avoid french door fridges- they suck- ours isnt even a year old and the inside seal is already ripping because folks sometimes use the left door to open first, and it stresses the flap seal of the second door - wish we hadn’t bought this fridge-
I had a Roper refrigerator that I bought in ‘78. I did one service call for it in about ‘94 and it was still running when I sold my KC house in 2013 and left it — 35 years of service.
I bought a house with a top of the line LG refrigerator. The compressor had been warrantied for 7 years. At 7 years and 2 months, it died dead.
Bought another house with an LG. 7 years old, it died as well.
Bought a cheap Frigidaire — I expect it to go in little time as well but it is US made.
Had not heard about that problem with French Doors.
What brand? We got an LG two months ago, but we almost always open the right side door, even if we then open the right. Kinda used to it because our old fridge was a side-by-side with the freezer on the left. Damn, the freezer’s huge, could hide a body in there...
I didn’t know there was such a thing.
