Bob, our “Cadillac” KitchenAid fridge has been deemed “non-repairable” by the service folks so now we are working through the extended warranty people to get a new one. The service tech who was here yesterday is the same guy who has been here the last three times and is very knowledgeable. He said to make sure we send him the model number of a new fridge so he can tell us if it is a lemon or not.

Morning Russ! That's the good news/bad news scenario I guess. Ours has worked pretty well but as you mentioned, ice is pretty skimpy. That and the doors don't line up. It looks pretty shitty for a 5 thousand dollar refrigerator. Hell, it looks shitty for a 500 dollar refrigerator. I'm going to keep coming up with repairs and hopefully I get a new one too. And yes - we did the extended warranty.

Afternoon toakers. Just left the doc's office. Doing an MRI and EMG next week. He says if he doesn't find what's wrong he's going to tell work I can't do that kind of work anymore

Afternoon Al, Russ, Bob & Larry.
My parents bought a Kenmore in 1980 and we had it for years. My dad kept it later on hooked up in the basement as a beer fridge and catch all to whatever was needed to be kept chilled. Eventually, I inherited it when we rented a house without a fridge. I kept it as our primary fridge and when we moved I decided to take it off the U-Haul myself. Welp it rolled off the ramp, and crashed on the dolly into the yard. All I could do it watch, as it tumbled down the yard like a bad car wreck. In shame I drug it back up the yard on the dolly and decided I'd see if it would still work. Plugged it in on the porch and in a few hours it was nice and cold. Looked like **** with a dented door and scratches but it had a great story so we kept it for another 5 years before it finally gave up the ghost. Sears may not know how in the hell to run a store these days but they made some tough fridges back in the day.

Thanks Mick. The only thing it is missing is KDSS suspension. That is a feature that is somewhat hard to find in the lots. I do appreciate the effort!!
