I hope this an "allowed" post. If not let me know, and I'll or an admin can delete it. I am looking to replace my 23 year old Kenmore 25 cf SXS with a 2.5 year old Frigidaire FGHB2868TF4. For no other reason than I no longer like the SXS configuration. I'm losing a foot or so of freezer space, but I can deal with that. Why used? Two reasons. 1. Pre-owned/road tested. Any "infant mortality" failures have been (hopefully) worked out by this time. 2. Price. About 1/2 to 1/3 the price of a new one. The seller is a private sale 50 miles away. They say "it works great, the only reason we replaced it is because of a full kitchen remodel." I presume they are NOT using it now. So when I call and schedule a time to have a look-see. Do I have them plug it in ahead of time and cool it down, or is there something(s) I should look for, listen to etc before it's "cooled down". If I purchase it, I expect to transport it upright. Any advice welcome. Thank you.
