Refrigerator recommendations.

 I just replaced my dryer last month and now my refrigerator is on it's last leg. I don't need anything with too many features as it's just myself. I would like an ice maker though .At only 6yrs old my current large G.E. has already needed 3 repairs. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

hard to find plain frig's these days, so many bells and whistles whether u want them or not. 

 

i would steer clear of Samsung, no one i know has had good luck with them. 

 

LG is pretty reliable.  what is your size and price range?

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I haven't heard anything good about any of them.  It's the one appliance on which I'd definitely get an extended warranty.  It's criminal to pay so much for such shoddy appliances.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I've had a very basic Samsung french door fridge--no ice maker, water dispenser, etc.--for 5 or 6 years now, with absolutely NO ISSUES.

 

Again NO bells or whistles on this one...it's equipped for an ice maker, though, we just decided we didn't want it.

I also have a French door refrigerator for the past several years as well.

 

There is nothing on the outside if that's what you are looking for, but it does make ice automatically in the bottom drawer freezer, if that is all you need. You can also turn it off which is what I do since I never use ice. 

 

I think it may be a Samsung, but I would have to go home and look if a freezer ice maker with nothing outside on the door is okay for you.

My former husband worked for a huge property management company i.e. lots of units so the discount was very good passed on to the employees.

 

We all ordered GE refrigerators, some even bought the Monogram line which is around $5,000.

 

None of us liked them, freezing food in the refrigerator and as you say multiple repairs.

 

We have a Samsung Door in Door French Door refrigerator and love it, have had it about 6 years.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

We just replaced our Samsung (lasted 12 years) with an LG...so far, it is okay....I liked the Samsung better. 

 

None of them are great these days and they cost a fortune. Smiley Sad
