They had to cover the part for over 5 for their own branded refrigerators up to 10 years by court order, but not labor for over 5.

They knew for more than 15 years that their compressors and design were faulty. They just kept producing them and began making them for Kenmore and someone else, knowing that many would fail.

It was the proprietary design with a fully enclosed system that caused the outrageous costs. Any other design or compressor would be much cheaper and easier to fix.

Our current one is a GE also stainless steel, with French doors, bottom freezer, and wicked large, BUT it is not an enclosed system. It is also not a proprietary system so can use any parts that fit. It should considering how expensive the damn thing was during Covid.
