No, that is not so, Allesandro, in fact most Web authors who are dedicated to producing interoperable pages -- those that will render in all user agents -- use text editors to hand code HTML Markup. Automatic code generators ("canned" Web page software) frequently employ non-standard propriety HTML Markup that may render correctly in the more popular graphical Browsers, but not in other rendering agents. Although these software packages are getting better at generating interoperable pages, most still fall short, not even providing alternate text for images (as we are not doing here) thus violating the requirements of accessibility for people with disabilities. While the majority of Rendering Agents used on the Internet are Graphical Browsers that display text and images (such as MSIE, FireFox, Opera, et al), Textual Browsers that only display text and Screen Readers that read pages from left to right -- top to bottom -- and render the text as synthesized speech are also frequently employed, particularly by People with Disabilities. The major premise of the principle of Interoperability, as advanced by the W3C, is that Web pages which contain valid HTML markup -- measured against established standards -- will function satisfactorily in all Rendering Agents. Conversely, pages that contain invalid HTML Markup with propriety tags and constructs (tag soup) -- will only function reliably in Rendering Agents designed to accommodate those tags and constructs. To get an idea of just how many Graphical Browsers alone (therefor excluding Text Browsers and Screen Readers) are currently used on the WWW visit ..... XHTML media type test - results ..... standards complying Markup is essential to insure correct rendering in all of them, i.e. Interoperability. The most frequently used method of checking HTML Markup for standards compliance/Web page Interoperability is to use a reliable Validator such as ..... W3C Markup Validation Service ..... most extant Web pages, composed using non-standard automatically generated Markup, will fail Validation (not interoperable). Test this GW page -- or your own -- just out of curiosity. Pages that pass Validation are interoperable (will render correctly in ALL devices) and garner accolades for the author! James

Avesmor...you described exactly my thoughts/feelings/experiences! We're also a tall family...ranging from 5'10" to 6'6" and still growing. None of us have an issue w/bending down to access the freezer drawer. Our bottom freezer drawer (1-drawer model) has 4 compartments... Deep bottom drawer the entire width of the refrigerator, Middle shallow drawer the entire width of the refrigerator, Ice maker + ice cube bin on top, and Deep drawer on top (next to the ice maker). The bulkier items fit in the top or bottom bins/drawers and the shorter items (like meats, rolls, "keep cold" things for coolers) fit in the middle drawer. As to crisper drawers...no, you only need to open one door to open them (at least in my GE Profile refrigerator)...one one each side...smart design! The only time I need to open both doors is to access the meat/deli drawer...it's the entire width of the refrigerator...which is OK b/c I don't access it nearly as much as the crisper drawers or the rest of the refrigerator. You do eventually get to know where you store things in your refrigerator...we rarely open both doors b/c we all know the milk, OJ, & Jam are in the door on the left; butter, condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.), BBQ sauce, maple syrup, etc. are in the right door; fruits are in the left crisper drawer; veggies are in the right crisper drawer; eggs, other juices, etc. are on a shelf on the right side; etc. "you get a temperature gradient in the fridge compartment like I described in my previous post" ...Previous post: "where dairy products on the top shelf sour before their BB dates" First...the "temperature gradient" you describe applies to any refrigerator/freezer combination & configuration! Second...the location/configuration of the compressor(s) (2 in many cases today) is(are) different in bottom freezers than top freezers, at least CD refrigerators, so your reasoning does not apply. Third...my dairy products last at least 7 to 10 days past the sell-by date whether in one of the doors, top shelf, or bottom shelf...so I have no idea why you're having so many problems. What temperature do you keep your refrigerator at? That may be the real issue. As to top vs bottom... In a top freezer, you can't "bring the items to you" since they aren't drawers...you have to reach all the way inside and dig around. With bottom freezer drawers, you don't have to "stoop" to access anything...that's b/c they're bottom drawers and pull out. You would only have to "stoop" if they weren't drawers (like stooping to access a base cabinet that has stationary shelves instead of drawers or roll out tray shelves.) But, they're freezer drawers...so no stooping! You pull out the drawer or bin you need, get what you need, push it in, and you're done! Why has the top freezer configuration been around so long...well... Factories are setup to manufacture them in the top freezer configuration......so it costs more to make something different like a bottom freezer configuration......which means it costs more to make a bottom freezer......which means bottom freezers cost more......which means fewer people will buy them (most people, especially in the past, look at price first and convenience & efficiency as very distant seconds & thirds)......which means there's a higher demand for top freezer (cost)......which means there's less incentive to re-tool for bottom freezer which means......(start at the beginning!) Just b/c "it's always been done this way", doesn't necessarily make it the "best"...it just makes it habit, familiar, etc. Obviously, just b/c something is "different" or new it isn't necessarily "best" either...but since people have varying degrees of comfort w/change (and most people don't like change at all...especially as they get older), people generally stick to "what they know" rather than trying something new. In the end, it really comes down to your preference and how you feel about what you currently have (and, to some extent, how comfortable you are w/change)... If I had it to do over and I had the room, I would probably go w/an all-refrigerator/all-freezer pair (24" freezer & 30" or 36" refrigerator). But, I don't have the room for 54" of refrigerator/freezer space (or even 48"), so it wasn't really an option for me. I have a 36" wide, cabinet-depth (CD), french-door, bottom freezer refrigerator. Here's how my freezer generally looks (I actually have a lot more in the drawers now...they're packed): All three drawers: Bottom bin/drawer: Note: ice cream fits in all three drawers. Middle drawer: Top drawer: Yes, we eat a lot of broccoli! LOL!

