How Old Is Your Refrigerator?

My father has a 1950's model in the garage still working fine.

I have a Kenmore that is around 35 years old. The other, GE, is 22. An upright freezer died at age 7.

I have a Whirlpool side by side that was 27 years on this past June. Still works like a charm.

My Kenmore upright freezer is 28 years old and still works perfectly. My 18-month-old black stainless steel Samsung sidebyside fridge is a piece of !#&! and already has a broken piece of molding on the bottom under the door and has only one freezer level that works: icicles.

For all of you with older applances hold on to them. The newer ones don't last. My house was built in 2018 and the Whirlpool dishwasher died last December it was less than 3 years old. My neighbor had to replace the motor in her A/C last year. Once again less than 3years old.

@Duckncover We had an upright Kenmore freezer that we bought in 1984. I lasted through 2 moves and we never had one problem with it. Every year we would roll it out to the edge of the garage and hose it out to defrost it and then roll it back. We had to get rid of it in 2018 when we downsized. It was still working.

I painted my refrigerator last year with appliance paint because internally it still works so well. It now looks brand new.

In the process I found the serial number and traced it to a manufacturer's date of 1993. It was in the house when I bought it in 1995. So that is 28 years old. It is a GE.

My Amana central air unit I believe to be more than 35 years old, since I know that it was installed by the owner previous to the ones that I bought the house from. I had it repaired one time, 11 years ago. Every year I hold my breath, but it keeps on going. I've had to purchase two new furnaces in this time period.
