I just pulled the trigger on a new set of kitchen appliances! Ordered from Costco, delivery next week. New refrigerator by Samsung (NOT Family Hub, just the 4-door flex with beverage center), a matching dishwasher, and a new convection double wall oven. I’m so excited!
We shall see. My current Whirlpools are 15 years old and have their fair share of issues.
Refrigerator: randomly thinks the doors are open because the compressor is having to work too hard to maintain temperature which causes a beeping alarm that won’t stop, freezer drawer gets stuck sometimes, freezer light hasn’t worked in years, ice maker hasn’t worked in years, the “stainless steel” doors have a big section below the in-door water and ice dispenser that is rusted and flaking away (when the ice maker worked, it would often spit out a cube or two after the person walked away, which would sit in the little tray and melt, next person would open the door not noticing the water in the tray, causing the water to slosh onto the front, promoting rust).
Dishwasher: black kickplate has totally rusted away, rinse agent dispenser broke a long time ago and can’t be fixed, replaced control panel board once already and it needs it again (the lights to indicate which cycle it’s in or when it’s done don’t work).
Oven: 25 years old, exposed heating elements that burn drips, just basic (original with the house) and old.
