Refrigerator noise

The true ultimate refrigerator in the WORLD is Sub Zero.

According to Consumer Reports, SubZero has the most dismal reliability record of nearly any refrigerator.

Here in LaLa land, SubZero is quite popular as a status symbol, and reports of bad experiences are plentiful.

We have yet to find a KitchenAid or Jenn Air french door fridge that does not have a water dispenser. We do not want ice or water dispensers, since these are the most common items to fail.

Well good luck with your choice Tvad. I'm sure it will suit.

I've found Consumer Reports, by and large, not to be tthe last word on if an item is a quality made one however. here, I used the years of exp the companies I worked for had, and that of my own to determine at least one thing... if it is built and is as important as are ice boxes, good service is so important to have about, and those who build their own do fare better as a rule.

For the OP... that $20 RF remote should be a consideration to attenuate noise during playback. Either that or learning to live with higher volume levels that will drown out the fridge..

How does the RF remote work? I'm assuming I plug it into a power outlet and plug the fridge power cord into it. And then I can turn on/off the fridge with a remote?
I better not forget to turn it back on :-)

Could you put an electronic timer on the fridge's AC circuit? Then you wouldn't have to remember to turn the power back on...

How would you do that?
