Ice box

October 21st, 2008 at 05:05 pm

Just wanted to get your attention. I wonder how many of you remember when a refrigerator was called an "ice box"?

No, I never had one. I am not quite that old. However, we did decide to go to Sears last night and order a new refrigerator. The ice maker is leaking and my husband cannot get it to quit. I know I could call a repair man, but the frig is over 12 years old, so it is time for a new one. I hate having to take even more money out of my emergency fund this month, but it cannot be helped.
I was surprised that this refigerator was no more expensive than the one we bought 12 years ago, about $1000.

Also, this one has the ice and water on the door, my old one did not. (I really did not want this feature but without it, the frig cost $2200) How do they figure that??

    If you are an ice freak (like I am), you'll LOVE ice in the door!

    I have an antique icebox in my dining room. It is used as a decorative item only.

    I'm with you. When I bought the new refrigerator for the ID house in 2006, I did not want ice-maker/water unit on the door because it's just one more thing to clean and have to repair. The ones w/o it on the door were more expensive... unbelievable. The ones on the door also need expensive filters.

    I'm 30 and I call the fridge the ice box. I wonder if it is a Southern thing? I'm in Texas.

    I thought you just bought or repaired something to do with ice not long ago. I think the old iceboxes are neat. My cousin has one she refurbished - all oak. It is beautiful.

    Yes, I did have my stand alone ice maker repair, but it still never worked, so I bought a small refrigerator for the garage.
