We bought a new Whirlpool duet frontloader washer 3 years ago and I am thrilled with it. Not a single problem ever other than operator error. It has a lock out feature on it so kids can’t mess with it and I managed to lock myself out. :o Good think I keep my manuals! LOL My DSis on the other hand bought a LG about 5 months before I bought mine and it’s broke down several times. Granted she has kids but still a 3 year old washer should not be having problems!
I know someone who has a fancy LG refrig and it had problems. Getting parts was hard and finding someone who services them is not easy.
I will stick with Whirlpool and will never buy GE.
