    Was that the only refrigerator store close to you, so even if there were other choices that fit manufactured you wouldn’t have been able to lay your hands on one?

      There was Home Depot, Best Buy, and Lowes. I looked at their in-stock offerings online and only one of them had something that would work. I tried out a floor model, it seemed fine. I couldn’t spend too much time on the decision because I was playing host and didn’t want my house guest to worry about her food spoiling. (She has dietary restrictions and enough food anxiety as it is.)

        Well sure, if you’re in a time crunch that makes sense. Additionally, you did attempt to shop elsewhere, but in your case it was such a specialized opening you only had one choice from all the retailers available to you. I imagine, had there been multiple to choose from, you would have examined the choices more closely, right?

          Probably, yeah. Tbh, it was not wanting an ice maker that was the biggest hang-up. We didn’t have a water line to the old refrigerator and I was tired of visitors trying to use the non-functional door ice maker on the old model.
