Coincidently it's my daughter's 3rd anniversary today.

I'm so sorry Ice! Condolences to all of your family.

My Grandad died on my 1 week anniversary. I didn't find out for 3 weeks. We were ok.

Good morning all.
63 degrees with an expected high of 77. Thunderstorms supposed to arrive before noon.

Mornin'.

Good morning everybody! Rain today so we have errands to run.

Hate to hear that. (hugs) to Mrs. Ice.

Morning.

Sorry to hear that, Ice, condolences.

Guys are bringing in my brand new fridge right NOW!

Mine just freezes everything. we have a styrofoam cooler for our milk right now.

The milk has been sitting in the garage, in a bucket of snow.

Tried the stove out...went the easy route and made a thing of canned biscuits. They're not great, but proved the stove works. Think it might be a little low.

More importantly, will have ice cubes for cocktails tonight. :D

As long as you have your priorities straight!

Morning all. Raining. Supposed to rain all day. Supposed to rain all night. Checking ark blueprints.

Might be a bit late checking the blueprints now!

We have a similar problem with ours - won't maintain a constant temp

I hate GE!

When we get a new fridge, this one won't be going into the basement.
Most likely, we will buy a cheaper fridge for the basement.

The current basement fridge is over 30 years old and missing shelves.
It was mostly for soda when son was home with his friends.

If the kids don't move back, we can most likely survive with just one of the dorm fridges down there.

If the kids don't move back . . . before when?

We thought about getting a cheap fridge and then replacing it with this one down the line, but decided we'd rather have on that makes us happy to start. I've never liked the freezer-on-top style (I'm tall, squatting over to get out food is absurd), and the side-by-sides make it tough to chill larger pans for cookies. The french door style is great--takes up less floor space for opening doors, good drawers for the freezer, and the slim line, in the door ice cube maker so we don't lose shelf space.

Love me french doors. Not too thrilled with the freezer. It's like having an chest freezer, have to dig through things. Really glad we put the old fridge in the garage so I can use that freezer space a lot.

dontwantaname wrote:Bottom freezer with the draw?

Hubby and son never bother to bend down to see what is in the fridge.

It seems that stuff would get lost in the draw type freezer.

DRAWER

Thank-you!!!

Fussy.

Frigidaire

My fridge is a Sears (not sure on manufacturer) side-by-side. I don't like drawer/chest freezers. I know I'd forget the bottom stuff.

Prolly a Kenmore.

That is all.

mabe you could ask a mod to delete it for you.

Ours is an LG.

If I ever built a house I'd have a refrigerator and a freezer side by side. Not one side-by-side, two units. My mother and my sister had a White-Westinghouse fridge that was all refrigerator. They stopped making them for a while but I notice some are back in the stores. Don't remember the manufacturer.

I have an upright freezer that will be moved downstairs at some point, so the freezer in the kitchen will mostly be used for ice and convenience things for kids. But really, the drawers are more functional for me--I have having things so packed that you can't see what's in back, and that happens with the standard freezer or the side by sides.

Oh...and this is an LG. We looked at the Kitchen Aid model, too, but ultimately the shipping time killed that. No where had it in stock, and soonest delivery dates were end of March.

We have an upright in the basement we're getting rid of. It's 41 years old. Problem was, I could never remember it. Stuff sat there for a long, long time.

Hmm. I didn't know that! Possible makers of Kenmore "brand" appliances.

dontwantaname wrote:I have nothing to say.

You say this a lot!

That's really interesting. Course, that still doesn't tell you if they're making it the same.

pooflady wrote:That's really interesting. Course, that still doesn't tell you if they're making it the same.

True. But knowing who did allows you to research reliability and pricing of the appliance.
