Does anyone know where I can buy a set of foot pads other than the listed supplier who does not ship internationally.

I've bought two sets of foot pads from the ebay supplier and there were no problems posting to Australia. Last set was purchased in September last year.
However, I did contact the seller direct to see if he would post to Australia (both times), and he was happy to do so. It cost US$11.10 postage. I've found this quite often with sellers that claim to sell only to the U.S., so it's always worth asking. Apparently there's a lot of countries that have been awkward to post to which is one reason for the reluctance, but Australia is not one of these. If you say that you've never had a problem buying from the U.S and say you use paypal, in many instances I have found the seller agrees. One time a TV set I bought was 'U.S only' because the seller thought the postage would be too expensive, but was more than happy to sell to me if I was prepared to pay it. If you have contacted the seller directly and he now says no, I'd like to know - I'll edit the posting to indicate this.

Thanks for the reply. I contacted the seller who said that he would post to Australia. Three sets are now on the way.

That's good to know. The feet are really well made; I suspect better than the originals were (which appear to be some kind of hard rubber). The new feet have a very smooth surface, so despite the weight of the fridge, it can be slid across a carpeted floor without much difficulty.

The only concern I have with the new feet, which I own a set of, is GE said the originals helped isolate vibration from the floor.
The new ones being hard plastic of some type, will do no such thing.

Vibration? I don't know about other models but the CA is vibration free. Sometimes I look at the power meter to see if it's actually running, it's that quiet.

The foot pads arrived last week. Is there a connection between the seller and Monitor Tops other than making new feet.
