<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 868297, member: 182&quot;]The End of the Fridge Journey . . .&nbsp; Best Buy delivered a new Whirlpool yesterday.&nbsp; Hope I have better luck than SBSVC.&nbsp; It was supposed to come Friday, but I postponed it because my owner&#039;s manual on the LG said the Compressor was warranted by the Manuf. for 10 years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, had to call Sears (who is still operating their appliance repair service).&nbsp; Talked to a rep named Diego, explained everything and he set up an appointment for the following Saturday.&nbsp; Guess what?&nbsp; They never showed up!!&nbsp; Called Sears again and the woman had no explanation, just that there was no apptment in their system.&nbsp; I was hoping they could repair the compressor under warranty and then I wouldn&#039;t need a new fridge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At that point hubby was beyond livid so we decided to take delivery on the new refrigerator.&nbsp; So . . . I am out the cost of a new fridge, ALL of the food in the fridge, and I had to pay $400 more to get this new one, because the Whirlpool I really wanted wasn&#039;t available until September.&nbsp; The new LGs were on sale but I just couldn&#039;t pull the trigger on one.&nbsp; And they are all &quot;wi-fi enabled&quot; etc.&nbsp; One even has a tablet built into the door (that should last what, about a year?).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like a target, a mark, a victim of some scheme to suck all the money these people can get out of me.&nbsp; As a consumer, I really want to fight back but don&#039;t know how.&nbsp; Major appliances should last longer than 8 years.&nbsp; Yet, the whole industry seems to be taking the incredibly short system life as just the way it is.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole thing was incredibly stressful and I&#039;m glad it&#039;s finally over.&nbsp; (End of Whine)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>PS&nbsp; - Hubby felt obligated to tip the trashman due to the incredibly foul odor emanating from the can.&nbsp; He tossed it, including the can, in a few seconds and was happy for the tip.&nbsp;&nbsp; The can stunk so bad that we had to keep it outside for a couple of days (odor in garage was seeping into house).&nbsp; Hubs had multiple strategies for keeping away the critters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
