This is an entire rant of mine. I've seen several people, and former workplaces, buy new, shiny fridges (Maytag, Kenmore, etc) that turned to complete crap in very short order--Just out of warranty of course.
At a former workplace they bought something (Krapmore?), and they were dumb enough to buy it at Sears. Immediately after warranty the gasket/seal started sagging. They had to pay some asshole $300 to come out and replace it.
My in-laws bought a Maytag a few years ago, and it has been an umitigated DISASTER. One day we were over visiting, my mother-in-law opened the fridge door, and it FELL OFF. The freakin' door fell off!! They could have waited weeks for someone to come out, but decided to bite the bullet and have an independent repair guy come out. The inside lights burn out all the time (I'm guessing some proprietary crap that costs 50$ a pop), there has been no end of trouble with the ice machine and water filters, leaking water on the floor, computer chips burning out--an absolute JOKE!
The new "smart" refrigerators will spy on you like never before. The day will come when they will alert your health insurer about what you're eating so they can screw you over in real time. (Assuming we have any health insurance--or a country--in a few years.)
My advice--find a basic-as-shite fridge made in the 70s or 80s. They were horribly energy inefficient, but by god they were built to last forever.
