The Hotpoint CTX21DA refrigerator that came with the house began making very loud my-compressor-is-failing noises. I pulled it away from the wall, vacuumed the coils and tried to make the compressor as comfortable as possible, but it was moribund.

I had two choices: Buy the new fancy refrigerator and protect it during construction, or--thanks to Tanya for the suggestion--buy a modest refrigerator that can serve in the garage once the remodeling is done. I took her suggestion and bought a nice white General Electric model from Albert Lee on October 16. This matches brand and color with the range and microwave.
With tax and delivery, the new refrigerator was $603. They delivered it October 20.

The new unit is a GE GTS16DTHWW, serial number SF834982. The door swing can be reversed. The Hotpoint was 20.6 cu. ft., 6.3 of which was freezer. The new one is 15.5 cu. ft., 4.01 in the freezer.
