Buying a new refrigerator
I have never had to buy a new refrigerator. This house came with a brand new one, with tags and all. That was almost 10 years ago. These last few days, it has been making a noise on and off. Sort of a rattling noise, but nothing in the fridge is rattling, I checked. It sounds like it is coming from the back. I wanted new one anyway, one with the water/ice dispenser in the door. So I was going to use this opportunity to start shopping around. Then I realized, I don't know what to look for.
White? or stainless steel?
side by side? or the one with the freezer on the bottom?
Will that all depend on the size of the space I have to put it in? ( I measured the noisy one. It is 31 inches wide, 66 inches tall ( or so). I have little room to play with on the sides, maybe some room on the top.)
Is one brand better than another?
Any store I should stay away from? go to first?
Any tips or hints, experiences with this kind of purchase, both good and bad, would really be appreciated and helpful in making this decision.
