    favorite fridge layout(or style)

    side-by-side / freezer on top / freezer on bottom We currently have a side-by-side, love the look, but miss the fridge width of our old traditional "freezer on top" fridge.

    We use our washer a lot (about 2 loads a day) and our Queen preformed flawlessly for just under 3 years. Let's say the issue developed around the 2000 wash mark.
