Replacement for Whirlpool Refrigerator

I had another post. But, I couldn't figure how to add pictures.

The repair man said the problem is "a short frost pattern".* The 3 year old refrigerator in our 2014 open road 31 SA has to be replaced.*

I'm extremely disappointed since we only use our motorhome 5 months out of the year. Any suggestions on replacement? Definitely not a Whirlpool. We have an extended warranty. I will see how well they respond.

One more question. How do they get this refrigerator out of the motorhome?

The drivers side window has to come out to get the refrigerator in and out. I have seen a couple of them do this at Tiffin service center.

Boggsac, if you get a chance, could you post the model number of your Whirlpool fridge? We also have a Whirlpool and I'm wondering if it is something we should look forward to.

Hello,
I have a 2014 Phaeton that came with a Maytag refridgerator. The compressor went out at 13 months. I have a extended warranty so I had a new compressor put in and only paid $100.00 that time. It worked fine for about a year and a half and the compressor went out again. I just happened to be at the Tiffin repair center at the time. I had them to put a new fridge in. Again the extended warranty paid. There is people in Red Bay that can put a new one in pretty easy. They take the Driver side window out and take it out and put it back in through that. I hope this helps. The Maytag is made by Whirlpool and they are the same fridge.

We are in Alaska. A bit of a drive to Red Bay. We do have an extended warranty. I'm trying to figure out which fridge to buy. Where both of your refrigerators Maytag? Have you had any problems? How long has it been since the last replacement?

Don't these Whirlpool refrigerators have 10 year warranties? I see the sticker on the front of these units.
