Well, KA will replace (or refund) if the appliance cannot be repaired--but it sounds like a fan motor is something that can be repaired, albeit with a replacement part. OP, I guess my real reason for posting is that having had three of these refrigerators come through my door within 6 months or so, coupled with the fact that this refrigerator is a new model for KA, makes my DH and I wonder if all the bugs weren't quite worked out before it went out on the market. As far as your OTR microwave fan coming on while you were cooking, I know that is a feature some regular range hoods have. Because I knew I wanted to "control" my vent hood, I rejected hoods with those automatic sensors.

Look in the "Posting Pictures" thread. It discusses both how to embed them via Photobucket and similar as well as how to embed an image "standalone" so to speak. I think what's confusing you is too many options. That's why they're now separated into individual posts. The problem with the old one, as I recall, is it was generic and didn't apply to anything in particular...you had to figure out how to do it with your particular application. While if you're a computer person that probably isn't a problem, non-computer people have a more difficult time of it. If you only read the opening post and the post that applies to you, I think you'll find it much easier than you think. As to links, there are only two ways, either use the "Optional Link" boxes below the "Message" box or use the code. The second way allows you to embed links in messages and include multiple links. For this information, look at the "Posting Links" thread. Both threads can be found in the "Read Me" thread.

Take a look here, this transformation is perfect for your son's kitchen. http://www.remodelaholic.com/update-builder-grade-cabinets/ Other suggestions- 1) find someone like Trebuchet to change out your double sink for a large single sink (perhaps the same manufacturer will have one that perfectly fits the existing cutout). 2) add pullouts to your base cabinets. Ideally change them to drawers with new drawer fronts that match. 3) change stove to slide in style with stainless hood. The counter is beautiful and likely cost at least $4k installed. Not worth changing if it is not his forever home. I love my sink on the peninsula, and do think it would work well for you if the space between the arms of your "U" is about between 5- 5 1/2 feet, but changing that is not within the possibility of your budget. I like the wood flooring but that decision can be deferred if you are not changing the cabinet layout. Also the upper cabinet opening from the center over the peninsula sometimes works in in these older kitchens because the hinges allow complete 180 degree swing. In my kitchen, I deliberately added inset pin hinges to my cabinets in that location to get the 180 degree swing, and tested my reach physically so that the contents could be easily accessed. I have hidden Euro hinges with soft close on the rest of my uppers, but they only open 135 degrees. I will bet that even here at GW, nobody has ever noticed that my hinges are different in that location (benjesbride kindly linked my reveal above, the pin hinges are on the mirrored upper cabinets over the peninsula).

I, too, do not want induction as I have concerns about the amount of EMFs generated by the magnets You do realize that this is a somewhat ridiculous statement, do you. While the "M" in EMF stands for "magnetic", these are altogether completely different physical phenomena. To a physicist, your statement is about as meaningful as saying: I, too, do not want a car as I have concerns about the amount of manure generated by the horsepower. Yes, there absolutely is a historical reason why these words are related. But that doesn't mean the concepts are the same. Electro-magnetic fields are heat (you do want that, I presume), visible light (you are probably not particularly worried about the oven light), and extremely low frequency radio and long wave radio (it's all around you, no matter where on the planet you are). And yes, both your electric stove and your induction stove produces each one of these electro-magnetic fields. But they are not going to have any effect on your body, other than that you'll burn yourself, if you touch a hot pot. You are correct in principle (and that might explain your confusion) that both very high-frequency electro-magnetic fields (e.g. gamma radiation or X-rays) and/or very high intensity electro-magnetic fields could cause harm. But there is no way you could generate those without very specialized equipment. You might also have to upgrade to an industrial grade electric panel for your house. Magnetic fields, on the other hand, are what makes motors spin and speakers produce sound. Clearly a very different physical phenomenon. There have been tons of studies, and unlikely some electro-magnetic fields (c.f. X-rays), human bodies are almost entirely oblivious to magnetic fields no matter the frequency or intensity. The only exception would be insanely high field strengths that can only be produced in the lab. You have nothing to worry about, unless you somehow managed to get an induction stove that demagnetizes your credit cards from across the room and regularly turns your cutlery into shrapnel. And even those field strengths, would still not be enough to do anything to your body -- but the shrapnel might. In addition, induction stove tops don't actually leak magnetic fields in the majority of cases anyway. As long as a pot is placed reasonably close to concentrically to the magnetic induction coil, magnetic field lines all run through the bottom of the pot. Only if you move the pot off-center by a lot, will some small amount of the field lines leak. But that's a mode of operation that the stove top doesn't like anyway and it usually simply turns off the coil. That's why you hear people complain about pot detection turning of their stove on ocassion. What magnetic fields can do is induce electric fields in metals -- and only in metals. That's how an induction cooktop works. It quite literally produces electric currents in the bottom of the pot. And the pot thus becomes it's own electric heating element -- just like a traditional electric stove where electric current run through the heating coils. In principle, this could be made to work with any type of metal. But in practice, all induction stoves are tuned to only really work with ferrous metals. That's why you need special cookware. As best as I can tell, the warnings about getting too close to the cooktop are all about you somehow bringing a piece of metal too close to it. Not many of us have iron implants or iron jewelry though. So, probably not much of a concern. And non-iron simply doesn't get hot enough for you to even register. So no need to take of rings. But the real worry is about pace makers. When I said that the stove is tuned to work best with ferrous metals, that doesn't mean it has zero effect on other metals. It will in fact induce small currents into other metals. Usually, this is too little to seriously harm any electronics in the vicinity. But pace makers have wires (i.e. metal) and operate with super tiny voltages and currents. So, they could in principle be confused and mistake the stovetop for your heart. This usually just means they temporarily turn themselves off. No a big problem, as most of the time, a pacemaker is supposed to be inactive anyway. But if you go into cardiac arrythmia, lean unto the cooktop, and push the pot just far enough to the side that the coil doesn't turn of, then you might not get the shock from the pacemaker that you need that very moment. All the papers that I have found suggest that it is incredibly difficult to actually come up with a scenario where an induction cooktop would in fact disrupt a pace maker. But with very determined effort, it can be made to do so in a lab. Nobody has been able to show an adverse effect beyond 35cm though (that is about 14in). Nonetheless, manufacturers are paranoid about bogus lawsuits; so, they'd rather add an extra warning than giving somebody a way to sue them. You never know how a random jury would decide.
