A couple of years ago, our 2+ year old Kenmore frig died while we were on travel. We had a warranty service which sent out a repairman. He fixed it, but it was followed by 3 successive failures in less than 2 months. I spoke with the repairman who said about 60% of his repairs involve frigs with LG parts, particularly their compressors. I asked which manufacturers we should avoid, and he told me it's easier to tell me which ones I should consider. He said buy a GE, Frigidaire, Kitchen Aide or Whirlpool. They do not use LG parts. Bought a GE and have been happy ever since. Of course, that may be the announcer's curse.
