WOW! My fridge is plenty old, maybe I can get in on this (sarc, but my fridge really IS pretty old!)
Does GE still make refrigerators? If so, that says a lot.
Problem is that when I bought my fridge 23 years ago they were built to last. Now, they are good for 5 -6 years. You know, planned obsolescence.
There are only about four manufactures of Fridges anymore, not including the really expensive brands like Viking.
GE, Amana/Maytag/Whirpool, Bosch and LG. I believe all the rest are made by one of these three.
My french door that I bought a year ago says Amana on the outside and Maytag on the inside. I think it was actually assembled in Iowa. The GE’s we looked at said made in Mexico. The LG are made in Korea. Bosch are Germany.
Also, my Kitchenaid dishwasher is made by Whirpool. The dealer told me almost all the dishwashers are made by Whirpool except Bosch.
