Fridge died..what do you have and is it tolerable?

dpestun
My 5 year old Whirlpool Sidekick all fridge(no freezer) always bothered me but I'm sure it wasn't as bad as some.  If doing dishes or cooking in the kitchen I would have to leave when the compressor kicked on.  It has a freon leak so we need a new fridge, this time a refrigerator freezer combo.  I'm hoping some of you will be willing to share the brand and model fridge you own and if it bothers you or not.  If you know the mg output that would be helpful also.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as the fridge must stay in the kitchen and is about 25 feet away from me at night, facing the foot of my bed.
Thanks!

I suggest putting it on a timer. Set it to be off during the times you are
like to be near by.

I use a Frigidar old style fridge with a small ice box, I always try to  
seek out this type second hand as it does not bother me, whereas a Zanussi one
I  tried out really bothered me. But I  cant find the model no sorry. it  
is about 10yrs old. Pretty basic no fancy bits. With the ice box I think it  
can help if you turn it off at nights to keep the temp down.  You can get  
gas fridges of course.

Re: Fridge died..what do you have and is it tolerable?

The best have no auto-defrost.  Like Conserv and Sun Frost.
Or the vintage Frigidaires from like the 60's.
(The defrost motors are usually open-frame (aka C-frame) which
don't the confine the field at all.

Of course you want the circuit it's on to have clean power.
Stetzer's near the panel might help with that.

Re: Fridge died..what do you have and is it tolerable?

In reply to this post by PUK
Hi Puk,

How can you tell if a fridge bothers you or not? Can you feel it when you stand near it? I am wondering if my energy efficient fridge is part of the reason I am so tired. However, I don't feel any different next to it than any other place in the house.

Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheryl

sometimes "energy efficient" means electronics that
control motor current.  You don't want that.  See if
a radio buzzes near the fridge or cord...

Hi Cheryl, as per advice below from bill, if the fridge is bad it could be  
allowing ingress from the electronics into your house wiring and giving you
a  dose that way, the fridge I tried out made me feel uneasy throughout my
whole  body likk bill says its got electronics whereas my old fridge has not.
