Linear compressor went out in ours. Compressor parts warrantied for 10 years, but no labor warranty. Costs big bucks to get the parts installed, and from what I could tell in my research, the replacements are also going out. It's a flawed design and there have been a couple of class action lawsuits around it. I also had to replace the ice maker around year 2 and they had an updated part for that. I wasn't going to put another dime into it. Went from a 31 cubic ft. to a 25 cubic ft. Whirlpool and don't notice the difference. The space in the Whirlpool is much more efficient and useful.
Whirlpool owns Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, HotPoint, JennAir, Amana...and some others. An American company and made in 'Merica. Have also been quite happy with the Maytag washer and dryer that replaced an LG washer and dryer a few years ago.
Kenmore used to be Whirlpool for decades, but they switched to LG when Sears was beginning to suck wind.
