Our dishwasher has been on the fritz, so we decided to buy some new appliances (by fritz, I mean it gets stuck on dry and melts plastic things). Sunday we bought a new Frididaire side-by-side counter depth refrigerator and a new dishwasher. We'd like to replace all our appliances, so we thought we'd get a start on it now.
The appliances were delivered Tuesday and were very pretty. After raising one of our cabinets up an inch so the fridge would fit (oops), they looked lovely and worked great...until Thursday. I was filling up my cup of water and noticed that the bottom of the fridge was leaking. I stuck a towel under it and waited til Nik got home to fix it. We had moved it so much raising the cabinet that I thought something just came unplugged.
Nik couldn't find anything, but the water didn't work when I tried to fill my cup again. Unplugged it, plugged it back in, and the display just kept beeping and flashing, but it was not cooling. We repeated this a few times before giving up and just unplugging it for the night.
This morning I called someone to come fix it, but he wasn't able to make it out today. So then I called a very nice guy at Lowe's who's sending someone out tomorrow to look at it. Who knows if it's fixable. They don't have any more in stock so they'd have to get us one from another store. Nik and I are secretly hoping they have to upgrade us to the next model that has stainless steel on the sides too, but doubt we'll be that lucky.
Hopefully we can get it fixed soon. All the ice is melting and keeps dripping on our nice laminate floor that I've tried hard all day to keep dry. In addition, we'd like to have some cold food. Is that too much to ask from a 3 day-old fridge??
It's very pretty though.
p.s. the good news is that after we bought it, it went on sale, so we'll get $200 or so back from Lowe's this weekend.
