Suggestions for under counter single drawer fridge

last year

Following up on my prior post, if I can't get my summit fridge to work properly and I have to look into replacement......what do folks suggest? I need a single drawer in this dormer conversion.

I went for a single drawer as I don't have standard or ADA counter height. We removed the windowsill and fitted/slid the granite into the windowsil area so that kind of defined the height of the coffee bar. Summit was the only single drawer fridge I could find and the double stakes were all at standard or ADA counter height.

AJ Madison has a number of choices besides Summit.

Nope, AJ Madison has only one single-drawer model, the Fisher & Paykel RB36S25MKIWN1 which is 33" wide.

Unfortunate. I think I looked at that. Very few single drawers out there and standard bar fridge is too high as o feel limited to the window height

Replace with another 30" Summit single-drawer? Maybe you just got a bad one. Maybe push for a warranty replacement.

Actually it has already been replaced once under warranty and this second unit is freezing up as well

The Summit SPHC30 User Manual includes the following:

"For built-in installation, it is necessary to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. At the same time replace the current four feet by four NSF recognized 6 inches height legs (The legs are not provided and can be purchased from our service center.)...Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way."
1. Did you replace the feet with the legs as directed?
2. It would be interesting to remove the appliance from the cabinet and set it up freestanding in a well-vented area to see whether the cabinet/environment is leading to the performance problems.
3. If you wanted to measure the inside temperature over time, you could use a temperature data tracker (example)...with the door closed, of course.

I had a professional install so I am not sure if they replaced the legs. This is a SDR30 unit. I am looking at the installation instructions now and it says nothing about replacing the legs. It does give the gap of 1/4 in all around and 2 in at the back with free air vent. I meet/exceed these gap tolerances. I wonder if replacing the feet on this unit would help?
