Select Rowsource based on 2 criteria

I have been using Case statements to create dependent drop down lists for combo boxes with success.

I have a combobox dropdown to select appliance brand cmb.appbrand with pulls from rowsource= "Appliance_Brand".
The very next drop down combobox is to select the color cmb.appcolor.rowsource = "Appliance_Color".
The next comobbox cmb.refrigerator needs to be dependent on the combination of the brand and color.
For example: If cmb.Appbrand.value = "GE" and cmb.APPcolor.value = "Stainless Steel" Then
I want the rowsource for cmb.refrigerator to be "GE_STAINLESS_REFRIGERATOR"

How do I combine the dependent functionality to be based on 2 criteria instead of 1?

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
This is an example of code I use. It's a lot of code, but maybe you will find something useful.
Code:
Function Find_Row_Multi_Criteria(Sheet_Spec, Primary_String, Primary_Col, _                                         Secondary_String, Secondary_Col, _
