Jenn Air Refrigerator

I have had my side-by-side Jenn Air Refrigerator for about 7-8 years.

This is the third time that I have had to throw away all of the food

because the refrigerator stopped cooling. What a miserable product.

Instead of having it repaired and wasting another hundred or two

hundred dollars I decided to purchase a new one. The prices are sky

high. The salesman tried to sell me an extended warranty by saying

these aren't made to last! I thought that a new one without the water

and ice making features might be less likely to malfunction--but silly

me --they charge 300- 400 dollars more for models without these

features! Not to mention the filters! On my present model they

recommended a new filter every year. On the new models they say the

filters are good for 5 months-- at 50 dollars a pop! The next

surprise was that they will not connect the water if it is flexible

tubing. I will have to have copper tubing installed--or my house won't

pass inspection!! The US has always had the best water in the world

right out of our faucets!! I think these manufacturers have learned

nothing from the rise of the foreign car market in the US...I am going

to look elsewhere.
