There isn't a lot of consistency in any product line anymore. We have a GE refrigerator We have had ever since we first got married. When we remodeled the kitchen I moved it to what will be the garage and it works great even after being moved to other houses and here other rooms. It gets hot in there in the summer so I thought that it wouldn't last because it would have to work harder to stay cool, but it's still going strong. So that made me buy all GE this time because when everything else had troubles the fridge stood up.
My parents have a GE fridge they bought when I was 3 years old. It's in their laundry room now but still works. It's one of those kinds you have to defrost and every so often. They do that and it just keeps going.
I guess any company can have something go wrong once in a while though.
