#1 - do not buy Whirlpool appliances! I could give lots of examples but one is that the refrigerator stopped making ice at 18 months. Repair guy says “yep that’s a known defect of yer main harness. Parts $ labor $450. Whirlpool stove and dishwasher are just as bad. Dishwasher stopped working at 4 years.

3 months ago bought matching Samsung washer and dryer. But I lucked out because the “matching” pair was an electric washer and a GAS dryer! Lucky because after trying out the washer I will not buy the matching dryer.

Also bought a smart LG oven/stove and it’s too damn smart. We pushed some buttons and it locked us out of the oven. Took me 20 minutes to figure that out.

Did I mention to NOT BUY WHIRLPOOL?!

Sad, too, because 30 years or so ago I wouldn’t buy anything BUT a Whirlpool.

I worked a summer on the refrigerator line ar Whirlpool in 1978.

They were well made then.

I made sure of it! 😀

I put a plug in and two grommets before it went into the insulation machine.
