Wife & I have decided to replace the absolute worst refrigerator we've ever owned.
It's a 5 year old Samsung and has had more service related issues than any fridge I've owned.
Noise issues, LOUD knocking, whirring, clanking like it's possessed by demons.
Ice maker 3rd time on the fritz.
Now the water dispenser is trickling water at around 1/3 stream, like an old man with an enlarged prostate.

We have an extended warranty but no one can seem to fix it.

We also have Samsung washer and dryer and the washing machine is hands down the loudest I've ever owned, but at least it works and never had a service call in 5 years.

So can any of you recommend a "quiet" refrigerator, it doesn't need to have all the hi tech connectivity, just a simple refrigerator with ice maker & water dispenser.

kitchenaid and frigidaire

stay away from LG and Samsung

You might want to remember that here in Florida, the third time a problem requires a warranty repair, the appliance is labeled a "Lemon" and the manufacturer is required to replace it or refund the full purchase price. Before shopping around, you might want to google kitchen appliance fires before settling on a brand. The last time I looked, the refridgerator was the third most common appliance for starting kitchen fires.

Sub Zero.

Lol. I'm not buying a fridge that cost more than my car!

That being said, we have a Frigidaire which we bought on clearance from Lowes (+10% off for military discount). Good reviews, no issues for over a year now.

I noticed the fridge had no badging anywhere, except on the interior, printed on the plastic backing. One badge "Frigidaire" that can't be seen if you have anything on the shelf, soo...went to Ebay and bought this to stick on the front:



Now everyone oooh's and aah's over our "Sub Zero" fridge.

Samsung refrigerators bite.

We purchased a Whirlpool fridge last January. Not real fancy, but we love it. I would not own any Samsung appliance.

Just bought a Whirlpool & we love it. Side by Side, ice maker is in the door, not up top in freezer.
Had a Frigidaire & hated it.....ice maker would spit ice all over, even when you had your glass under it.

Liking what I'm hearing.
Yes, my current ice maker spits ice every which way, 3 make it into the glass, 1 goes on the floor consistently.
75% success rate.

Whirlpool Corporation owns the Jenn-Air, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and KitchenAid brands.
