Our original Maytag/Whirlpool fridge was a quiet, roomy, and nice bottom-freezer fridge.
It lasted 3.5 years until the copper line through the evaporation pan corroded and broke. Designed lemon.

There was supposed to be a 5 year warrenty on parts.
During the visit of the second tech(the first refered was not "factory authorized"), Whirlpool customer service then claimed there was no warrenty.
The cost of parts(inc/compressor) were over half the $750 repair for the $850 fridge. Even after replacing those, it's no guarrentee that copper dust and water isn't trapped somewhere in the system.

We lived out of coolers for two weeks based on a promise for nothing.
Bought a Frigidaire.

Is everything made junk these days?
