Whirlpool vs. GE Refrigerator: Which Is More Reliable?

Both Whirlpool and GE make solid residential refrigerators, but they fail in different ways. From our experience repairing both brands in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow, here's what homeowners should know.

Whirlpool tends to have simpler electronics and fewer control board failures. GE Profile and Cafe models have more features but more electronic complexity. Both brands have similar repair costs ($150–$400 for most common issues).

Neither brand is significantly more reliable than the other — the specific model matters more than the brand name. Call (703) 525-3522 for repair of either brand.
