Haier 10.7 cu fu fridge.installation

I installed a Haier fridge from Lowes and after one year the compressor froze up. Because it was installed in an RV the warranty was no good so the lady at Haier told me...sooo Im stuck with a fridge that don't work...Called Whirlpool and they said if I install a whirlpool in an RV it doesn't void the one year warranty..They told me to check with HD and see if it will void an extended warranty ,I did and I am waiting their reply...If you are looking to install a home style fridge I advise you to read the testimonials on a Haier before you purchase it.. They have very bad testimonials. I should have done this before I shopped . I learned a very hard lesson, the salesman at Lowes told they had very little problem with the Haier brand. But he was wrong and Im out 350.00 bucks.>>>>>> A call back from HD said the extended warrenty will cover the fridge for 3 years so I purchased it ,,totla cost $514.00 including a 3 year warrenty..The whirlpool should fit where the haier went with just a small mod..I love changing fridge's:).
  • Are these refrigerators electric and propane? Didn't know Lowe's or other hardware stores sold units for RV's?
  • When I was researching residential fridges. Haier was off the list because the owners manual stated that warranty was voided if installed in a recreational vehicle.

    this is a home style fridg.It runs on 120V only,
  • Get another fridge of a different brand. That brand is junk. Get a warranty (or a used fridge). Glad it wasn't an RV fridge that went out or you'd be back $1500.
  • You should have dragged into the house before you called.

    We are on our second Frigidaire only because Mary saw this one and then said much she did not like what we had.
