9 year old frig. Man they don't make 'em like they used to!
I'm afraid this one won't meet your conditions because it is white. Racism in fridges exist!

Morning Tracy. Go to Lowes Hardware. Find a beautiful fridge that matches your needs and kick the snot out of the side. Instant scratch and dent discount.

Accurate assessment. The manufacturing process added to quality of components and the move to solid state controls manufactured in Taiwan or such has screwed the consumer when it come to most appliances.


I too had a fridge that lasted 20+ years at one time. Had to replace the door seal once..

My fridges seem to last a good while. I cycle them from the house to the garage though. The one out there is 20 years old at least and it will be going to it's great reward when house #3 is built.
