LG and Samsung are both notoriously awful for this. Even when they come with crazy long warranties, parts will never be available.
The irony is that cheaper models are still crazy durable - less circuitry, less moving parts, less "economy" features, more off-the-shelf components. If you actually want appliances that last forever, think like a landlord and buy yourself the boring products.
- ncr100 3y agoThis raises a good point worth repeating: realities of maintenance. Even for the 'best' refrigerators, it can be VERY painful to respond to a reasonable defect maintenance issue for certain manufacturers. And it may depend upon the locale you're in. Tip: Ask questions about repair ETAs when buying new, for each model.

- xedrac 3y agoMy LG fridge compressor lasted 3 years. Manufacturer warranty was 10 years, but only covered the cost of the part. Labor to replace it was $700 (called the different places). Needless to say, I went and bought a boring fridge for $1000, and it's already lasted longer than the LG did.
