Frigidaire appliances = junk

[Drew Denham]

So I bought a BRAND NEW refrigerator from ABC Warehouse (w/ 5 year warranty), it crapped out and ruined my tenants food (2 months after the purchase) ABC fixed a part, and 2 months later the fridge stopped cooling again (on a appliance less than 6 months old). ABC and Frigidaire are very resistant to replacing the appliance and said that I bought a repair, not a replacement warranty. I knocked $100 off rent for my tenant because she has always paid on time. 

So I wanted to ask if anyone has a similar type of problem and what they did? 

Also, what brand do you buy for appliances? I bought brand new because i'm an out of town investor and I wanted to avoid any appliance related tenant call.... 

In another rental I had a $800 Whirlpool refrigerator and 5-6 years later it broke beyond repair (also an ABC Warehouse purchase). They sure don't make appliances like they used to. 

Thanks all.

I own an appliance repair and sales store and I can tell you first hand Frigidaire are crap. Also, stay away from LG and Samsung as well. They are horribly made and have tons of issues. Best appliances to buy are whirlpools, kitchenaids, maytags and Amanas which are all made by whirlpool.

Side note: I sell used appliance as well and went to an appliance yard to check out what they had and it was 3 acres of Samsung and lg appliances that all crapped out. Basically a graveyard of crappy appliances and some of these appliances looked great but were way to expensive to fix or parts were no longer available. Stay away! You've been warned!
