Plumberry, Thanks, but I don't want to "lead you astray." This could be total baloney, so please check it out for yourself. My wife and I both liked their SxS counter-depth refrigerator and even now it's still tempting... [Hey Samsung guy(since you're auditing this discussion) give me a written, well-supported guarantee I'll get whatever parts I need within 24hrs of ordering them and I'll buy that Side by side right now!! Make contact with me prior to Thursday the 10th of June and you've sold a refrigerator (assuming you will match the lowest price at "HomeEverything.com"). I will also let Plumberry know - give him the same guarantee and you might sell another. Think about it!] Well, Plumberry - let's see what happens. Rich (PA fiddler) PS - This is probably showing up on Psydex right now, so somebody at Samsung is reading it - what will they do?. Hey Samsung - While you're at it, see if you can beat HomeEverything.com's price and terms.

Is the height restriction b/c of the cabinets above? If so, have you considered taking down those cabinets, getting the refrigerator you'd like and then either modifying those cabinets or putting something else there (open shelves, or something else)? [You might be able to take off the doors, shorten the cabinet carcass and then put some decorative items in the resized cabinet w/o the doors...doors are harder to modify.]

Thanks everyone definitely some food for thought. I will say that our handle on our FD freezer is loose b/c of how full it gets and how much we use it. Our fridge part has never been close to overflowing. I do love the french door fridge part. It's the freezer part driving me crazy. I went to look at them today, big mistake of taking my 2.5 year old. She loved how her sneakers made a noise and echoed when she ran around, which led her to becoming a maniac and sprinting around the large warehouse and screaming every time I picked her up b/c she wanted to make the noise. So embarrassing, she is usually fairly well behaved. So we had to cut the trip short as I carried my screaming child out, again so embarrassing. They did have the DCS range and refrigerator out. I ordered the DCS a while back when they had a great deal going so it was nice to see in person. The stainless is definitely a bit different so it probably makes sense to order the fridge in the same stainless (nothing like ordering appliances based on appearance). The have a sxs in our budget, the FD exceeds it. It is one of the few SxS that does not have water/ice in the door (what I prefer). Pretty sure we are going to do that. It was so nice to hear how many people hated the sxs because a lot of the reasons will not pertain to us or can be solved thought still will miss the FD fridge. My kid is still young so we don't really eat that much frozen pizza, when she gets bigger she can make a trip to the basement to pull it out of the freezer, LOL. As for tray storage/sheet cakes we will just have go into the basement and use the fridge down there. It seems like there is no perfect solution (other than a 48" one haha). If we hate it, it easy enough to switch out in a few years....

Eighth character in WP model numbers has long been code for the model-year (market introduction) ... but I is not a valid code, so they may have changed the syntax (which they do occasionally when too many cyclic repetitions occur, or maybe just for refrigeration products) for the ninth character. H fits for 2018, WRSA88FIHZ and WRS588FIHZ are the same in that respect. The next character after the market year is color/finish ... which you'll notice it changes on WP's web site when different color choices are selected. The next one or two characters (always numbers) after the color is engineering revision, which is noted on the tag ON the appliance but not in sales literature or web site references. Sometimes a model is produced for several years after introduction, which may be evidenced by a high-count engineering revision. My parents have a wall oven tagged as a 1995 model-year (or 2014 but they've had it much longer than that). The engineering revision is 15 and the serial indicates production in 2005. Revisions typically range from 0 to 3 so 15 for a very long-time production fits with 1995 model-year and 2005 production-year.
