Who would buy a refrigerator without an ice maker? Someone doesn't want to give up a whole bunch of room in the freezer for ice cubes

Kalamityk · Answer

Someone who does not want the hassle of replacing expensive filters, dealing with water leaks, ice jams, repairs and replacements of an ice maker. Been there...done that...many times. I agree that the extra space is much more essential! But to each their own.

I would. I hate the ice makers

Answer

I was initially going to buy a $3,000 frig for my new home. For personal reasons, I've decided to go bear bones and use the money for a greater good; I use ice so infrequently, I can actually make my ice with cube trays. You'd be amazed how many people do not need ice makers. In a few short years, I may donate this frig to charity then buy one with more unnecessary, yet convenient features!

Someone who doesn't want to endure a floor, wall, basement ceiling rehab after the tiny plastic hose to the ice maker springs a slow leak. Happened to my brother. He and his wife and baby spent a month in a hotel while his kitchen and basement was torn apart and repaired. I will never have a fridge with an ice maker.

Don't bother with that. Just pick a fridge that already has an ice maker. They come pre-made from the factory. Most fridges have ice makers. Personally, I hate the look. I have silicon ice cube trays and I have a very fancy water filter at my kitchen sink. I don't like chilled water so I don't need my freezer to take up a bunch of space with pre-fabricated tacky plastic shelf bucket. I don't like the look of a fridge with a fast-food style ice dispenser. Tacky!! and Ugly!! Plus, it's a pain to keep sanitary.

I am replacing the small fridge in my apartment and am not allowed to run a water line behind the cabinets. That is why!

No ice maker because it takes up too much space. I prefer trays ;)

Looking to buy the Whirlpool WRS315SNHM. My opening width is 36 1/2" with wall on right and lower counter on left. The Whirlpool measures 35 7/8" with doors closed but how wide will it be with doors open? The left side with counter will be no problem cuz the fridge will extend well beyond the edge of counter but there's a wall on right side which I'm afraid the door may hit when open? Any thoughts?
