Can consider Hisense or Haier

I'm currently using Hisense so far 4 months in still ok

Haier is the top brand for China branded fridge

If you prefer Jap brands like Hitachi or Sharp then need top up your budget

Chinese brand, other family members might not like it.

Samsung OK?

Samsung and LG both should be ok. Just avoid linear compressor for LG

Samsung give 20 years warranty for their compressor

If you noticed on LG website, all their latest fridge no longer use Linear compressor. Instead they revert back to more conventional 'Smart Inverter' compressor

Shouldnt they replace the parts for you, since there is a lawsuit on the said parts?

How old is the fridge?

Actually they already replaced it last time. The warranty only cover one replacement.

Age wise, I think around 5 years.

French door - freezer at bottom

Side by side - freezer at the left

This is the typical design all the while

If you want freezer at the top the only multi door fridge i know with that design is from Panasonic

Hitachi been serving me very well for pass 12 years. Zero problem and very low electricity consumption.
I also install a voltage regulator to safe guard the refrigerator from voltage fluctuation, which I think it serve the purpose for the reliability.

My 20-yr old samsung french door has freezer on the top.

From: nowhere

seems like old panasonic (National back then actually) Tanto fridge might have to go because of high consumption

so surveying 2dr top freezer, but seems like most of 2dr between 300-400 liter class, the lower compartment door got only 3 door pockets. my old tanto has 4 door pockets. seems like they deduct one door pockets by lifting up the big bottle pocket to make way for bigger vegetable box

any reputable brand within 300-400 liter, budget within 2k, preferably 4 star+ so can get save rm200 rebate, with below criteria:

lower door MUST have 4 (four) pockets
top freezer no need too big, but sufficient big
net capacity to raw capacity not so far away (so LG more likely)

some brands like mitsu,sharp, net capacity so low compared to raw capacity

Net capacity is the true size.

Expensive delivery. Not sure if they will push fridge inside your home.

Prefer to buy from shop... some shop is cheap when they have sales, free delivery and unbox everything, push into your allocated space.