Eighth character in WP model numbers has long been code for the model-year (market introduction) ... but I is not a valid code, so they may have changed the syntax (which they do occasionally when too many cyclic repetitions occur, or maybe just for refrigeration products) for the ninth character. H fits for 2018, WRSA88FIHZ and WRS588FIHZ are the same in that respect. The next character after the market year is color/finish ... which you'll notice it changes on WP's web site when different color choices are selected. The next one or two characters (always numbers) after the color is engineering revision, which is noted on the tag ON the appliance but not in sales literature or web site references. Sometimes a model is produced for several years after introduction, which may be evidenced by a high-count engineering revision. My parents have a wall oven tagged as a 1995 model-year (or 2014 but they've had it much longer than that). The engineering revision is 15 and the serial indicates production in 2005. Revisions typically range from 0 to 3 so 15 for a very long-time production fits with 1995 model-year and 2005 production-year.

mtrot I don’t know the answer. I try to ask. When I go to private appliance stores I have pulled out my cell phone to look up the model number and it’s reviews and they (salesmen) are insulted. To dig deep you have to know the serial number as well. You look at the serial number on the compressor because if you were to replace the compressor or if the company were to replace the compressor the serial number would change. There are other refrigerators that have bad compressors too. Somewhere on here or on HOUZZ, never sure where I am, there is a large group that talks about refrigerators and you get on there some appliance people who repair refrigerators and they will tell you. Some owners have the ability to fix them. The biggest problem is water. Ice cubes flying out; water not going into the cup. That doesn’t seem to change but I do look to see how old the reviews are. It’s difficult because when you get a review from someone who just bought theirs in 2018 or 2019 and they say oh it’s just beautiful and we like it then that’s not helpful either because they have not witnessed the oncoming problems. There are no reviews that say that we have had it for 10 years and nothing has happened. I think the countries that make these appliances hate America. The site with lots of participation has one title which is “I know I shouldn’t have done it but I bought a Samsung refrigerator and I regret it .” That woman was a great spokes person because we were all together and I was watching each other‘s posts and she had just bought it and we were concerned. Then she wrote back and said that. Samsung is so expensive and looks good but is full of troubles including trying to find someone who will repair it. The Samsung office is rude is not helpful. I have made another rule for myself. If a refrigerator is on sale then I shouldn’t buy it or consider it. If word gets out that there is a very good refrigerator that will never go on sale. It’s like when I bought a speed queen dryer. You could not find one that was made in 2017 that had very good reviews. I ended up finding one that I thought was made in 2018. Brand new configuration. What I really had was one made in 2016.
