This ma ordered a new fridge for $1000 from Lowe’s. When it was delivered, the delivery men accidentally dented the right stainless steel panel on the door. The fridge still works great, but there are three unsightly dents. He reached out to Lowe’s and they took $500 off of... the total price, so he ended up getting it for only $500. Would you have taken that deal and saved $500 or would you have taken the fridge back and had the give you a new one that was not damaged?show more

@RyanceyReturns I’d put a picture of my kids over it

@_meme_bots @RyanceyReturns I think a calendar with magnets would be a viable option too, very inconspicuous.

@RyanceyReturns I have so much stuff on the fridge like pictures of the kids, their art work, dates for activities, you would barely be able to tell it’s stainless steel 😂.

You ended up with 50% off. And the dents can easily be covered up. I’d be happy with this outcome.

I see the value in getting a thousand dollar appliance for half. But in the long run you will always have to keep it covered up.

Looks like a great location for a whiteboard shopping list or magnet

@mcucolo57 I would have not even accepted the fridge. You have to see these three dent everytime you go to the fridge. That would be on my mind every time. Mindset > $500 - easy decision.

@mcucolo57 Some people don’t mind though but I do see where it can be irritating like a paint chip on a new car.

Buy a few of these

Why do they need to replace the fridge? The door comes off. Replace the door.

@MAGA_X_Times If you can deal with or cover up the dents, it’s a great deal, take it. Everything is so expensive these days.

@caldarone_al @MAGA_X_Times It really is a good deal, half off is hard to come by. Almost makes everyone wish the deliver drivers messed up like this

@thewriterme How much is a new door?

@thewriterme I’m sure if he messaged Frigidaire they would just send him one for free.

@robertf71020208 @thewriterme As someone who sold appliances, no they won’t 😂 They didn’t give the retailer a dented door, so they’ll direct you to the retailer

@robertf71020208 @thewriterme I have friends that work at Lowe’s and they tell customers to do this

I've got so much crap hanging from magnets on my fridge that I can't see the door so I would save $500

Many people are saying the same thing especially those with young children

Our refrigerator is (and always been) completely covered in pictures of kids and/or grandkids. Those dents would disappear instantly.

@robertdunlap947 New dents won’t bother you now

@robertdunlap947 Especially if you have children, they always tend to add more when you least expect it.

Nah, I don't want to stare at those dents for the next 5 years. Send me a new fridge.

Vinyl wrap

Every thing in life is relative to your situation… financial, social or emotional .. let me mind my business

$500 off for a few d£nts? I’m keeping that fridge and minding my business 😄 Function over aesthetics any day.

When accepting an appliance, the delivery person has to show that it is in good order. It clearly isn't. There are dents that can be pulled out easily and then there are caverns like the ones in the post. It should never have been accepted in that condition. Magnets don't stick to the front of stainless steel.

Stainless steel is hard to pull dents from. I think he would just need a new panel altogether which isn’t too hard to do.

@KeoweeSCgal @grok what is the typical cost to replace an entire stainless steel panel on a refrigerator door?

For a standard consumer stainless steel fridge door panel (like a typical $1k Lowe’s model), the part alone runs $150–$500. Add $100–$250 labor for install—total usually $300–$750 depending on brand/size. High-end built-ins cost more ($800+). The $500 discount in that video was probably the smarter move unless the dents really bug you.

find a big MAGA magnate to cover the dents!

@NobodymrRobert Just put a fridge magnet over it… done deal!

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Take the deal. Put a couple of magnets over the dents.

About 6 years ago I went to the dealership and bought my wife a new car. That was on a Friday We were to come back on Monday and pick it up. Monday we showed up to pick up the vehicle and someone had either thrown rocks or spun out in the driveway and shot rocks at the car putting dents in the door. The dealership said no problem give us 3 days and we'll fix it up. I said yes problem I bought a brand new vehicle I did not buy a repaired vehicle or a used vehicle or a damaged vehicle. Order me a new car.

This exact thing happened to us with a Costco fridge but they only offered $200. We declined & made them replace it. What a cluster. Took weeks. When I finally wrote a review on the Costco site they took it down b/c they claimed it wasn't their fault, but the delivery company's fault. But it was Costco I had to deal with, and it was Costco that gave me all the hassles.

In all honesty it was their fault but they are liable until you sign that paper saying you got it in good shape and you are happy with it

I had an experience buying a thing from Costco, posted a review after they asked me to post a review, then they took it down b/c they didn't like what I had to say.

@ValentinaElites I ordered one of those Frigidaire stainless steel fridges and they scratched the stainless steel on the right side door with the Dolly and they came back out with a stainless steel cover replaced it took them like a half hour I’m sure he can do the same

Do something like this to it ❤️❤️❤️

New fridge, great discount, hide the dents...all good deal. No reason to be anal about the dents, can be fixed or hidden. Sht happens but can be a positive

Fixed.

I would insist they replace either the fridge or that door. No amount of money could settle me down every time I saw those gouges.

I'd take the discount, and cover the dents with fridge magnets 🤷‍♀️

Take the $500 off and put a couple of refrigerator magnets over the dings. Problem solved.

I’d cover it with something like a calendar, grocery list, or pictures. Some people prioritize aesthetics, while I prioritize functionality. I wouldn’t have been happy buying it if I had plans to rent or sell the house. I’ll never buy anything too nice for a rental beyond a furnace and water heater because most people will trash everything else.

Just change the fucking door

I’ll take at deal.

Have a kid, get them to kindergarten, take the first ugly ass noodle art they make and slap that shit up over those dents with an 'M' shaped magnet! Money well saved!

@PatriotDepotHP Pop a couple of fridge magnets on and done.

@RyanceyReturns I would have replied, $800 back or swap it.

Kept it for $500 and done a fridge wrap.

That’s a cool idea I never knew they made wraps for them too
