I went to sears to purchase a Kenmore side by side. It broke recently and I was told that it was just a rebranded LG.
Yep. We bought our LG refridgerator at Sears. And we looked at the Kenmore brands. Also built by LG.
I’m sorry yours broke recently. Our LG is great! For now.
Maybe your LG Kenmore is like the Maytag Washer we bought at Wards years and years ago.
Mrs R2 wanted a Maytag Washer. So we gets one. At Moneky Wards. Less than a year later it broke. We called Wards. They said call Maytag. Maytag said call Wards. Blah, blah, blah.
Turns out it was a Maytag built just for Wards and as such... it was not the real deal with the quality Maytags were known for.
I grew up on Sears appliances, and for my 1st 30 years as an adult bought Kenmore. 6 years ago I purchased a side-by-side at Costco. After 5 years the freezer kept going out; however, Costco took it back, no questions asked. Gave us cash back to boot & we didn’t have the receipt. I doubt Sears would have even talked to us unless we had the extended warranty. Even then, we wouldn’t have gotten cash back. I know Costco is a liberal’s dream in terms of donations. But I have very limited funds & I will spend where I can get the best, biggest bang for my buck.
Kenmore was largely whirlpool for years. A ton of the Sears brands have been private labels for years and years.
