Subzero and it isn't even close IMO if you want something that will last. It can be worked on if needed.

LG. He starts off with LG. My new LG fridge arrived not working. Store said I had to go through warranty process. Took over a week for LG to send a repairman to look at it and he actually has nothing good to say about LG. I also found out it’s difficult in my area anyway to get an LG person out. In the interim the store replaced the fridge with Frigidaire bf I even heard from the LG person. Will never buy that brand again.

he also mentions calling around to se what brands local repair companies can actually work on in your area. also, he doesnt have LG on the top of his list, he mentions its at the top of some data list that he used. he didnt endorse the brand

Yes. I’ll look for more videos from him. I should have just said he was on point with LG, was too early in the morning for me to be writing that reply.

My 20 y/o Kenmore has had to have two minor repairs since I've owned it. Ice maker replacement was one. I asked the repair guy what brand he would recommend if I was looking to buy. He said to keep the one I've got. Rarely go down, parts are easy to get, and cheap to fix. He also said that todays refrigerators are basically built to throw away, and to definitely stay away from Samsung and LG.

We have a Frigidaire Professional series and it's been trouble free for over 10 yrs. Maybe 12-13 y.o.

Learned a lesson on Sunday. Lost power Saturday morning when the wind and rain from the hurricane arrived. Power out ten hours.
Everything came on …except for the GE Refrigerator and the control panel. Internet said “leave it alone” stay out of the refrigerator.
Repair Tech on line, said 12 hours to reset and start up.
Walked into the kitchen Sunday morning, motor running, set the panel…..no problems since.

ive told this story every few years on here but always fun to revisit with current update.
this freezer lived at my aunt's house in the 1950s; moved to my house in the mid 1960s..survived both me and my brother trying to abuse it as kids and my uncle filling it COMPLETELY full of venisen every deer season
and in 2026 its still going strong. loud AF compressor but ZERO repairs in its lifetime and the only thing to break was the little clear plastic cover over those inventory cards that i used to take on and off constantly as a kid. i got a licking for breaking it.
fricker still looks almost brand new on the inside aside from a few aluminum dings.

36 years for us too. It has a black glass door. A plumber walked in and asked if it was one of those new refrigerators where you can touch it and see everything inside.

We just got a Whirlpool that replaced a GE that crapped out after 7 years.
I think they are all designed to last about 7 years

BIL is in refrigeration business. He claims today they are all about the same. Experiences and products are totally different than 10-20 years ago.

We've had Samsung appliances forever. Only issues have been the icemaker in the fridge of course, and our stove gave out after about 12 years.
I google best mid range appliance company and LG seemed to win the internet war. So we are replacing our Samsung with LG as needed. Just got an LG stove. Seems fine.

I'm on year 5 with Thermador columns and have had no issues. Would recommend.

8 years ago when building, I did a lot of research on appliances.
In short, all companies aim for a 10-yr life. It apparently is the sweet spot that people will still buy your product, but don't think it's too short and go to another brand.
Whirlpool had the tightest bell-curve on the 10-yr mark. We ended up going that route for all our kitchen appliances. This is the fridge we ended up getting. Dual ice makers, 1 in the fridge, another in the freezer. I've had zero issues with the one in the fridge.
Overall, I've only had 1 issue with the unit which is when I had to replace a valve on the back due to deposit build up. $40 part so no big deal.

In between 10/4 when I posted that my Frigidaire has been pretty good. It's now broken. 6 months old and it's leaking water from behind the water filter housing. They did have available people on Monday to come look at it though.

Anything from an estate sale in a well-kept home that was made before 2000.
Good luck.

Have a Viking in the main kitchen that we’ve had some problems with over the years.
However my Samsung I’ve hauled through 3 moves that has been in the garage since 2011 is still roaring along like a beast without ever needing any maintenance. Have had it since 2006ish

I just retired a six year old Frigidaire Gallery out to the garage where it can leak all it wants to leak. POS. I'd have to take it apart every six months to clean things out and get it to stop leaking for a few months. Before that, I was doing the same thing to a Samsung.
Next one we get is going to be basic as hell. No ice. No water. Just cold. If the kids want ice in their drinks, they can learn to fill up the trays.
