Our fridge is a GE Profile, I've no complaints... purchased new some
20 years ago and has never needed service. We have a second fridge in
the basement, bare bones, wire shelves, purchased used some 15 years
ago from a local appliance store for $100, has never needed service.
This is a 3rd generation family owned appliance store. The present
owner told me they know which older units were made to run forever, so
when people up grade and want the old unit removed they know which to
tune up and sell used. The owner told me that most people with an
older unit want something modern looking and refuse to have the older
unit tuned for a few dollars., but they don't know that most of the
new units with all the latest bells and whistles are designed with
planned obsolesence.
