Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

We have a cheap Electrolux French door that is 8 years, totally quiet except when it dumps ice and never any trouble with it.

 

You never know.  If you have any recommencations for one that is TOTALLY quiet I'd like to know for future reference.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

AVOID SAMSUNG. Every Samsung I have ever owned has been a lemon....read online reviews. There's lots of complaints.

 

I have an LG and have no complaints.  Good luck.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I'm going to join the bandwagon of the people that say No Samsung!  Our fridge still works okay, but trying get parts for it is extremely expensive. My husband can fix anything and went to order the rubber gasket that goes around the doors and it was $300! And you have to use their parts if you want it to fit properly. So we're just going to hang onto for awhile and just buy a new fridge.

  We had the same problem with our Samsung dishwasher. We needed new wheels for the racks and they were $30 for a set of two. And we needed four sets. He ordered a generic set to try,but they didn't fit properly and kept falling off. So we bought a new Bosch dishwasher and we love it.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I would start off by saying stay away from Samsung. Have Hurd tons of bad stuff about Samsung. We bout a new whirlpool refrigerator with freezer on top last January and we already had it fixed twice due to a freezer problem not defrosting.its frost free . I got paper work to buy a service contract on it and I did buy it. From what I have seen about companies that handle service contracts whirlpool and Maytag contracts are really good. I looked into buy a contract on our he washer and the company that handles ge contracts reviews were almost all awful about how bad they do or don't honor and do repairs so I didn't buy it. That ge washer did die under 6 years old.had I had a good contract that whirlpool and Maytag contracts provide I could have gotten washer fixed and it would have been covered 100 percent. Good luck.choosing a new refrigerator. Consider buying a contract. Ice makers tend to being need to bbe fixed alot.I Hurd that from a repair man. So good luck.

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I just remodeled my kitchen a year ago. I sprung for high end appliances this time around. I got all Blue Star brand. Counter depth frig and a 48" Dual fuel oven. After using these appliances for a year now I will NEVER go back to the other cheaper brands. You certainly get what you paid for with something better. I'm over-the-moon in love with my frig and oven!

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

@blinksmom  I asked my refrigerator repairman which appliances he repaired the least and he told me Frigidaire. We have a stack washer and dryer that is over 22 years old and it's a Fridgidair. Our fridge is a Whirlpool and its 16 years old with one minor repair. 
The repairman said that any appliances made after 1989 aren't the quality they used to be. We also have a Kenmore side by side in our basement for extra storage that we bought in 1991 which has never needed a repair. So, it's fair to say that appliances aren't made like they used to be. 
Good luck 🍀

Re: Refrigerator recommendations.

I have a great repairman.  He said Samsung is not good.  He likes Kitchenaid.
