    What others have said about the breaker switch. But my cousin who is a repair tech for home appliances and has his certificate for refrigerators has told us one of the worst things to do with a residential fridge is turn it off and on regularly.

    Like @JKellerJr, we will never go back to absorption type refrigerator. You just have to make sure you get a good solution to the doors/drawer opening. The Fridge Fixer for the Samsung is what we have and it's one of those inventions I wish I had the patent for.

    They can and did in our Solitude 310GK-R. Nice dent in the door to show for it. Didn't have that problem in our Solitude 373FB-R for some reason. Probably not enough ice cream in the freezer.

    Oh, do they! (We're talking about the Samsug residential fridges, here.) The latch they put on the doors from the factory is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine (though I suppose it would keep the fish out). Here's the sure-fire cure (only fits specific fridges):

    It's rock-solid and there's no way the doors nor the freezer drawer will open while traveling now. The whole unit tipping over is another story and there are several threads on that...
