Reatta Residential Fridge Make/Model#

Those that have 2023/24 model Reatta’s, can you tell me what make/model Residential refrigerator Entegra installed?
Our fridge in our 2019 Insignia, basically same floorplan as Reatta’s, failed and they no longer make this model. So looking to see what Entagra changed to so I can get that same one.

Thanks!!

JMO, but I would measure the refrigerator and purchase an upgrade. Replacing a lower end OEM with another lower end OEM would be asking for the same problem. Refrigerators are standard size.

Look up the specifications on your current refrigerator. There should be a label identifying your current model. With that you should be able to find the dimensions. Then search for a similar sized replacement.

good luck.

I have a 2024 Reatta XL 39T2 and I have a Samsung RF24R7201SR/AA.
It was supposed to come with an LG but they substituted at the last minute due to supply problems. I think they just drop in whatever they can get their hands on. It's a decent fridge, no complaints yet other than it being shipped without one of the door gaskets.

It's almost surely a counter depth unit, 24" deep not counting the door thickness. A friend's '23 Anthem came with an LG. See this photo for model:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/TeG1VNVydgbbvJT4A
It is a Korean brand, but has a properly designed icemaker.

You will also want to get details on the mounting brackets and exactly where they are installed on a specific model. It is unwise to drill blindly into a fridge case, you may hit something critical. I think the upper bracket on my Samsung is glued on. At the bottom, screws go thru the feet into the subfloor.

Consider a Fridge Fixer to secure the doors while driving instead of the typical screw on latches, they work better.
https://www.amazon.com/stores/Fridge...2-D3132B981399

A few things I will be considering when purchasing a replacement:
  • The Korean brands, especially Samsung, seem to have more than their fair share of complaints.
  • I will not consider any unit with a dispenser in the door.
  • I will not consider any unit with the icemaker in the fridge (any 3 door model with a dispenser in the door).
  • The icemaker will be in the freezer compartment where it belongs.
  • The doors will be easily removed and replaced so the unit can be brought into the coach thru the entry door.

My own Samsung has serious design flaws in regard to the icemaker and newer Samsung units with an in door dispenser are still using the same flawed design.

I just had to have the Whirlpool repaired again in my 21. This time the repair was out of my pocket. I talking with the tech, I asked him what the best everyday priced refrigerator was on the market currently. His answer was GE. Many of the foreign made were hard to get parts for. Although even the American brands, the replacement parts come from China. The part replaced in my Whirlpool was "made in China" with Whirlpool's logo.

My garage refrigerator quit last month. I didn't even shop around, just went to Lowe's and purchased a GE. They even make a garage model, nice surprise.

Thanks for all the replies! Great info on the GE brand, and about Ice Makers being in the freezer, not fridge door, etc… great advice… will lean toward the regular fridges with ice maker in the freezer.

GE Appliances

GE appliances are owned by Haier.
Maytag best chance at American owned, made.
Whirlpool, owns Maytag. Some were built in Mexico.
Kitchen aid part of that group. My 96 Fridge at home still going.
So is the Dometic Absorption fridge in my 2008 Nimbus.
Same type fridge in 2004 Tropi-Cal outlasted the RV.

Be sure to get an extended warranty-service contract with a new fridge.

Some models of the GE's are claiming 70-90% US sourced components.

Here's a link to all their counter-depth models.
https://www.geappliances.com/applian...refrigerators/
Most are a bit under 70" tall and 31" deep including handles. Models are available in 35.75" wide (approx 22cuft) which matches the sizing of my current Samsung) and 33" wide (approx 18cuft).

I would consider this one and this one to replace my Samsung RF23HCEDBSR.
