that Frigidaire is the best brand. Of course it was by an independent appliance retailer. I have a Gibson, 28 years, that was made by Frigidaire. I plan to replace it very soon with a ............. Frigidaire!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigidaire

Frigidaire was the original fridge in 1916. "From 1919 to 1979, the company was owned by General Motors. During that period, it was first a subsidiary of Delco-Light[10] and was later an independent division based in Dayton, Ohio. The division also manufactured air conditioning compressors for GM cars. While the company was owned by General Motors, its logo featured the phrase "Product of General Motors", and later renamed to "Home Environment Division of General Motors".

Frigidaire was sold to the White Consolidated Industries in 1979, which in 1986 was purchased by Electrolux, its current parent. "

Anything made by Electrolux in my experience is top-notch. Like every other industry, history is a series of conglomerations and takeovers. They bought White Consolidated, which had various brand names. For awhile they owned Husqvarna, another top shelf brand. A corporation that is buying and selling divisions, fixing systems, tech, distribution, is a vibrant enterprise.
