I'm on my second ice/water in door fridge. With the first, we were on a first name basis with the repairman very shortly and every visit was related to the topic you've brought up. With this second one, which we've had less than a year, we've had only one visit from the repair person and it turned out to be false alarm. However, he came armed with a new door (French door). When he left, he left the door with us. DH asked him why he didn't want to take it. He is not employed by the maker of the refrigerator (independent) and said the company wouldn't take it back, so we might as well keep it, because we would be needing it down the road. With this new fridge (an LG), there is no "fixing" the ice maker/water dispenser. You have to replace the entire door at an average cost of $500. I do love my fridge, but I don't think I want to ever buy an in-door ice maker/water dispenser again. But I know that will be an argument with DH.

We have an Electrolux CD FD with ice maker in the freezer. It's tight enough inside a CD fridge section without having an ice maker hogging space.

Because they are the first thing to go on a fridge, we decided against an in door dispenser. Also, they tend to get the floor wet in front of the fridge and we have wood floors so another reason they didn't work for us. We do have an ice maker inside the freezer column.

Interesting. We've had one for 9 years now and not a single issue! Never any water on the floor either.

We just have water in the door, not ice.

It's GE Profile.

We have had issues with ours (Thermador columns), but got the same fridge again when we moved bc we love having water in the door. My kids fill their water bottles daily. In our Florida house, we don't have it and I know I don't drink as much water.
