I know a guy that has a 1957 pink refrigerator in his basement and it still runs. No fans or auto-defrost of course, but it looks practically brand new. Very quiet, too.

The newer refrigerators last 5 to 8 years and then they cannot be repaired for less than 80% of the cost of a new one and the parts take 3 weeks to get.

I have ended up with two houses in the last 12 years that had a top LG and both died one month after the 7 year compressor warranty.

I consider them all disposable now after talking extensively with repair people.

I had a cheap Roper I bought in ‘78 that was still going fine when I sold it with a house in 2013.
