GE Monogram Fridge temperature issues - HELP!
Comments (2)this happened to me. would not go below the 50's but prior to this there had been wild fluctuations in the freezer temps from -40 to 5 above. the repair men were hapless. GE's answer is to replace the main board. I think this is probably easier for them than to actually have the numbskulls they engage actually diagnose and fix a problem. yikes, that is harsh, but it was an utter pain in the *ss to get it fixed and the worst part of it was all of the chats I had with GE customer service people. horrible....See MoreHelp us resolve this components issue, please!
Comments (6)That's an ingenious idea, regus (and so is your forum name!), but that won't work for us. Due to an inflexible configuration downstairs, the tv has to stay against the wall it's on, and there's a bathroom on the other side of that wall. We do have maybe 18-24" on either side of the television (it's situated between two doorframes), and I have a vision -- albeit sketchy -- of doing skinny shelf units on either side with a shelf as a bridge across the top. That way, the components are on something more stable than a wall-mounted shelf. Plus, then we wouldn't have the wires pinched behind the shelf and snaking down the wall, which in itself sounds to me like a bad move. Neither of us are particularly handy, though, so I need to find an off-the-shelf solution. I don't know if such a thing is feasible and, really, I'm not sure where I would start looking for the pieces!...See MoreNeed help deciding on panel next to fridge or not
Comments (25)With Cabico, we got a 28 in panel and an 28 in deep cabinet. It was a little extra, but we thought it was worth it. Esp. since our fridge is at the end of the run, I like the look we ended up with: My sister has a similar setup (also Cabico, 28 in panels and 28 in cabinet) with a 24" pantry on one side and regular upper and lower cabinets on the other side, and it also looks very nice in the context of her layout. I really like having the cabinet at 28" because it makes it SO much more accessible (much easier to reach up above the fridge than up AND over). BTW, you might want to ask your KD to double-check with Decora. In our case, there were a couple of items that I wanted (customized pull-out door, and spice pull-outs in upper cabinets) that our KD said "Cabico doesn't do that". I asked her to check with Cabico while she was calling about something else, and they told her "sure, we can do that"! As good as KDs are, they may not be aware of all the "extras" that a certain cabinet maker can do. And, FYI, all you really need is the 28 in panels. A 24 in cabinet can be installed forward 4 in, by building up behind it (and you won't really miss the 4 in in the back!)....See MoreFridge Next to Wall---what's the issue?
Comments (4)I just measured my LG and if I want to open the crisper drawers or deli drawer, I need to have at least 12" of clearance from the side of the fridge to accomodate the door angle, door thickness, and door handle. The doors really do take up a lot of space because they are so thick (3.5" thick) and the handles stick out another 2.5", plus you need to open the door more than 90 degrees. I think the same is true of side by side fridges as well....See Moreremodelfla
