Custom Vinyl Block for Google Nest Hello Installation
Переглядів 6364 роки тому
While installing new siding on my front porch and placing my Google Nest Hello Doorbell, there were not many options for a solution that would look good with the siding I was installing. All of the vinyl siding blocks were either too big or just not the right shape so I made one. Hope this helps some others.

      Just two delivery people. Fortunately, my garage door into my home leads right into the area it needed to be. They used a dolly to bring it up about 4 steps. Once inside, it was easily moved using its wheels. The newer model has a much nicer interior.

    As much as I like the Ice and water dispenser you made a wise decision going without one at the door. I just bought this same fridge although mine was manufactured in 2011 but aside from the digital display and handles these fridges are the same underneath. The ice dispenser door was damaged on mine and I was able to fix it. The previous owner was remodeling and I just can't imagine the kind of fridge they got after they sold this one....I paid nowhere near the money you did but if I could've I would've .

      I'm not sure what you are referring to. Everything to make the fridge run and visually appear as advertised was provided. It's pretty much a freestanding fridge with cabinets and trim installed around it. It does not even mount to anything.

    I always put my ice into a ziplock bag to let it freeze, then I use a large spoon to break up the ice cubes into individual cubes and then put them in my ice machine for dispensing. I have never had a problem with this.

    Thanks for the review. We are getting ready to replace our 20 yr old 48" built in Kitchenaid...it finally bit the dust! I am confused by the manual defrost....which is what is specified on this fridge. Can you elaborate on that? I also wish this fridge had a door alarm...there are many times when the door didn't close all the way on our old fridge and caused some cooling issues. Our fridge will be located right next to our built in double ovens which are Kitchenaid, so like you, we'd prefer to stay with the same manufacturer. Thanks again for the informative review!!

    • @imperfectperfectionist1911
      @imperfectperfectionist1911 2 роки тому

      There are no labeled buttons for manual defrost so i'm really not sure. I've been using the fridge for about 5 months and never performed a manual defrost or any other type of maintenance. This fridge does have a door alarm although I tried to purposefully use it but gave up. The doors are pulled shut from a spring so if the doors are less than 90 degrees open, they shut. Even if I open it a few inches, the spring will pull it completely shut so you probably won't have a problem with that. Kitchenaid was running a rebate special, the more appliances you bought, the more rebate you will get. I used some of that money to buy a 3yr extended warranty for some of the appliances i bought; fridge oven and beverage fridge. (The three most expensive items) hope this helps. PS: do a few internet searches for Kitchenaid rebates. When i got it, it wasn't readily/easily available on their website.
