Please help! Bottom freezer fridge: single door vs. French door?
Comments (23)We are considering all the same issues as this poster. Our fridge will be on the far left of the row of cabinets in a galley kitchen, so it seems that opening a single door left-hinge fridge will be more convenient than an FD. I also am very concerned about energy efficiency and durability, so I have some questions about how well the FD models will seal long term. I have no interest in throwing my $2000 fridge out in 5 years! We did find a GE model that seems to fit the bill: PDCS1NBWLSS GE Profile Energy Star 21.1 Cu. Ft. Stainless Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - Left Hinged. We have not bought this yet but are still shopping around. We want a modest sized one like this (again to avoid wasting energy for space we rarely need), but there may be something similar in a larger size. Good hunting! Good luck!...See MoreProblems with KitchenAid French Door Refrigerator Doors
Comments (4)Kit222 -- Can you be more specific about the doors not staying in place? Do you mean that the right door pops a little bit but then closes itself when you open or close the left door? Or, Do you mean that the right door bounces open and stays open a crack unless you then push it closed? The first is normal. Open your fridge and look at the left door. See the flap/slat along the inside leading edge? When you close the door, the flap goes into a channel that pushes it open parallel to the front of the fridge so it covers the gap between the two doors. That channel locks the flap (and thus the left door) in place. It holds the left door in place when you open and close the right door even though closing the right door gives a little air pressure push. When opening and closing the left door, the the flap bumps against the gasket on the right-side door which makes the right door pop open a teeny bit (from which it should immediately re-seal itself.) Now look at the right door. No flap, right? Nothing to lock the right door in place, right? Nothing to really bump the gasket of the left door. So, opening and closing the left door will make the right one bounce out a little bit but not vice versa. But, that is normal operation. If your problem is that your right door is not immediately resealing itself when you open or close the left door, then something is out of adjustment. That is not "normal." Most likely culprit: your fridge is tilted a little bit forward. That is easy to do when somebody gets a little too anal about leveling the fridge. If that is the problem, just adjust the front leveling feet to give a slight backward tilt. It takes very little adjustment to accomplish this, nowhere near enough to have any adverse effects on anything mechanical (or the levelness of fluids in containers in the fridge if you have that kind of obsession.) Adjusting the leveling feet is covered in the Use and Care Guide that came with your KA....See MoreKitchenaid French Door Counterdepth (KFCS22EVMS) Owners?
Comments (3)We also have the refrigerator. It was delivered a few weeks ago. We also really like it so far. There are installation instructions on Kitchenaid's website that will detail the clearance that is needed. We have it adjacent to a pantry and fixed wall. There is not a filler strip next to the pantry. I believe there needed to be more space next to the fixed wall, but I am not sure....See MoreKitchenAid vs. Whirlpool 5- Door French Door Refrigerators
Comments (10)I am leaning towards the Samsung Flex RF28K9380SR in regular stainless steel or the Whirlpool WRV986FDEM in regular stainless steel. (still considering Black Stainless, but I was told that it scratches easily and that the scratches look silver!...) The KitchenAid KRMF706EBS is very similar to the Whirlpool, but is more expensive, and has a very organized, compartmentalized interior. It comes in regular stainless or black stainless and does anyone know if KitchenAid's black stainless is more durable than Samsung or LG? I also think that the Whirlpool or KitchenAid look a little more "boxy" and industrial, compared to the Samsung 4-Door Flex refrigerator which is more streamlined and elegant because it does not have protruding handles.... I really did not like the "platinum" grey interior color of the KitchenAid I saw. Is the Architect Series of KitchenAid refrigerators grey inside? What do you think? Also, what are the other differences between a KitchenAid and Whirlpool model since they look so similar?...See MoreRelated Professionals
