REFRIGERATOR SUGGESTIONS
Time to replace the Amana side by side (#ARS9265BB). I have reviewed several threads about replacing the Amana. with Kenmore and GE units. I found a french door Maytag that should fit , and unlike the GE unit, it gets good reviews.. I don’t recall seeing a Maytag in any bus or motorhome.
Any thoughts on a Maytag refrigerator in a bus application?
Any considerations on side by side vs. french door configuration?

We put a Kenmore in a couple of years ago, so far so good. Only issue was that it came with a bare minimum of shevles and stuff. So I had to buy more from the Sears/Kenmore website … which they sent me double of.
Glad to see you posting again. Are you out on work release now?

Hey Colt,
If You search counter depth Refridgerator You will get a lot of info. I ended up getting a Samsung Energy 5 star rated one that has 2 doors and 2 drawers fom Home Depot. It will go into energy saver mode if it is not opened for 24 Hrs. Which is nice for running on batteries.
If You have the Amana with the formica panels that match the inside of Your coach ? You might want to save them off of the old fridge for possible modifications or repairs.Safe travels,

We had a 22 CF French door counter-depth GE refriderator installed last year. Works fine, with no problem.

I don’t think brand matters anymore Colt.
Whirlpool (Whirlpool owns Maytag, Amana, Kitchen Aid, Roper, and some Kenmore’s are built by Whirlpool.) Frigidaire (Frigidaire owns, or rather is owned by Electrolux, and builds some Kenmore’s.) Bosch (Best known for their dishwashers, but has moved into refrigerators and stoves.

We installed a Bosch that had nearly identical dimensions to the Amana in our previous coach and it was the best thing we ever did. The quality of the refrigerator was far better in every respect, and it was so quiet we couldn’t hear it run. I would really doubt if any of the common US manufacturers are making that refrigerator because it was so much better. It wasn’t cheap however.

Colt,
We had a Jenn Air ‘side-by-side’ in our previous coach that bounced down the road for 7.5 yrs. with not one ounce of trouble. When it was time to select a fridge in the new coach, we wanted another Jenn Air.
We haven’t had good luck with the newer Sub Zero units having to replace several at our residence. And, they just ‘sit’ in a climate controlled environment!
Liberty located a new model Jenn Air french-door refrigerator with a drawer type freezer. So far, works like our previous. I noticed that Liberty has been using the same Jenn Air refrigerator since our request in 2014 in the remainder of the ’15’s and the new ’16, ’17 and ’18 models.
Good luck,
Mark
