What a great deal. Got a picture you could post? I would love to have a new refrigerator but....not yet.

Looks nice but waaay too big for what I'll be buying when I replace
mine. I do agree the ice-maker is a must. I won't go back to filling
ice-cube trays again. Congrats!

I shopped around and it seems hard to find smaller ones these days. What
I like about mine is that everything is clear so you can see everything
on every shelf and the drawers, and there are so many lights. Even the
freezer has two light bulbs, one on each side. I've never had a freezer
with a light inside before.

I'm not sure about lights being necessary. Just another thing to
replace. The light bulb burned out in my fridge a few years ago. I
tried to unscrew it but it's stuck tight. Rather than take a chance
breaking it off in the socket (hence causing more problems) I live
without a light bulb in the refrigerator. I can see inside the
refrigerator at night simply by turning on the overhead kitchen lights.
And I know where I put things. So it's no big deal. I'm pretty sure
people who had ice-boxes didn't have inside bulbs. Ditto the freezer.

I don't have clear refrigerator doors or bins. I *know* what I have
stored in in the fridge. I'm rather methodical that way.

I keep a candle burning in my fridge since I had the same problem you did.
The best part is I can see inside the fridge even during a power outage.

I put little battery operated lights in my garage and laundry room. I find
them helpful as we have to pass through the dark laundry room to get to the
garage door. No need to flip the light off and on now if we are just
passing through. And no need to put the garage light on if we are just
running out for a can of kidney beans or something. They are motion
activated and not all need to be mounted. I would think they would work in
a fridge.

There are battery operated fridge lights, has a switch operated by the
door so it only turns on when the door is opened. But it's easy to
remove a stuck light bulb, first pull the plug on the fridge, then
wear a rubber glove for a better grip. If the glass bulb breaks it's
very easy to unscrew the threaded brass portion by turning ccw with
needlenose pliers. Put a thin film of Vaselene on the brass threads of
the new bulb, same with all outdoor lamps, and not necessary to screw
any bulbs in too tight, just enough that they light.
