Well, this one is a longshot, Daven. You do not mention which model Samsung you have, but there are about 50 Samsung refrigerator control boards on ebay for sale right now ranging in price from $45 to about $200. So you may not be looking at quite the expense you anticipate. However -- and this is a big however -- the logic board may not be the real problem. The fault could be induced by a secondary peripheral issue, a bad motor, shorting wire in the harness, etc. That is why I hesitate to recommend a simple logic board swapout unless you can definitely isolate the problem to the board alone, either through a thorough diagnostic check, or by symptom matching, e.g., known problem, high failure rate component, well-documented symptoms, and a high probability fix. Anyway, this may be TMI for you if you are certain you want to simply replace the unit, and who could blame you for that? It's just that there is no panacea brand to recommend. For instance, I have had great luck with our LG, but the reports from people who have had failures with them are atrocious. For that reason I could not recommend an LG, even though ours has been great. antss's recommendation of a subzero is right on the money, if you can afford it. You get the best quality but it costs thousands more. In the end I think any brand you buy has the potential to break. If you do buy a new unit, perhaps you should look at an extended warranty for it. (Shop around for that, Square Trade has a good reputation and may prove cheaper than a store-offered extended warranty. Best of luck and sorry about your fridge troubles.

I have Great Northern cabinets in my 10-year-old kitchen. No complaints, although because I chose inlaid doors, I should have gotten slightly DEEPER cabinets. Mine are painted, so I can't comment on stained wood. The interiors are smooth and have worn well. No troubles with drawers; do get full-extension option.

Stanton, Mashland, Karastan (higher end) are wonderful products, and I would go wool. However, Smart Strand is a good medium priced option. Agree with Elizabeth B…the padding makes a huge difference. I always recommend SmartStep. It has a waterproof barrier which keeps spills (and other liquids…(woof, woof) from seeping into the pad. Ever tried to remove a stain from a rug, think you have accomplished it and two days later it is back? It is because the culprit is in the pad and not the rug. If. the pad needs to be seemed, have the seem duct taped or as I have always called the product DuckTape.

awesome. thanks. I did get it today. for $1200 I got the steam oven (brand new but out of box) and a $700 whirlpool wash machine. the oven is weird looking, time cavity for how big it is, but so it goes. I have a 36" propane stove for big baking things. I do have a separate sousvide but I guess it would be nice.to go lower than 150... I would never ever convince.myself to drop $3k (or even $1500 on a steam oven so this was my shot.
