A number of newer Whirlpool fridges are said to have a lifespan between 10 and 20 years. A few years ago LG went with a horizontal compressor that had close to a 100 percent failure rate.
Our 33 year old Kenmore refrigerator is going south. Shopping for replacement. Not french door type. 30 W X 28 D. Top Freezer. Leaning to LG or Whirlpool. What's good now and what's junk? Guessing Nothing will last 30 years now days. Our whole kitchen was Kenmore. Most of it was junk but the refrigerator stood the test of time.
