How old is your refrigerator?

I have a 1997 Maytag. No need to replace as of yet. Built in USA. Iowa.

My Maytag washer lasted up until 2022. Bought together. The dryer went out in 2020.

Average life span of refrigerators these days is 12-15 years so consider yourself lucky. Very lucky. If I'm not mistaken, Norge went out of business because their products lasted too long.

I just got a new one last summer after buying house in May. The house had the original fridge from when it was built in 1979, and yes it still worked (except about an inch of water would stay in the bottom, even if I scooped it out. Yes, 45 years old.

The one we have now is a stainless Hi Sense. Pretty good sized french door with pull out freezer door. It's about 4 years old. The one before was a Samsung. Let me just say that they make crappy appliances. Paid a few grand for it and it was THE biggest hunk of junk. Never again. They make great phones and tvs, however.

Everyone makes crap appliances now. The lone exception now would probably be Speed Queen washers and dryers. They aren't cheap, but you'll never have to replace them. If something DOES break, a person with even absolutely MINIMAL to ZERO "fix-it" skills can repair them.

My mom passed away in 2010. Her refrigerator was a GE that my dad got when he retired as a gift in 1981. So 29 years it lasted. And was still working.

Like cars now a days the more technology and whistles and bells the more that can go wrong.

I've worked for GE Aplliances in Louisville for 22 years now. We've had pretty good luck with the appliances we've had in our house.

Does your refrigerator still run?


















Better hurry up and catch it

Most appliances now a days built to be replaced every 5-10 years. Pretty much built to be obsolete and not repaired when they break down,they just don't make them like they use to.
