My mother-in-law purchased her refrigerator a year ago before it stopped working. Warranty or not, a refrigerator should last more than one year. My mother-in-law is on a fixed income and can't afford to put out over a 2,000 dollars for a refrigerator. I have several rental properties and we always need appliances but frigidaire will not be an option for us. Also on consumer affairs frigidaire only got 3 stars.
