>>>"1) I will have the ice maker installed. With the bottom freezer basket being wire instead of solid, if an ice cube fell out of the ice bin where would it end up?"In my freezer, it would wind up on top of something else. My freezer is usually pretty full. If you have an otherwise empty freezer, I suppose an ice cube could fall through the baskets to the floor. Does not seem likely as the wire bail/arm thingie projects down in side the ice bucket. I have not hooked up the ice maker so I'm not able to comment further. >>>"2) Does your freezer drawer extend out beyond the open french door? Whirlpool Customer Service says that depth with freezer drawer open information is "not available" for the KBFS20EVMS. I realize your refrigerator is 33" and I am looking at 36", but I suspect a wider freezer drawer would not open further than the one you have."Well, actually, mine will project out further than with a KBFS20 because mine is standard depth, not counter depth. As I pointed out in your thread, the CD model will only project out about 18 or 20 inches. The KBFS22 model that I have is several inches deeper to there is more room freezer drawerr. With a CD model, the drawer will project out about as far as the larger door. >>>"Any negatives you have noticed with wire rather than solid freezer basket?"Had not given it any thought but, now that you mention it, I think a solid basket (inner drawer?) might hold the cold a bit better, as with a chest freezer. On the other hand, I think wire baskets may give better air flow for more rapid cooldowns and more even temps throughout the compartment.

Hello, this is kind of amazing as I have the same exact washer, it's the same age and I'm also considering the WFW 88HEAW as our next washer when this current Kenmore breaks down. I've heard good and bad about this washer but out of all the front load washers that I've researched it seemed the best out of the lot. I would probably get the extended warranty also as it seems most of the appliances these days are not very reliable. Starting to think that maybe the Speed Queen top load washer might be a better choice. I'm a little skeptical though as it isn't very energy efficient and the tub capacity is not very big??

Is it the model with the ice maker in the refrigerator or in the freezer? I have the ice maker in fridge model and my only complaint is that the ice maker takes up a lot of room inside the fridge. I knew that going in but found a great deal during a pre Black Friday sale 3 years ago so I bought it despite that fact. There is only me and dh so storage for us is generally not an issue. Also occasionally the ice jams inside the dispenser. That has only happened maybe 3 times. Other then those complaints I have been very happy with it. I don't find stainless hard to keep clean a quick wipe with vinegar/water usually does the trick. Let me know if you have any other questions.

LG has a frig that fits your criteria. LG French Door If Costco carries that model you'll get 2 years warranty or 4 years if you use a Costco credit card to buy. I would not choose Whirlpool with their 1 year warranty. Ikea has replaced them with Electrolux products for a frig with a 5 year warranty. They show 3 French door units just over your budget.
