Darn, I was reading your post and was going to warn you not to buy Fridgidare / Kitchen Aid or any other brand names they make. Sorry to burst your bubble but they suck. I had all Kitchen Aid appliances put in my house when it was built 4 years ago and I've had to repair 3 of the appliances already.
Microwave - Fan started rubbing inside. Had to take apart and re-position.
Dishwasher - Heating element exploded. Had to replace heating element and control board (replacement was a new design). Fortunately, the parts were sent to me for free since it was still under warranty. I was impressed with the customer service line. Lady was real nice and apologized for my problems. Parts were covered, but labor was not since it was in year two so I replaced the parts myself.
Refridgerator - last week the water/ice dispenser went out in a blaze popping my circuit breaker. Problem, another poor design. The wires at the bottom of the door make a real tight bend and over time with the opening and closing of the door they break. I had two of 6 wires break. I had to splice/solder and I got it working again.
For the money spent (about 6 grand) the appliances should be good for at least 10-15 years in my opinion. Next time I'm buying Sub Zero (thanks for the post Mike!) and Dacor.
Here's a website you might find handy:

Hope you got an extended warranty, I didn't because I don't believe in that crap typically and I expect better quality out of an american company that has been around so long. Guess it's not just the car mfgs that are cutting corners and doing poor designs.

At least you got cold beer again! :headbang:
