About the ARC7593 you were getting
Review of Whirlpool ARC7612 by

Advantages: Good size
Disadvantages: Doesn't work
About the ARC7593, which you were recommended as a replacement - we were given one as a replacement after a previous fridge-freezer collapsed, and it has been trouble ever since.
It hasn't worked properly since we got it in June (it is now October).
After much discussion with refrigeration engineers (not from Whirlpool) the problem seems to be in the electronic module that controls most functions, from the lightswitch to the defrost cycle. When ... ...which melts the plastic fan that is supposed to send cold air to the fridge. It makes a loud rattling noise.After 4 days, the fridge packs up. A temporary cure is to defrost very thoroughly - a day or more, so it isn't possible to keep food. We've been promised a replacement, for two months. If you're getting one, good luck to you! ...

Review of NEFF K3990 by

Advantages: Big, looks good and works well
Disadvantages: Big and pricey
Neff K3990 American Style Fridge Freezer
One of my abiding memories of watching American TV in the seventies and eighties was when the Mom (sic) would go into the kitchen and open this gi-normous fridge, packed to gills with all manner of loveliness. In those far off days fridges of that scale were nought but a dream for us under privileged limeys and we could merely stare in wonder and accept that only a country that could put a man on the moon ... ...told that Siemens, Bosch and Neff appliances are all made by the same people in the same factories so any of those would be suitable. I've no way of verifying this although having replaced a Bosch dishwasher with a Neff one I can confirm that they are almost identical and share most visible parts.
With this advice we settled on the Neff K3990, as suggested by our kitchen supplier in the first place. They also price matched the best price I could ...

Review of Hotpoint FF 187 E by
bcbutterworth
Advantages: Excellent value for money, with good looks, and extra features
Disadvantages: Two breakdowns in 12 months, lots of mess, and loss of food!!!
I bought the Hotpoint 187EG fridge freezer when we moved house in September 08, and initially was thrilled with both the looks, capacity, and the extra features like the suspended wine rack, the audible door alarm, and the mess free ice cube storage. It appeared to do everything I had wanted and more besides. However when it was nine months old, we had to call out the engineer because we had a rise in temperature, and neither the fridge nor freezer ... ...motor) being replaced. We went merrily on our way again, but one day before the warranty expired, the same thing happened again. Again we called out the engineer, who this time condemned the fridge freezer, and advised us to visit the supplying store of Comet to organise a replacement. This is how I came to be reading these reviews, as I wondered if other people had had the same experiences. I needed to know before ordering a replacement, whether ...
