Ammonia type refrigerator
Does anyone out there have any info on diagnosing and repairing an RV, Ammonia type refrigerator? I have one that obviously has a small leak, (it stopped cooling and you can smell ammonia), and would like to see if I can repair it and recharge it. Maybe some links or something? Ammonia is quite corrosive, [...]
Miele versus Dacor Ovens
I told my wife that she could have a “gourmet kitchen”. But she keeps asking me these questions regarding kitchen appliances. No only don’t I know the answers and I don’t really care. I just want to go back to reading my books and listening to my music. If one of you IS knowledgeable in [...]
Are there any NON-Side-by Refers with Water in Door?
I want water and Ice in my door, which typically means a side-by-side. My Wife wants a Freezer below for space and efficiency. Is there such a thing as a Freezer below with water in the Door?We bought a GE Profile over/under with the freezer on top (not inexpensive) about 6 years ago with ice [...]

Isomac Tea Killed My Refrigerator
This could all be coincidence, so I am looking to see if anyone else had a similar experience or it is more likely coincidence. My Tea and Maytag side-by-side refrigerator are on the same circuit (just did some checking). Voltage with the refrigerator on is 120.2 V, 117.4 V with Tea boiler heater on and [...]
Please Explain “FAKE” Professional Ranges
In another post a writer said they were getting a 30′ Heartland cooktop. It has four burners with a max output of only 15,500 BTU. And it looks like real professional model. It costs an amazing $1550. I fully understand why someone would want a professional range with BTU output of 30 – 50,000 BTU. [...]
Reducing defrost time
With California electricity rates rising, I’d like to cut back. I know that frost-free refrigerators and freezers use extra energy to both run the defrost heater and re-cool afterwards. We live in a part of the state has very low humidity most of the year and is temperate. Is there a way to reduce the [...]
Batteries in the fridge?
I thought low temperature killed batteries. Isn´t that what happens to cars? Why would I want to store my flashlight batteries in the fridge? The idea here is to slow the natural chemical reactions taking place in the batteries even when not in use. Furthermore you do not freeze them, you refrigerate them (4 degrees [...]
GE Monogram side by side versus bottom freezer?
Does anyone have an opinion about a side by side versus a top/bottom GE Monogram freezer? Our kitchen will only take 36″. Years ago we had a side by side and over a period of time I grew to dislike it. The freezer was too narrow. We also can only have a 36 inch. Now [...]
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
I have a new stainless steel GE refrigerator. I find myself cleaning the outside all the time- family keeps putting fingerprints. Anyone have some suggestions on how to clean this or address this? Some things in life we just have to get used to. Put a box of gloves by the side of the refrigerator. [...]
Sub-zero refrigerator strangeness
Am building a house and had previously settled on a subzero refrigerator. We’re getting a 36″ over/under fridge/freezer. We sorta liked the subzero 650 but it has this wierd cage thing in the bottom of the freezer rather than a solid drawer bottom. Looks like lots of cleanup to me. So we looked at the [...]
Looking for a Deep Freezer
There are only two of us but I still manage to fill up my 21 cubic foot freezer and the freezer on my 25 cubic foot side-by-side refrigerator. I make my dogs’ food, so I always have a bunch of chicken in the freezer. I got 150 pounds of chicken leg quarters recently when they [...]
