Brands like Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Whirlpool generally don’t manufacture anything anymore. They pay other companies to make the appliances and then slap their name on them. And you can guarantee they go with the lowest bidder.
I’ll read the Consumer Reports reviews and see what the comments say. Their rankings can give you an idea of the models to avoid at least. Even in the same brand, one model can be wildly different from another model simply due to who the real manufacturer was, or just the parts used.
Sometimes the reviews are detailed and thorough, but sometimes they only list the basics. Usually for the appliances they go in depth in my experience.

I avoid all those brands now.
They were all made at the amana factory about 20 years ago.
Do you have any suggestions for fridge brands? A coworker suggested Jennair but they’re quite expensive.
