NWR/XP: Rec your fridge!

klovesd

We're closing on our first house tomorrow, and the first thing we're going to buy is a fridge. Since this is a pretty high traffic board I figure I'll get more responses here than other boards. What refrigerator do you have, how much, did you pay for delivery and where did you buy it? Thanks!

My BIL is in appliance repair, and the less computerized your appliances, the better. The things that break down the most are the computerized components. He's already had to replace the circuit board in mine because my defrost cycle stopped working, which made my freezer ice up and my fridge not cool, and it was only 3 years old. My parents, however, have a 25 year old fridge in their garage that works as well as the day they bought it. They just don't make things like they used to.

Same goes for washing machines. The best ones are the basic ones with the agitator in the middle.
