Looking for a new fridge

[ay221]

Currently I have a side-by-side Kenmore cold spot. The only problem I ever had with it was a couple of times water didn't want to come out of the dispenser. I rigged my vacuum cleaner to cleanly help suck on the water dispenser and that did the trick. Been some years since I had that problem now.

I bought new appliances and now I'm looking for a stainless steel fridge.
I read all these problems on the board and wonder if I should just get a simple refrigerator to avoid future problems.

Two totally different models are

Kenmore 19.0 cu. ft Top Freezer with internal water
<small> Item# <!-- mp_trans_disable_start --> 04679013000 | <!-- mp_trans_disable_end --> Model# <!-- mp_trans_disable_start --> 7901 </small>
Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

Kenmore Elite 23.3 Side By Side
<small> <!-- mp_trans_disable_end --> Model# <!-- mp_trans_disable_start --> 5137, </small><small>Item# <!-- mp_trans_disable_start --> 04651373000</small><small> </small>

And then one cheaper with just an ice maker and no led lights, but great energy efficiency.
Frigidaire 20.5 cu. ft. Top Freezer
Model #:LGUI2149LF

I kind of like the side by side, but if I get fewer problems I might go with the top freezers. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

The first 2 you listed are Kenmore made by LG, Which I don't recommend, to many problems.

The 3rd one Frigidaire is much better with fewer problems.

Now have you checked the Whirlpool ones?

They have the least problems of them all.

Thanks. I will look into the whirlpool ones. I wish there was an easy way to determine who the manufacturer is of a Kenmore appliance by looking online. My current refrigerator is a Kenmore made by Whirlpool.
