I was at Home cheapo getting some things and wandered over to the appliances section to look at refrigerators. I am going to upgrade the kitchen soon and am getting a feel for whats out there and costs. I noticed on several of the major brands..i.e Samsung, LG, GE etc that one of the doors on the french door models would be slightly higher than the other resulting in a noticeable defect. I asked the associate what was the reason for that and he explained that the units will get leveled when they are installed and the doors will align. I found this explanation iffy at best. I mean can a large stainless steel appliance be so flimsy that the doors miss align just from being out of level a little? Where talking an appliance that costs upwards of 2 grand from a major manufacturer. What do you think...BS or legit?

Legit, generally speaking.

Yes.. those French door needs to be adjusted. Even on a $3000+ refrigerator. Think about it. Do you expect an appliance with multiples door hinges to have exact fit?

From a sales presentation standpoint, YES.

Unfortunately, the people who set up, put together the fridge at your local HD or Lowes store knows jack about putting it together. You go to a real appliance store, you get a different presentation.

I was watching a home improvement show in which the owners had bought a very high end refrigerator. Before it was installed, they noticed the door was uneven, so they had a service call pending. However, when they slid the fridge into place and leveled it, the door was fine.

I think the salesperson was probably giving you the straight scoop.
