OK, maybe this is just me. But when I buy a refrigerator, my main concerns are two-fold...

1) does it keep my stuff at the appropriate temperature?

... and ...

2) how long will it last?


That second question was added to my list after I had bought a refrigerator that died after five years, just past the warranty period for the sealed refrigeration system of the fridge that had failed.

So, they company timed that right. But the result is that I'll not buy another appliance from that major US company.
