We have a Kenmore fridge we love, made by Daewoo. It's functional and extremely reliable. Far better than the Samsung we had at our last place.

But we can't get replacement bins for it, and the bins inevitably crack over time. I don't particularly blame Kenmore or Daewoo for that, though I'm sure there are ways the bins could have been made more durable.

It feels as if the only way to fix this is to get a whole new fridge! But we don't want to.

Hello, The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for portions of northwest Washington, including all of King County, that will be in effect Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and heavy snow levels/snowmelt runoff may be possible, resulting in the flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Residents of flood-prone areas, or who transit these areas, should monitor forecasts, prepare for further Flood Warnings, and prepare to take action should flooding develop.

Thank you, Kevin Lowery
