Electrolux EAFCBF Replacement Air Filter

Electrolux EAFCBF Replacement Air FilterThis is not the original type of filter that came with my refrigerator. Get a piece of charcoal paper and put it in the original box it will work better. I don't know what Electrolux did but this is a rip-off.

I've always previously purchased my filters directly from Electrolux for my refrigerator. After reading some of the reviews on Amazon I was afraid that maybe this particular item was a cheap knock off of the original. When I received the filter and installed it, I found that it was exactly the same as the one in my unit. For half the price of the factory web site, I'll be purchasing this filter in the future.

We have the Electrolux French Door model and the filter as shipped doesn't go into the slot. We have to cut off part of the filter enclosure in order to get it in there. It would probably be just as effective if we threw away the cardboard enclosure and just put the folded up black filter element in the cubbyhole. But the directions imply that shouldn't be necessary.

Delivered fast. Easy to install. Reset should be done afterwards to turn off red light warning. Reset could be done without filter replacement.

My refridgerator requires this product as a replacement.

It seems to be just a piece of charcoal paper, but it works well.

GE WR57X10050 Water Valve for Refrigerator

GE WR57X10050 Water Valve for RefrigeratorMuch cheaper to order the part from here than the company. And not hard to replace by yourself. 5 Stars

The valve is precisely the right one for our fridge which, due to failure of the original valve (6 years old) resulted in a massive icemaker leak and flood. A repairman said the icemaker needed replacement and probably the motherboard, but I tried to use the KISS principle and Kept It Simple Stupid. I first replaced the least expensive element, which solved the problem of continuously flowing water far more cheaply than the repairman's suggestion (which wouldn't have helped at all). As it turned out, after studying available documentation I was also able to repair the icemaker by re-engaging a spring to a cam (disengagement prevented proper operation of the ice sensing horizontal-sweep arm which thus initiated operation of the failing valve that did not shut off water flow). After a number of months, the replacement valve continues to operate as expected.

Dual zone Wine Cellar KWD28SN

This is a really terrific wine cooler plus was delivered before I hit Send to buy it. We have had it for four months and it works very well. The only flaw is that the temps at which the two compartments are set are a few degrees different than the ones that display on the thermometer we bought. However, this doesn't matter as once you learn the temps to set the compartments at to achieve the temps you want, they remain consistent. I suggest waiting for a couple of days before fine turning the temperatures so the thermostatic system can relax after its long journey to your home.

I did an exhaustive search to find a good cooler. Due to the nature of the mass of reviews I read on several websites, this was the only one deemed worth trying.

After looking at many different wine cellar coolers, this one was the perfect fit for the space in my dining room. I read all the reviews on the cooler and was a little concerned with the noise and brightness that other people have stated. I got to tell ya, the noise is minimal (occasionally will hear the compressor hum) and as for the brightness, I don't even notice (interior lights, you can turn on and off). I can fit all my reds, whites, champagnes (even with long necks thanks to the basket in the bottom). My wife and I love it! I would recommend this cooler.

I just received this for my birthday last week and so far it's working very well... I just moved from a place on the beach to more inland LA where the days get quite hot, so I knew it was time to do something to protect my wine. The capacity is perfect and the ability to store at two different temps is awesome (although I only have a bottle of champagne in the top compartment). The reviews seem accurate, which is probably true for the other fridges; all of which got horrible reviews. I'd never heard of this brand before, but I can vouch for it's solid construction and very attractive design. This seems like the wine fridge to buy!

Doesn't hold large bottles as well as I had hoped. Wish it was a little larger as well. But, it is working great. Nice and quiet and we love the LED blue optional lighting.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this wine celler for the money. The Dual zones are easy to set, and it looks great. I've only had it a month, but to this point I have no complaints.

Avanti EWC1601B 16 Bottle Wine Cooler, Black, Reversible Glass Door

Avanti EWC1601B 16 Bottle Wine Cooler, Black, Reversible Glass Door
  • Glass Door
  • Rev Door
  • wine racks
  • quiet vibration free
  • led interior lighting

I have had this wine cooler for about 5 years now and it still is working great. Which says something about this item. I love a product that is a good price and works as described and lasts for a good long while. It keeps the wine at a perfect temperature. I only store red wine in it, so I can't speak for white wine. I like the light in it as well, which I can turn off or on. I like that the temp. is also adjustable, so I set it on a warmer setting in the winter and a little cooler in the summer. I live in a very hot summer area and sometimes I am away for a week at a time, so my home gets very warm as I leave the air conditoner off while I am gone.

I also like that this cooler is NOT a refridgeratorit does not contain freon and does not use a compressor, so it is not an energy using applianceI never noticed a change in my electric bill, running this 24 hours a day for years.

The only negative I have seen in this item is that sometimes the fan in back is a little noisy, if you push the bottle of wine in the upper right corner too far back it jars the fan and it becomes noisyit is random, but since I have the cooler in another room it does not bother me. Most of the time it is very quiet.

This cooler is so great for the price, I am going to buy another.

A very nice, inexpensive 'beginner' wine refrigerator. Compact and handy. Received in a timely manner, in perfect shape. I bought another brand from a chain store, but prefer the Avanti.

I love my winecooler. An Italian friend from Veneto once told me that wine should be room temperature. I suppose that's room temperature in Treviso or Venice so this cooler is perfect. I could not keep wine in the refrigerator because it was too cold to enjoy,you really could not taste it, so this wine cooler is a great alternative. And it is a real bargain.

