We had all Whirlpool appliances in our house we left in PA. 15+ years with nary a problem until the DW developed a pinhole and leaked right before we sold and we had to replace it. Moved into a brand new build home with GE and they were all pieces of junk. There for 7 years and had to replace the icemaker twice in the fridge, DW never cleaned right and the microwave literally fell apart (vent cover fell off on my head and front control panel fell off). Put in an LG microwave and it was working fine when we sold. New build house was supposed to have GE appliances and I told them to not even bother putting them in. They refused to give us credit for them, so we sold them on Craigslist. We've been here almost 8 years with LG fridge....love it, only had a sensor replaced, LG microwave....love it, no problems, Fridgidaire.....wanted an induction range (not just cooktop) and love it, no problems. The LG diswasher is OK, but I wanted a Bosch but was talked into this one. DH replaced a part on the front door that was causing a leak. He just followed directions on the parts site. It will be a Bosch the next time as I'm not happy with the cleaning on this one. My LG front load washer and dryer was purchased for the other house. It is currently almost 13 years old now and still going strong. DH replaced a couple sensors about 5 years ago on the dryer using a YouTube video. I have not yet had a problem with the front load washer but then again I take care of it. Keep the seals clean and never had a leak (knock on wood) and since I leave both the door and dispenser tray open to dry out for a day when I am done I have not had an odor problem. They were stacked at the other house and now they are side by side on pedestals here. I also did a TON of research for appliances and these are what I came up with (except for the LG dishwasher) and have been happy so far.
My daughter ordered a GE fridge, against my warnings, and has regretted it. Believe it or not it actually came without one of the doors! After several months when they finally did get it the ice maker didn't work properly. The repair person that GE sent was absolutely worthless. They ended up having to get a total new door. The house they bought had all LG appliances obviously from a scratch & dent sale (or at least the fridge was) and all are working fine. They have a little one and the dishwasher gets run every single day. The range is gas and the microwave is a slightly less version that the one we have. They just wanted a newer fridge without the dents. Unfortunately most of the good old brands just aren't the same anymore.
