Hi all. Last night the freezer side of our side-by side died. Tomorrow will look for a new one.  Would appreciate suggestions for where to purchase, and what one you got recently that you love - or hate!  I remember a thread where people complained of loudness not sure the brand but I don't want noisy either. Don't need the ice-maker but not sure if you can find them without. I would like another side-by-side, DH would prefer anything but but my choice is less costly.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

Did you check out the models sold by QVC?  There are quite a few.  The least expensive side-by-side is a Samsung 25 cu. ft.

Love our Samsung.  Previously, we had a GE Profile and it was just terrible.  Half a dozen service calls under warranty but GE would not replace it.  Finally had a enough of half frozen food being tossed and soured items.  That Samsung rocks!  Think I might have the same one as @Liverbird1. HTH

 

must have something to do with beauty.  Where else do you store your HA serum and cooling toners? Smiley Happy

Its a rare thing to find a side by side w/o an ice maker or water dispenser. We went to Home Depot and ordered a Whirlpool black ice side by side. This model.

 

Comes in black ice, white ice and stainless steel with stainless steel handles and LED lighting inside. The black ice is smooth on the front and 'orange peel' texture on the sides and top of the refrigerator. We have owned it for about 2 weeks and love it. It keeps the frozen food frozen and the fridge stuff cold.

Re: New fridge help needed

We have the Samsung also. French doors with the middle drawer and the freezer on the bottom. We love it. You can always just not hook up the ice maker since it's hard to find a fridge without one. My guess only cheap junky models may have no ice maker.
