing in our new sink. The installation went smoothly and the handle on the drinking faucet allows water to run continuously into a glass, pitcher, etc. without being held "down" like other faucets we've had.

I have yet to receive the faucet since I just ordered it. I wanted to let everyone know the height of the faucet since it is not listed. The height of the RO faucet is 8 1/2 inches from top to bottom. The newer styles that you will find at Home Depot and alike, are mostly 12 inches in height so, if you want a lower profile RO like we did,this one will work just fine. Had to rate it before even received or I could not post. Once it arrives and if I feel I rated it too high, I will repost.

We had to get one extra fitting to make this work with our current under-the-sink water filtration system. It is so worth it though b/c the water flow is amazing. Wish we would have switched out our Rain Soft faucet for this one a long time ago. My only complaint would be that is there is something "off" about turning the nozzle down to turn on the water. I'm not the only one who thinks so, because anyone who uses it has the same thoughts. The color is on the light rubbed bronze side, where as the rest of our oiled rubbed bronze fixtures are much darker.

I needed a new RO faucet for my reverse Osmosis system to match my new faucet. The look of this faucet is very stylish and a great color match to my main faucet. Shipping was very fast. I did had some follow up questions to the supplier of this faucet which were answered completely to my satisfaction. I would purchase from them again.

Danby DBC2760BLS 5.0 Cu. Ft. Silhouette Beverage Center - Black/Stainless

Danby DBC2760BLS 5.0 Cu. Ft. Silhouette Beverage Center - Black/Stainless
  • 5.0 cu. ft. (140L) capacity beverage
  • 27 bottle capacity in wine compartment
  • 60 can capacity in beverage compartment
  • Integrated application
  • Cool blue LED lighting illuminates the interior

I purchased the beverage center Aug 2011, beautiful product. Broke this July and it has been a nightmare to get replaced since they were not able to fix it (3 visits from the repair company). Everyone at Danby was soooooo nice, but totally useless. It is now the end of Oct...and no replacement. When I called Danby today 10/30/12 I was told that I didnt send them the physical serial #, which I was NEVER told to do back on 10/2/12. I was told the replacement was being shipped and to call them when I received it to discuss warranty on the new item. Today I was hung up on by Maria Pineda, the Danby Manager of Customer Service because I was upset that this was going on for so long...really?? Thats how they handle an upset customer?! Please google the company and products reviews before purchasing a Danby product.

Purchased this beverage center 4 years ago. I love this little refrigerator, you can store beverages in one side and your wine in the other and there are dual controls for each side with a beautiful blue light when you open the refrigerator. The only problems is that it lasted a mere 4 years before dying. Repairman says it was made in China and the wires are opposite of what is normal in the US making it tricky to diagnose and repair. Turns out is needs a new master board which runs somewhere in the $500+ range because it is not a stocked item anywhere so it has to be special ordered. Cheaper just to buy a new one, unfortunately.

Overall this little cooler does a great job. Read some of the other reviews and wonder if I happen to get the best from the bunch.

Works real well till the grand kids come over and think its great to have unlimited access to soda pop. Trick like any refrigerator keep the doors closed and it maintains the wine at the right temperatures. The beverage side will cool energy drinks, sodas and gatorade cold enough to enjoy right out of the can. Unit was build into a cabinet we made sure to leave space behind the unit to allow for air to circulate. Have had it for a couple of years and it runs like a champ.

We bought this cooler new and have had multiple problems ever since. First of all, the cooler looks cool, with its blue light, but that is the only feature that we like. Although it is still on warranty, we have spent MONTHS attempting to get it repaired. The repairman advised us that this model is made in China and he was unable to fix it because of what he maintained is an engineering issue. He was very competent and familiar with the unit, but still was unable to fix it. The cooler has two sides that have independent/dual temperature controls. Although it is supposed to cool down to 39 degrees, it only dips down to the 50's. Both sides fluculate wildly. This was money down the drain. The repairman picked it up twice and kept it for almost a month each time trying to fix it. He replaced the board and when it returned the light didn't work. He took it back because the temperature only work properly for days. He returned and watched it and admitted that it can't hold the correct temperature. He left it here and related that he would contact Danby for assistance because he can't disgnosis it. Even the repairman maintained that he could not get any answers from the Danby service experts. The bottom line is that the unit is only useful as an anchor or something that looks nice, but doesn't work. After the warranty is over, we will just have to pitch it out and purchase a more reliable make/model. PLEASE, SAVE YOURSELF AGGRAVATION AND DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!

This has to be the worse appliance I have ever owned. Cannot hold a temperature, noisy fans, one side quit some time back. I have yet to find a decent review. Like I said DO NOT BUY!!