These thermo-electric wine chiller units can only be described as, "They are what they are." What they are is low cost basic technology, performing a normally high cost task reasonably well for a short time period at less cost than a full compressor unit. In my experience, I have had one Edge Star brand wine chiller, and two Avanti SWC 1600M-1 wine chillers over the past 3 years. All of these units work fine when they work... but they seem to fail after about 18 months. Some last longer, some will fail earlier in the year of warranty. Avanti customer service responds promptly to your problem. If the failure is within the one year warranty period, they will send you a new one rather than fix the failed one, or replace the one beyond the one year warranty completely if you purchased the lifetime extended warranty that some stores sell for these units. I strongly suggest that for this kind of wine chiller, you should purchase the extended warranty if offered. The performance evidence of this type of product seems to indicate that inevitably you will probably have to replace it when it fails after a year of operation.

If the unit is out of warranty, and you do not have the extended warranty, Avanti Customer Service will take care of you by sending you the inside electronic control board for no charge, or refer you to the nearest service center. The control board is easily swapped out... there is only one red and one black wire soldered directly to the board, and you can re-connect those wires simply with the extra length of wire that comes off the board without re-soldering them to the board. Also, there is a fuse in the board that could be blown. But the fuse is not easily replaceable... each end of the fuse is soldered to the control board. You can replace the fuse if you are minimally skilled at soldering. Leave the fuse on the control board. Solder wires to each end of the new fuse, and then solder each wire to the ends of the old fuse still on the circuit control board. Now you have created a new fuse bypass loop around the old fuse, with a functional new fuse ready to operate like the old one.

The economics is that if these units cost $110 or less when they are new, and last about two years, then you cool 16 bottles of wine for just $55 per year. The Avanti unit consumes only 1.1 amps of power at 83 watts... which is minimal electrical cost per year. If you buy a compressor type unit, you would consume way more power than that, and the $55 per year for the Avanti is probably comparable or less than the yearly electric bill of a compressor unit.

The durability of these thermo electric coolers is variable. Some last 5 years, others are short termers. It all depends on the environment you place them in and what outside temperature they have to cope with. The second Avanti I had just now died after 18 months of service. It's not just Avanti's product... I found that all of these "thermo electric coolers" don't last more than 18 months. You have to have them on surge protectors, because they are sensitive to power surges and failures. When the Avanti worked, it was fine and kept good temperature consistency. Avanti has the better technology... their internal "heat pipe" type temperature transfer method works much better that the standard thermo electric cooler technology consisting of an inside fan air cooled heat sink temperature transfer to an outside fan air cooled heat sink system.

My advice: If you want hassle free long term wine cooler durability and better temperature control, then get a real wine cooler with a compressor. The cost of a good compressor type cooler will use more electricity. Fortunately, Avanti will replace some of their thermo-electric cooler models if you are within the one year period of the warranty, or if you have the extended warranty. Actually, you never send back the broken cooler to Avanti. You just cut a three foot section of the AC power cord, copy the specifications label on the back of the cooler, and send both to Avanti. Within 2 weeks, a new Avanti wine chiller arrives.. the same model you had.

Avanti is now sending me the replacement circuit board, which I hope will solve the problem and salvage the unit. If not, I will again use it next to my first failed Avanti cooler as a fancy, attractive tool storage chest in the basement as a mate to the failed Edge Star cooler.

Nice wine cooler which works well and is attractive. I purchased two of the units one in April 2010 and the other in May 2010. The manufacturer's warranty is for a 12 month period. Too bad for me the first unit died after 18 months and the second one after 20 months. Surely one would expect more years of service than that. Now I am trying a different brand.

  • Security Lock adds storage safety
  • Compact design conserves space

Ordered this refrigerator from BBQ Galore. Due to a size limitation for the space it was going into we went with this brand based on the store recommendation. Unfortunately after receipt it did not cool at all. Had to return it to the store and we are waiting on a replacement to come in and hopefully it will work.

Whirlpool Part Number 626676: Motor

Whirlpool Part Number 626676: MotorThis part was four times as much from the company web site. It arrived quickly as worked perfectly, saved us a lot of money.

I ordered this control module for my 2005 Kitchen-aid Fridge. The ice maker stopped working and after a little internet research, concluded that the module was bad. Turns out that the components of many refrigerators are made by the same suppliers and in use for a variety of models. I removed the module and used the part number printed on the motor to find one that matched. I installed it the day it arrived and had a full ice bin the next morning. It was very easy to replace and I saved a fortune doing it myself. Buy Your Parts had the best price by far.

This product works great. The manufacturer wanted double for the same part. I installed it with ease. Everything matched up perfectly. I was concerned that it was defective at first because the motor would not turn on, but come to find out it was nothing more than the ice maker being on a timer of sorts. I left it on overnight and the next morning VIOLA ICE!!! So nice not to have to run to the store to buy a bag of ice any more.

Liebherr CI1650

Liebherr CI1650Extremely expensive product that stops working properly after 2 years. Frost started to build up in the back panel of my freezer, called the customer service who said the warranty is only 2 years and only the closed loop system is covered up to 5 years. He promptly said the problem is unlikely the closed loop system because the freezer is cooling and said good luck. You pay 5 times the price to have things break in 2 years with no warranty. HORRIBLE.

I bought a CI 1650 a year ago and it has had nothing but problems.

--hinges failed due to unreasonably low weight limit for custom wood panels (25 lbs). Even at they service tells me not to put anything heavy on the door.

--ice build-up on the back wall of the freezer

--compressor failed knocking out whole upper compartment

--ice build-up again, replacement moisture sensor did not fix problem. It takes a month from call to repair as there is only 1 service provider in the whole city of San Francisco

--Doors naturally want to swing wide open instead of being made with a tendency to close. Refrigerator was open 1/4" overnight and water came out the bottom all over my new floor.

I hate this refrigerator and the company that is contracted for US Warranty Service. Why does it have to take so long to get service? Liebherr will not give me a replacement for this lemon.
