in lieu of posting another topic, is it similar for dishwashers? |

My family has had good luck with WP and KA, but older units that may not reflect current offerings. Granny had a 1984 WP with one repair (compressor start relay) through her death in 2013. It sold with the house, don't know how long the buyers kept it. Parents' top-freezer KA is 26 years, no repairs other than ice maker. My KA top-freezer (relegated to garage unit in 2005) is 24 years, no repairs (except the ice maker swapped to the parents). 2004 GE Arctica SxS came with my current house (in 2005) has had the motherboard and freezer evap fan replaced, water valve assembly, ice dispenser chute flapper & solenoid, and the water dispenser line went to leaking under the unit 3 years ago so is no longer usable (ice maker feed line is as-yet OK). |

thank you guys so much for your input! we went with LG for our washer/dryer but are almost definitely going with kitchenaid for our kitchen. |

Your best bet may be an add on downdraft system. A number of options and power levels. |

Yes, i can see the downdraft affecting the flames. That is why I suggested the add on version. it extends up 8-12" when in use and would have less effect on the gas burners. |

This is the fridge that we bought last year and it finally got delivered 3 weeks ago. It’s an LG and so far no issues with it and it runs silently. I know from what I read that LG was off the list but I will tell you that Whirlpool built fridges are not all that. Your mileage may vary.

I'm coming up on a year with a GE GNE25 series french door. This refrigerator AFAIK has the largest capacity for its 33" width, which was a major constraint because of my kitchen layout. It lacks a lot of the bells and whistles that only appear on fridges 36" or greater. It does have chilled filtered water inside the door. The icemaker makes cubes in under half an hour. It's whisper quiet and just works great.
My only regret is not getting the fridge in finger resistant slate, which is what the sides are covered in. The doors are SS, which was the only thing in stock. All other options would have taken months to arrive, as everything is backordered these days. I bought what was available. CLICK HERE TO GO TO WhiteWhiskers's LINK |

I have always trusted GE fridges. I had one in my first house that was a 2006 and it was just great. In my second house that we sold last year had a side by side Kenmore and a GE top freezer fridge from 1998 that were both 22 years old. The Kenmore needed a new ice maker in its life, the GE never needed anything. When we bought this house, it came with a 2018 GE 28 cubic foot french door. This is my favorite GE of them all. My mother saw it when they visited last year and now wants one for their kitchen. I have no idea how long it will last but it will be repaired if anything happens.

Hi ... As part of the new kitchen after the fire I got this GE fridge. The important thing was the second ice maker (option) in the freezer. Really happy with this fridge.
