Demand rose during to 1200 per person ,and supplies had reduced due to labor output.

I had to give up top 2 korean manufacturers (lg and samsung) and went with Amana. I had to manually pickup washer all the way at the Arvada and wait 10 days for dryer there.

Thank your lucky star that you couldn't get LG. After the disastrously mess of warranty repair that I am still in the middle of with LG, I will NEVER buy another LG appliance again. Our LG fridge picked a bad time to quit with the appliance shortage, getting ours repaired was the best option, but LG couldn't seem to get their "authorization letter" sent to MR. Appliance so that they could even order the parts. After 6 weeks of empty promises from LG, I finally told Mr. Appliance to come fix it. Now I'm going on a month waiting for LG to refund us for the parts that were covered under warranty. A fickin' mess....LG NO MORE!!!

My LG fridge quit. Stupid Linear compressor that was supposed to be more efficient died. They're failing all over the place due to a design problem, but the replacements have the same problem. They replace the parts under warranty but the repair was going to cost me $600 in labor with no assurance it wouldn't happen again. Bought a Whirlpool fridge instead for $1200 that was made here in the US and we couldn't be happier.

LG and Samsung used to be top notch, but I won't buy them again.

Both Samsung and LG uses six sigma. I guess they are now using three sigma now for their defective rate on a durables.

How old were these?

Ours is going on 2 years and still seems OK. Repair guy I talked to before buying said the new compressor redesign wasn't seeing the same failure rate the old one did. Same guy said pass on Samsung as they can't get parts.

I don't usually get them, but got a 5 year extra warranty from HD when we bought the fridge. Then LG extended the compressor warranty (parts only?) to 10 years. DW has been repaired twice now. Faulty (redesigned) door latch/sensor, and failed water tube to upper deck. Range repaired once for a broken (plastic) oven knob shaft.

Our 20 year old Kenmore/Whirlpool is still doing duty as the beer fridge.

Our fridge was coming up on 6 years, and yes it had the "Linear" compressor that the owner of Mr. Appliance described as being "nothing more than good as a boat anchor." The newer compressor isn't the same compressor as it's a known issue for LG. We had to buy a new PCB/power control board also and apparently this new system runs on a variable speed control and ramps up and down, instead of OFF or ON. Time will tell if it lasts any longer.
One of my wife's close girl friends also had her LG fridge quit at about the same time ours did, also with the Linear compressor. Weird thing is she got warranty service completed in less then 2 weeks, where we couldn't even get an "authorization letter" from LG so that Mr. Appliance could order the parts.
