Refrigerator ideas

Same as ours only its white and our sticks out too. BARELY squeezed in even after i took off the right baseboard. If the right door is opened all the way it hits the corner so we dont push it all the way back.
Best of luck with it!

 

I was going to mention that earlier.....that some refrigerators are what they call "counter depth" but didn't because I just can't understand why anyone would buy one to begin with. I would much rather have the extra cubic feet of refrigerator/freezer that to have a refrigerator that is flush with the counter edge. We have always had the "full sized" version as opposed to the "compact higher MPG" version and never regretted it.

 

Thanks all!

 

Some of the counter depth fridges are a little taller .
Sometimes due to kitchen design counter depth is all that fits. Especially with "islands" being all the rage these days.
Course, some of the regular depth fridges are a little taller as well.

My fridge fits in a wall pocket that limits what will fit. There's no counters or cabinets on either side of it. So if I go with a different size fridge I have to rebuild the wall pocket.

 

Sounds like my parents place. Built the to fit one refrigerator and when they needed to replace it only had 1 option that would fit.

 

By rights, we should have a counter depth fridge here. Lucky it was a full size.

 

The best refrigerator made is a Sub Zero made in Madison, Wisconsin. I believe they come with a 10 year warranty too (maybe longer). if they are good enough for Nancy Pelosi, they have to be good...lol of course you'll need a very fat wallet to buy one but then Nancy has a fat wallet. Think they start at around 9 grand and go up, way up. The fridge of the well to do.

 

Our last one was an Amana and it crapped out. Not the compressor however something went bad with the heat exchanger coils so Amy got a new one (Whirlpool) and I took the old one apart. I needed a new compressor for my compressed air dryer so it went in there. The rest of it got cut up and deposited in the refuse cans over a period. The local refuse company won't take fridges or window AC's because of the refrigerant so I cut them up with my plasma cutter and ship them out a bit at a time. Sometimes it's good do have a vacuum compressor and refrigerant gages. Refuse can was especially heavy this evening, it has 2 brake drums and 2 rotors in it plus 4 shocks and all the shoes and pads. It weighs over 100 pounds.

 

Rotors and drums are #1 I collect all I can and cash them in when I get a pile. There is a metal yard I drive by pretty much every week day so no fuel wasted to get a few bucks.

 

We love ours

 

They do look kinda weird sticking out, but they have great storage on the doors

 

It's still a work in progress but liking it so far. I will let me scrapper guy know he can come pick it up this weekend. The old one made it to the end and is now unplugged.
Another question for those in the know. Is anyone using soft water for the icemaker? Have not connected it yet but do have a line behind it but it's soft and we never used it. Other option would be a new line feeding from a non-soft water supply.

 

Stephiedoll I use soft water for all household lines.
The 3/8 line for ice maker will close quick with hard water deposits

 

I've never 'loved' any appliance. I love my wife and my dog and not so much the cats because cats are only good for 3 things, they puke, crap and leave hair everywhere. Cats aren't trainable for the most part anyway.

Appliances cannot return affection. They either work as advertised or they get replaced with another when they expire.

 

What about your Kubotas?
It sounds like you make love to them.

 

Ive always wanted to custom build a fridge, kinda upright and shallow, much like a set of cabinets. Rather than swing doors, doors that slide open to a particular shelf....

As it is, we got a fridge that had to fit through the pantry door, with the fridge doors off, I think 28" max. The pantry is a north room off the kitchen, with one window, and that stays open almost all year...the wood stove is in the kitchen, so didnt want the fridge anywhere near that!
