The labels in the interior say it was made in China.
I managed to check my warranty claim a few minutes ago. The website shows it as active, and my claim was approved on January 13th.
My first efforts to make a claim ran into problems. Apparently, the model number on the sticker is not correct, so coverage was denied twice because that model isn't covered by the warranty? I have not done anything to the interior stickers. They were on the interior wall of the fridge when it was delivered.
I'm so angry. Three months is not reasonable to wait for repair or replacement! I'm spending a good deal of money buying bags of ice because I am keeping my food in coolers outside my back door. Now that spring is coming on, the outside temperatures are warming up, so I have to buy ice more often. And I have to go up and down a few stairs every time I need to fix a meal.
The 5 year extended warranty is supposed to cover repairs or replacement of the fridge, and some compensation for food lost to spoilage.
Other than 2 visits from the repairman, I haven't been compensated for anything.
I will never buy anything from Lowes ever again.
I will buy appliances from a local appliance company. They are one of the last locally owned appliance companies in my town that haven't been swallowed up by damn chains.
I will also place a complaint with The Better Business Bureau. Going over 3 months without a functioning refrigerator is ridiculous!
Also, next time I won't bother with buying the extended warranty. Like too many forms of insurance, it seems to be a scam. I will save my money, so that I have enough put away in savings so I can buy a replacement fridge and compensate myself for any food lost to spoilage. I purchased the warranty because most of the reviews I read online said that the new refrigerators only last about 2 years, since most of them are made in China. Mine lasted 2 years and a couple of months after it was delivered.
According to my web searches, the only company still making refrigerators in the US is Whirlpool ( they bought out the old Maytag company). If I can manage to afford a Whirlpool, I will buy one of those ( and keep my fingers crossed).
