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.

Whirlpool is an excellent brand and Kitchen Aid is involved with this line too. Refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers have a higher level of repair rates according to Consumer Reports.

Justjazz, that looks like a great model and no ice-maker taking up valuable space. Unfortunately it's backordered until the 25th - we need it ASAP.  Wish we had time to browse but stuff is all thawed as we speak.

Ccass thanks, will be looking into your model too.

Whirlpool makes great side-by-side fridges without an ice maker.

I love mine, and there's also two under $1,000 at Home Depot.com that have fantastic reviews.

Wow, our GE Profile French Doors Top over freezer died after 7 years (average length of time for fridges is now between 7-8 yrs)! I was told that all of the appliance stores receive their merchandise from several warehouses on the East Coast. Mine came from PA.

We had to wait a week for ours-- we salvaged most of our fridge and most of the meat-- (chicken) using a cooler inside the freezer packed with ice around the chicken and I used ice baths for the dairy items in the fridge. Anything iffy like soft cheeses got tossed. Most salad dresssings and other processed foods, like ketchup and mustard were okay in the fridge. We had to toss a half of a container of milk. I had to buy 3 bags of ice daily to change out the melted water.

Feline Groovy thanks, was just checking Home Depot but it's too hot to go that long without a freezer.

Justjazz ours is 20 yrs old!  Sure hope the newer ones make it past 7 yrs.

Hmm, wonder if they included my piece o' junk GE Profile?  It did not have any dispensers.

You're welcome, Desi.

When you were on their website, did you check for local store availability, plus how long it would take to deliver one from their warehouse?

You may be able to get one of those two great Whirlpools there much sooner than you expect.  8)
