This house had a 1980's Hotpoint which lasted til 2000. We now have a GE and its been repaired twice. Once the icemaker broke down and the second time the defrost heater went crazy and almost caught fire. (!) This was one of their most expensive fridges back then, too.
And the Range....well we have the matching white GE stove and microwave. It replaced one of those monstrous combo units from the 70s...think it was a Tappan. I recall putting the old units' fluorescent light on every night for years and years. The GE's fluorescent went in 3 years, no shit. I ordered a replacement bulb, but no its actually the 'starter circuit' which fried, now the light just blinks on and off constantly.
Again, this wasn't a cheap range.
