I have a GE Profile French Door fridge that is 10 years old, paid almost $3k for it. I believe it was actually made by Samsung at the time and rebranded. I discovered this when I started getting water under the deli drawer and when I was looking up how to fix it online, discovered this was actually the same issue the almost identical Samsung was having. After watching some youtube videos, we fixed it ourselves since the tech who came out did a poor job. It has been fairly problem free other than that annoyance which started right after the one year warranty ended. If I could do it again I'd get a french door fridge with water in the door, but ice make in the freezer (do they even make that?). My daughter is obsessed with ice and so constantly using our ice maker and over the summer it all clumped up and then was dripping on my floor. We didn't have any issues with the ice maker until the 10 year mark so that's a good thing! I now have the ice maker disabled so all is fine and daughter is no longer crunching ice. Overall, the fridge is quiet and I love the interior layout. I just did a kitchen remodel and bought all new appliances, but decided to keep the fridge. I did not feel like getting another fridge with a new set of problems. At least with this one I know its issues.

The Integrity is the Wood/Ultrex combo and as far as I can tell, it seems to be my best quote. As for the Infinity, it's really hard to tell if their quote was good since they are the only Infinity dealer in the area. I'm leaning toward the Integrity strictly based on the cost difference. BTW, the doors from both the Marvin lines are for the same door; Integrity nor Infinity didn't offer so they quoted a traditional Marvin. Thanks for your suggestions.

Been a busy week so a little late to the party here but glad you posted the update AV. Please keep us all updated with progress reports/photos. Regarding using an architect or a person of design talent, I've posted elsewhere on this board just a few weeks ago that the major reason cited here for not doing so is cost and I just don't get it nor do I understand some of these fees being thrown out there to support that reason. Now, at the great risk of sounding like bragging but given in the spirit of illustration so I hope it's read that way, I've been doing this architecture gig solely for 35 years, have not won anything in the lottery beyond a free "scratch off" ticket, Mrs. Architectrunnerguy stays at home, have not inherited anything beyond an 8 place setting of fine china (whoopie!!!) nor have I participated in any jewelry heists. I'm paying all my bills, have enough left over for nice vacations, live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and have a pretty good life while not charging anything near what's being thrown out on this board. I am a believer that the best designers are fast on their feet which of course means less time to get from point A to B which means less $$ spent so maybe that's the reason. I don't know. Another reason is office space and staff (I have neither) means considerable overhead which drives up fees with marginal effect on design (nobody drives by a house and says "Wow!! Great house. That architect must have had a really nice office space."). Pure speculation on my part here too however. I'm glad AV's architects decided to try the real time design sessions she referenced above and hope they refine it to fit their methodology. I do these all the time. Here's one done just yesterday. All day but at the end we had a house conceptualized at nowhere near the design costs noted on this board.......And AV, note the piano in my studio!!......hmmmm.......maybe I ought to do a little number between sketches!!!

so the contractor's price is $600 to change out the the door and he leaves you the french door. If you're implying that the contractor should change the door for free (or give you a credit for swapping doors) because the slab door is likely less expensive than the french door...it doesn't work that way. I don't know what the trim detail is around the door but it sounds like removal of the french door and installation of the slab door might well be a $600 job. Does the price include all trim/paint/hardware installation, so you've got a brand new, fully functioning slab door when the job is through? Even more reason why $600 might be reasonable. Of course you get to keep the new french door and can do with it what you please. HTH and good luck.
