They can’t make refrigerators like your old GE because of Federal Energy Star regulations and similar regulations in the EU.

Modern Refrigerators need a major repair every 10 years(usually makes more sense to buy a new one) or so if you get a good one less if you get a lemon.

I've wondered if that's the reason they quit selling their Refreshment Center "Door in Door" option, where instead of opening the entire door, you open a small door on the door that folds down to form a handy shelf to set a glass and pour.

I thought they might not have sold enough to keep the option or maybe it made it harder for them to meet some new efficiency standard.

However, when they and LG (and Samsung?) quit selling it, they introduced a new, much larger door in door.

Unfortunately, it's a different design and of no interest to me. I want the small fold down shelf style door in door. I love that thing and use it constantly.

Oh well...I guess I'll just keep mine and keep it going.
