Lala81 Hypersonic October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 For 6-door fridge i.e. Mit and Hitachi, the upper two doors lead to a large single compartment. Also it gives user flexibility in configuring the compartment for odd size storage. The largest 6-door is about 620-640 liters of space.Haha first I need more kitchen space. Maybe all Panasonic models have that sticker inside? Anyway I am looking at a bottom freezer fridge. Very uncommon nowadays. I was looking for one also when I bought my fridge in 2013. Think don't have for the size I wanted. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrecord Supersonic October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 Yours bought in 2011 then spoilt in 2016... Already outlived his lala's fridge leh. Actually @lala81 is what fridge and for how long leh? Tot he said LG, then got Mit also... dun tell me got 2 fridges? Mine 5 yr only got problem. Got another one at my old place now 17 yr liao, still going strong... I also use lg. Close to 15 years. But serviced once around the 7th year. That time repair man top up gas. Don't why can last another 7 years plus, since suspect a leak for gas in the first place. Got so strange? The life after repair is longer than the life before repair? Don't tell me my LG also 大难不死，必有后福 ？ There's a hole at the bottom for drainage, and a tray behind the fridge that collects the water. It's evaporated off by the heat emanating from the compressor. When you're using the heater normally, that's how the water is evaporated off. So you haven't change anything by cycling the power on and off. The cool thing about cycling the power is that you save energy as well, when it's off. Got hole meh? i didn't notice when i took off the panel to defrost leh... saw water collecting at the bottom and I still used towel to soak and wiped it dry... But I like the bit about saving electricity by cutting it off at intervals... sounds like a good idea to do so at night when everyone is sleeping...

Normally, when the heater turns on and melt the ice, where the water goes ? It goes down and need to come out. If the water collects at the bottom, then it'll re-evaporate again and re-coat the coil as ice. Yes, 2~4am is a good time to turn off the fridge to let the ice melt. Most people would be sleeping and not opening the fridge door at this time, unless they're somehow sleepwalking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually i cannot be 100% sure whether there's any hole. It just didn't strike me to notice it at that time... if only this discussion had taken place 5 yr ago, i would have been much more prepared when I had to take out the panel to defrost.

Tohto Hypersonic October 4, 2017 Share October 4, 2017 Need to get a new fridge for the house. Looking at bottom freezer type and was recommended a Hitachi model. Any comments on Hitachi fridges?

Saabcabrio Clutched October 8, 2017 Share October 8, 2017 My experience - brand new E conked out in about a month. Support after sales service is almost non existent. Finally after a week it got replaced but we threw away lots of wastage. Very frustrating one week. And I am being very mild in my comments. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic October 8, 2017 Share October 8, 2017 Any comments on Electrolux fridges? Don't know about their fridge, but their service centre is at Fusionopolis area, very lei che to bring anything in for repair, must climb here climb there, take lift to 8 or 9 floor. Who in the right mind selected such an inconvenient place for customers to bring their heavy appliances? I will not buy another Electrolux appliance for this reason alone. Karcher service centre is so much better, drive straight park for free and walk 10m to the counter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
