We had our Amana refrigerator for 6 years and the compressor went out. Appliance repairman said it would costabout $600 parts and labor to repair....UGH! You are right-things arent made last any longer.
We purchased an LG french door freezer on the bottom 25cu.ft. that cost $1100. It better last a LONG time! There is 7 year waranty on the compressor.
I didn't know much about LG brand, so i went to Expedia and found they are the 3rd largest maker of appliance behind Whirlpool and Electrolux. LG is a South Korean company which is a merger of a Asain company called 'Lucky' and Goldstar. Remember the Goldstar electronics from the 60's and 70's? LG big into electronics, my cell phone is an LG. I guess just about everything is circuit board comuter chip electronics now.
And i agree about the friendly home-town hardware store is no longer to be found. I got this Fridge from Home Depot with free delivery and they removed the broken-down Amana for free too.
