We had a KitchenAid fridge crap out and tried or damnedest to get it repaired. In the end, the repair tech said we could throw $1000 worth of parts at it and hope, or get a new fridge. This was our first matching set of appliances and my wife was not going back to slumming with an unmatched kitchen. Guess who had to spend 4K on a new fridge. We didn’t even get a touchscreen. I don’t expect this one to last either.
Sad thing is its not only refrigerators. Dishwashers, washers, and driers are all junk as well. My parents have had 2 dryers in the last 8 years and my aunt 3 in the last 10 with one of them being repaired like 10 times in 3 years because something was always breaking. Not sure if our family just has horrible luck with those things or if they really are just that crappy now
