Fisher-Paykel french door fridge: icemaker problem?
Comments (3)I'm guessing that we have the same unit, based upon your description. I have had several conversations with FP regarding the icemakers low output. I have been told that the icemaker will produce about 18 cubes a day...way too few when someone in he house drinks iced beverages daily (like me!). It is a family joke now and our regular guests automatically bring a bag of ice when we are entertaining. : ( We also had ongoing service issues and various error codes kept my local serviceman busy for the first year that we had our refridgerator. Fortunately, those seem to have been resolved and we have been sailing smooth. In hindsight, I would have returned this refridgerator and chosen a different one had I known the issues. And now that I am ready to choose the rest of my new appliances, I will not consider FP products based upon this units service record. Too bad for them. Hope this helps in some way!

Comments (3)Hi, I’m planning for the same thing in my remodel, a lacanche sully and looking for a reliable panel ready column freezer and fridge, we are a family of 7 so I’m thinking of getting 2 fridges and one freezer. Still thinking about the other appliances, we had a miele dishwasher in our last house that worked well until it didn’t and we had 3 expensive repairs, I could have bought 2 budget friendly dishwashers for the repair cost, so I’m not sure I want to go that route again. What did you decide to go with and how is it working out?...See Morefisher & Paykel integrated fridge (RS36A72JIN) experience
Comments (9)Following. I have a F&P freestanding fridge, and have specified the same in a number of kitchen designs. Everyone seems perfectly happy with them and I'd say mine is as close to flawless as it gets. Have never seen a built-in model in-person though. I understand F&P was recently acquired by GE, for whatever that's worth. I know they have added a lot of new configurations to their product line. Another observation about built-in appliances in general: they're a huge pain to install, and the panel-ready idea is most sophisticated on the highest-end brands. Essentially, if you really want a great looking, trouble-free, fully paneled fridge, your best bet is Sub Zero, that that's out of the reach of most people. A number of cabinetmakers have told me this over the years. A client will opt for a less expensive "built-in" and/or "Panel ready" appliance, and even though they've spent a good deal of money, the logistics to make the thing actually look right are super complicated. So they end up with something ugly, or a lot of extra expense in the installation. Sometimes both. I think it's for this reason that I've really come to like the plain vanilla F&P free-standing fridges. They look sleek and work well at a fraction of the price of something truly built-in. I personally think most freestanding fridges are hideous. The curved front and brushed stainless just look really distracting in a lot of otherwise well-designed kitchens. And don't even get me started on the monstrous through-wall dispensers! Anyway, I'll be interested to see how the F&P works out, if you decide to go that route! Good luck :-)...See Morechristymoose
