As built home bought new appliances, most going on 11-12 years aged and some not as well as others.

Bought three Samsung pieces, a Three Door fridge upstairs, later a side by side for down stairs and dishwasher. Trouble with three door fridge started around year six with upper door ice maker. Would freeze up as if seals not holding and humid air entering cube forming area. Ended up after several ‘fixes’ as well a full replacement cube maker, eliminated water supply to that and shut it off.
Next up had water hit floor over night at around 8 years, made certain ice maker water was disconnected dealt with cleaning the accumulating water for last couple years just under quarterly, then became monthly.   Door seal surfaces are now noted as not sealing well, allows home air inside even as doors are closed, condenses water as well makes more as open and access fridge every day. Crappy to no drain systems and no way to install additional over freezer zone.   So back to appliance sales, had this piece of work hauled off, replaced with a more basic SxS. Is a median zone type item, not absolutely bargain basement and not a couple grand top of line, made by Hisense, will see how it fares, so far was cooled from first plug in to compressor stop in less than 7 hours, already made a few cups of ice in freezer, still has a water dispenser wife cannot be without. Just over 1 cu ft less internal space yet seems easier to organize than French Door three door was.

well, knock on head, the LG french door fridge was new in 2000, still works though I replaced the ice maker before amerchin19 came to town. Doors don't close properly,now. Close the right, left pops open a bit and vice versa.
I HATE the 'french door' design. Always have to open both to get anything out. Freezer in the bottoms a pain in the 'lower back'.

Now for anyone who wants to be a millionaire.... design/build/sell a 'good old fridge'  ONE door for food, TOP one for freezer section. Then have 'computer' do 'frost free cycle' at 2 AM, when electrons are cheap(er) !
