I plan on keeping mine until it quits. My other appliances are ge except my microwave cause I bought that years ago and it still works. As my appliances quit I'll replace with whirlpool so they all match. I'm so crazy about my whirlpool that when I move I'm taking it with me.:)

Actually, if you discover it did die, keep everything closed. Don't open unless you really need to. The stuff will keep for a few days, long enough to replace it. That is the info we get during hurricane season when we might loose power. If your frozen stuff thaws, it can be refrozen if it still has crystals in it. If not, cook and use.

We had our house built in 1978. I would love for our stove to go out! It is avacado green. The dishwasher and refridge finally did. But we still have the avacado counter tops and sink. I don't think those can break. Sometimes my spirit does though. I can't get my husband to realize that it is unsellable as it is. Not that we are selling it. We own it and I don't want another mortgage. But at some point our kids will have to sell it when we die
