• GE Fridge/Freezer
• Model TFX24RMA
• 23.6 ft/cu
• Mfd. 06/91
• uses 1,555 KWH/yr
• newer equiv models use 1/3 the energy

General rule of thumb: if the fridge is more than 10 years old, it costs money not to replace it.

• Dimensions: 67.75 H x 36 W x 29+ D.

  thoughts

• built-in water cooler and ice maker is nice, but not nice when it breaks. A standalone water cooler / heater combo is far more reliable, easy to repair/replace, and cheaper.
