Yeah, that refrigerator was giving you all the signs, I'm tired, let
me retire. We replace our refrigerators when we get any sign it might
go, once we were in a tough spot because ours died. The store actually
gave us a loaner.

Also, try finding a side by side without water and ice in the door.
Next to no options so it has to be ordered. We can't just walk into
an appliance store and arrange delivery from stock.
