So for the last 30 years or so, I have had ice/water in the door of my fridges - never had an issue. Then I redid my kitchen 2 years ago and put down cork flooring and wouldn't you know it the valve at the back of the fridge that feeds the water leaked and because the fridge was built in, it went unnoticed and the water was able to seep under the flooring along the wall. and buckle the flooring in front of the fridge before it got noticed. We left the floor for a few months to see if it would go back properly but there are a couple boards that did not so we are having repaired. AT the time we did the kitchen we didn't replace the fridge and stove (Kenmore Elites) because of the age but now with them being that much closer to the age fridges (appliances in general) seem to break down, I am thinking we should replace when we get the flooring fix. Would you just wait or do you agree with me - do it now? I have been looking at not getting water/Ice this time and looking at the Frigidaire Professional - although I also like the Fisher/Paykal - both French door and both 36 inches. Anyone have either? Opinions? I know I don't want side by side but I am not oppose to either all fridge or 2 door with bottom freezer but I cannot find either in a 36 inch and the cupboards are build for a 36 inch fridge The wall the fridge is built in on I had made extra deep so I can use either a counter depth or a regular depth fridge with the same look; just will have extra space behind it that wont be seen. If anyone has an opinion on another choice of fridge please feel free to share. I have a miele dishwasher but cannot justify their price range for my fridge.

I'm also thinking of going with the Frigidaire Professional Slide - in Gas Range. I love that it does not have all the digital crap on it and is pretty reasonably priced. My first choice had been the double oven in the GE Cafe or Profile (gas slide-in again) but I'm thinking the non-digital is worth not getting the double oven (only two of us- normal cooking) Any other not digital gas ranges you would recommend without spending 5 - 6000$?

Also - I am not an extended warranty person but I have heard so many horror stories lately - I can see not needing on the Gas Range but what about a fridge - is it worth it today with all the issues there seem to be with all brands?
