New KitchenAid French Door - Freezing Liquids INSIDE Fridge
Comments (8)We have a new KitchenAid french door fridge with the ice maker/water dispenser. Although we have my ice maker hooked up we occasionally will find liquids have frozen. Generally these are items placed just below or next to the icemaker box. I think it happens more when the we've used a lot of ice. What may be happening is there isn't enough mass/material in the ice maker to keep it cold. (Some people recommend putting water bottles in deep freezers if they are not full, they say the compressor has to work less.) You may try putting some ice in the compartment and see if the problem goes away I also find some items in the back of the meat drawer tend to freeze too. Unfortunately I have not found a pattern to this....See MoreX-post French Cleat mounting hdwr 4 insert vent?

Comments (3)I think you could do, IF you left the steel shelf supports under there to prevent it twisting off the wall. W/O them it is too short to use the cleat mounting. Casey...See MoreCan this shelf hang on a french cleat hardware system? Please help!
Comments (6)I would mount this directly to the wall much the way you would mount a kitchen cabinet. First lightly pencil the outline of the shelf against the wall. Then using a stud finder locate two studs. As studs are usually 16" apart you should be able to find two. With the shelf off and a small nail make certain of where your studs are and mark the studs locations above the shelf again lightly in pencil. You can re-plaster these small holes later. Then using the brass colored cabinet screws with built in washers, screw the shelf to the wall. Use some 3"-3 1/2" screws and I think two, up under the top shelf would be enough. If you wanted to you could use regular screws and set them in and then fill them with wood plugs. The plugs could be sanded flush but you can also buy some premade plugs you could tap in. Search for this online - These are also carried at Lowes and Home Depot. "3-3 1/2" in Round Washer-Head Coated Self-Tapping Star-Drive Interior/Exterior Wood Screw". Note when you screw in these screws use a power drill if you have one. You will want to pre-rill the portion that goes through the wood shelf. The drilling hole through the shelf should be slightly smaller than the screw. Went screwing in your screws following this technique. Screw your screw in about 1/2 way then back the screw out and screw the screw in again, this will prevent the head from stripping. Also screw your screw straight on and apply a lot of pressure so the screw head doesn't strip. Just before your screw is in all the way stop and slowly screw in the balance of the screw so you don't crush your wood with the screw head. You will need an electric drill, a stud finder, round washer head screws. Read the directions of how to use the stud finder and you will want to get a good one that works well. You might also investigate and see if their are other types of shelf brackets that engage from the back of the shell. You could also paint the screws suggested above a compatible color. Also be very careful of the wire coming from the electric outlet when drilling and screwing. One of the studs is probably on either side of this outlet and the other one 16" to the left of this. In fact if you do not know where the wire is you should be very careful of doing any drilling or screwing in this area....See Moreloobab
