I’ve had issues with 4 different Whirlpool brands appliances, some quite high end, between this house and my son’s. I wouldn’t buy anything they make at this point.
And your regulatory morons in DC are part of the problem. They’ve made it so appliances don’t operate well. If they’re going to do anything (arguably they shouldn’t), they should be focusing on longevity and repairability of the device so it doesn’t end up in the landfill prematurely, vs. water and energy use when operating.
My basement Whirlpool fridge/freezer combo is what my parents (both deceased) bought in 1973. I replaced the compressor starter capacitor about 20 years ago for $20 and changed the light bulb for a LED version. They don’t make them like they used to.
