Worst Fridge ever !!
1
Update by user Oct 10, 2019 I had a repairman in and spent some cash ($270.00 so far) result was not satisfactory, repairman did say was a gamble before we did itl but since DANBY did not stand behind their product I took the gamble and lost. Original review posted by user Oct 09, 2019 Danby all-fridge model DAR170A2WDD 17 cu. FT. Purchased this refrigerator Sept-9th-2017 and it lasted until Sept-30-2019, just barley more than 2-years. Now to be fair the warranty is for 18-months but a good product should last more then 2-years. I was replacing a fridge that was over 23-years old and still running but needed a new door seal and other cosmetics so figured I would replace. AS I said started to act up end of Sept. a loud humming sound getting louder & louder, and I called the furniture store and they told me name of repairman. I called him in and he checked it over and said it sounds like compressor is going, replacement would be $750.00 minimum OR we could try recharching and it might last another 2-years. I had it recharged, the system was empty so is leaking away somewhere and it worked fine for about 2.5 days and started to hum again getting louder and louder. When I called Danby I got a rep on the line, a lady who started out nice and then got very rude as we went on and hung up on me when I asked for a manager. Apparently they don't like to be told that their products don't stand up. So now I need to purchase another fridge, spent $1200.00 CDN on a useless Danby pus cost of repairs and I wont ever purchase another Danby product again. In my opinion, if you decide to ever buy Danby better buy extended warranty and lots of it !!
