@Foxxee I'll bet collectors would pay a mighty price for that fridge!

Yes, asked my father to hold on to it. I want it.

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.

We bought a kitchen aide in 2008. So far no problems.

I try to stir clear of any appliances like fridge, washers and dryers with computers or boards that go bad etc.

When we first got married and we bought our first house we bought a used washer and dryer for 300.00 for the set.
The brand was a Norge which I had never heard of and still dont know anyone who had that brand. But they lasted us for 24 years.
They were so old I wanted them to break down so I could get a newer set ( young and navie). First the washer went and then the dryer.
We bought a new GE washer without the agitation and it only lasted 4 years. I hated it and went back for one with the agitator with no bells and whistles.

I think that is the secret. Agitators, and no bells and whistles.

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.

I vowed never to part with my Kenmore Elite washer, but when it stopped working, I found out that the needed part wasn't available anymore. So I'm now the proud owner of a new Speed Queen washer. Sometimes we can't hang onto our beloved oldies, as much as we might want to. (Hoping my Kenmore fridge lasts forever.)

I had a basic Whirlpool refrigerator - which lasted 24 years - when the freezer stopped defrosting. That was 2 years ago. I bought the same Whirlpool refrigerator (this design is much better) - and the salesman said "this should last about 8 years." I paid around $700 for each. I have a smaller Danby refrigerator (from Canada) in my garage. It's around 16 years old and still going strong.
