I have determined that there is an inherent design flaw in French door refrigerators. It seems like everyone I talk to has the same problem we do, the condenser drain gets clogged up and water starts leaking into the pan in the freezer section, eventually filling up, freezing over and then water leaks out onto the floor.
Instead of calling a repair guy out every year or two to fix it (because trying to get into the freezer to DIY which SHOULD be easy isn't in my freezer) and paying stupid money, I figure we should look at upgrades. What we really want is a professional/commercial style side-by-side, since we tend to utilize all the space we can get as a family of seven. Something like this:
These are actually two separate units, but they look nice together. The single units are all-refrigerator units so those obviously won't work. The problem is the space in our kitchen is 51" wide, and those two units are 32" each. I was wondering if anyone knows of "smaller" commercial-style fridge/freezer combos like this that might fit without having to take out cabinets in my kitchen. My google-fu isn't working today for this.
