I have had my side-by-side Jenn Air Refrigerator for about 7-8 years. This is the third time that I have had to throw away all of the food because the refrigerator stopped cooling. What a miserable product. Instead of having it repaired and wasting another hundred or two hundred dollars I decided to purchase a new one. The prices are sky high. The salesman tried to sell me an extended warranty by saying these aren't made to last! I thought that a new one without the water and ice making features might be less likely to malfunction--but silly me --they charge 300- 400 dollars more for models without these features! Not to mention the filters! On my present model they recommended a new filter every year. On the new models they say the filters are good for 5 months-- at 50 dollars a pop! The next surprise was that they will not connect the water if it is flexible tubing. I will have to have copper tubing installed--or my house won't pass inspection!! The US has always had the best water in the world right out of our faucets!! I think these manufacturers have learned nothing from the rise of the foreign car market in the US... I am going to look elsewhere. Thekla Fall
