I sure hope your luck holds out. Knocking on wood with you.

What years were/are they???

We got the fridge in 2004. Everything else was here when we moved in.

Whirlpool used to be an excellent brand many moons ago. My parents still have the 70's washer and dryer. Hey, it works better than my modern GE appliances.

Hmmm...I think the fridge is 5-6 years old Maybe 4?, the dishwasher 3? Somewhere around there.

Yes that was the reason. She couldn't keep the fingerprints off it. I have always found the best way to find out if something you want to buy is a good idea is consumer reports and everyone you know.

I love my freezer on the bottom refrigerator. I asked people who had them before I bought it. I haven't had the freezer on top since then probably over 25 years ago. Which do you go into more?

I have fridgidare stove, microwave, washer and dryer.
I have the gallary series. (this is there middle/higher end)
Fridgidare is actually made by electrolux.

I have not had any problems with them at all and have had them for 5 years.
The year that I got them the stove was on consumer reports list it was one of the top 10.

between me and mom we have had a little of everyting, there were good ones in bad ones all throughout.

What I do now is go to Lowes scratch and dent section and see what is on sale. I live only about 5 minutes away, so I will go once a week until I find what I need at a price I can afford. Keep in mind when buying scratch and dent to check out the warrenties that come with them.
