Need fridge w/O water/ice dispenser-CD or (30'
Comments (9)Before buying the F&P, see my post about the noise issue I had to solve. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/appl/msg1000065218970.html If you buy F&P, be very careful when installing and moving it as the decorative stainless steel doors can dent very easily - they are paper thin. I got the model without ice or water dispenser for same reasons as mentioned above, but also I do not like drinking water that has been contained in plastic for health reasons. I did not like the french door design because it made little sense on such a small fridge and took up valuable space. I have to say the bottom freezer compartments are very nice and works well. I love the ice tray! The fridge takes some getting used to because it is less deep than a 30 inch - but we no longer come across the odd 4 week old mummified food item that got pushed waaaay back there! For extra space, we removed the wine rack, but left in all the shelves which means a reduced shelf height. The reduced shelf height means we have to repackage a few things for a better fit, but it works well after we got used to it. One more thing, I find the crispers are very good and hold a lot compared to our old fridge. My only real complaint had to do with the constant compressor noise, but thankfully I was able to resolve it....See MoreAll fridge with water dispenser
Comments (1)No on the water, but there are several freezers with ice in the door. Thermador, Gaggenau, and Miele all have them. They are all variants on the same platform....See Morerefrigerator which FD bottom freezer w/o thru the door dispenser
Comments (5)I am in the market for a similar refrigerator, and am also considering the Samsung. I love it, but the appliance guys in two different stores were scaring me with the difficulty of repairs on Samsungs. They said that Samsung has no US repair facilities and that they use third party repair guys. Deeageaux, is this really something I need to worry about? I've been a lurker for a while and you always have such thoughtful appliance advice. Thanks! Liz...See MoreMaytag French Door Fridge w/o Ice/Water in door -Anybody own it?
Comments (2)We have a Maytag Performa single door that is now our basement fridge since we remodeled & put in a KA counter depth French Door in the kitchen. Obviously, I don't have the direct experience you are looking for a recent Maytag FD, but I might be able to comment on several of your questions since both are now made by the same American company. Our Maytag is probably 7 years old & may have been manufactured prior to Whirlpool purchasing, thus some of my experience may not apply. The price seems great for a French Door fridge so if you don't need the bells & whistles this might be just the one for you. My experience with French Door is that the closing & sealing is hard to get used to. I do not think it is elegant on any brand. I still check our KA periodically, but I think it is FD, not the Maytag. The next time you are in a showroom open & close several of the FD refrigerators. You may have the same experience with all of them. We did have ice fall to the bottom of the Maytag because of the baskets, but I don't remember it being a problem -- sometimes the ice evaporates or shrinks in size before you know it is there. We fill our freezers quite full & often have small items pop over the baskets/containers. I felt the Maytag was easier to retreive items from under the basket than the KA is. My memory of ice for the Maytag was that the ice container was HUGE giving us more ice than we required. I used some other smaller container & had plenty of ice & more freezer space. I cannot remember it being particularly noisy, but our floorplan is not an open one. One issue I did have is since it wasn't digital (but didn't understand until I got a digital one) is veggies would freeze when we traveled. I ultimately would turn the temp up a few degrees to accomodate for the door not being opened during our absence. In all my refrigerators I have to work with the shelf arrangement to assure air is flowing properly. It seems initially I invariably have air blocked & freeze a few items until I can rearrange the shelves to make sure I'm not concentrating air in any one place. I love it when I can save enough on one applicance to justify (or purchase) another one. I say "go for it!". It sounds like your expecations will be met. Good luck....See Moremorz8 - Washington Coast
