If you need a fridge on short notice and a Samsung model looks like a top bet, it probably won’t be a disaster. It’s just not the first (or second, or third) brand we’d recommend. Less than three years after purchase we started having issues. Purchased the 3 year extended warranty, which we assumed would cover us 3 years, hence the name of the warranty. Called Lowe’s and they said the warranty is actually 2 years, 2 extended and 1 from the manufacturer.
The refrigerators all feature an ice maker and come in stainless steel, white and black. The brand name, model and serial number for each unit is printed on a label located on the right panel in the interior of the refrigerator compartment. Gave them the serial number and model number and they told us it was under warranty. They sent us their official servicer who performed the repair and a few days later they call saying we owe $500+ because our fridge is in fact not under warranty. A company like them claiming payment after the repair was performed is extremely unprofessional. Their customer service is absolutely useless and ignorant and now we’re getting into legal action because of their utter incompetence.
Large refrigerator with 3 full-width wire shelves, 1 half-width shelf, humidity-controlled crisper drawers, and 2 full-width door racks. Designed with single-knob temperature control and bright lighting for easy visibility. The shallowest freestanding counter-depth fridges measure about 27 inches deep, as much as 9 inches (25%) shallower than a standard-depth whirlpool mini refrigerator model. (That’s counting the handles in both cases, but not the 2 inches you should leave between the back of the fridge and the wall for circulation). The doors aren’t flush with cabinetry like those of a “true” counter-depth model, but the overall design tends to feel less obtrusive than a standard-depth model, which can jut way out beyond your cabinets.
Its line of French door fridges is more expensive, but only because each model includes features like door-in-door storage, a hands-free water dispenser, and built-in Wi-Fi. Notably, its highest-end models even feature a Keurig dispenser, so you can fill your water bottle and coffee cup in a snap. Whirlpool was one of the few brands that had enough survey responses about bottom-freezer models to be statistically significant, and the ratings were strong. Bottom-freezer fridges are a bit of a hidden gem, offering a lot of the same advantages of French-door models but for a much lower price. We can’t say with confidence how Whirlpool’s bottom-freezer models (like the WRB322DMBM) compare to those of other brands in the eyes of most owners, but Whirlpool’s options seem like a solid choice if you need one. Whirlpool earned solid marks for customer service in our survey, too, though we didn’t find customer reviews actively praising the service the same way that we did for GE.
If the thought of 1,800 color combinations is overwhelming, users will be able to turn off the color elements and opt for LG’s signature Lux White or Lux Gray facade instead. LG also launched a new Mirror InstaView Counter-Depth MAX Refrigerator, which has an impressive 25.5-cubic-foot capacity. Keep your Frigidaire refrigerator clean to reduce any buildup of grime or bacteria. The best time to clean your fridge is right before you do the groceries, as that is when it’s the emptiest. Remove items off each shelf and spray the shelf with a mixture of water and vinegar.

If you’re looking to maximize your fridge storage space (and don’t mind a slightly smaller freezer), the Frigidaire FRSS2623AS is one of the roomier side-by-sides we’ve reviewed. The average side-by-side refrigerator provides 10.92 cubic feet of storage in its fridge. The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS manages to provide an impressive 12.39 cubic feet. That extra 1.47-cubic-foot difference equates to a lot of extra space—about 10gallons of milk worth. The Frigidaire FRSS2623AS features a clean stainless steel exterior with two robust handles along its middle, with its through-the-door dispenser to the left.
That’s a reasonable way to try to do it, but there isn’t much of that historical data to begin with, especially outside of the five major brands. Looking to past performance also can’t account for changes in the way refrigerators are currently manufactured. We’ve learned from talking to manufacturers and touring appliance factories that components, processes, and employees can change as often as every few weeks, yet the product’s model name remains the same.
Your microwave’s model number may vary, but is most commonly found in one of the following locations. Either along the interior side trim of the microwave and visible when the door is opened, or on the left-side panel and visible when the door is opened. The model number of an upright freezer can be seen along the interior side trim and visible when the door is opened. The model number of a chest freezer can be seen along the left exterior wall, above the access panel.

Your range/stove’s model number may vary, but is most commonly found in one of the following locations. I recently had to downsize my life and had to obtain a new refrigerator on a budget. I perused the various consumer journals for what seemed like hours and finally chose a Frigidaire Professional. After price shopping online, Appliances Connection had exactly what I wanted for much less than I was planning to spend. Next time it’ll be my first stop shopping for the rest of my appliances.
