How Refrigerators are Made: Whirlpool Factory Tour - Did You Know?

[@jeromedavis8575]

I'd like to see whirlpool washers and dryers next. It would be interesting to see how they're made.

[@dregenius]

If you're talking about those godawful VMW top-load dinosaurs and their matching (but even worse) 61 year old top-lint dryers... It might be fun to watch a production line that hasn't changed at all since the early 1960s, but it would be depressing to think about how Whirlpool keeps putting more lipstick on those ancient pigs and charging premium prices for a washer that isn't fit for purpose (but then again, no top loader is, which is why you'll never find a top loader in a hospital, hotel or institutional laundry room lol) and a dryer that feels like it's make from metal roofind panels.

আমাকে খুব ভালো লেগেছে। অটোমেটিক মেশিন এতে সবকিছু হচ্ছিল। সেটগুলো যখন ব্যান্ড করা হচ্ছিল অসাধারণ অসাধারণ লাগছিল। আমি নিজে একজন রেফ্রিজারেটর মেকানিক। ইন্ডাস্ট্রি লেভেল এর কাজগুলো আমাকে দেখতে খুব ভালো লাগে। অনেক অনেক ধন্যবাদ আপনাদের।

Whirlpool makes the best refrigerators!

"You're probably going to have it in your kitchen for at least 20 years." As an appliance repair tech, lol. Lmao even.

Nice video, please continue.

[@everythingALGERIA]

what year this video is in 1990 ??

[@salvadorbernardino7558]

Excellent, we can also install service valves to be used for recovering refrigerant in the future to help control climate change and global warming so we can help protect our future generations.

20 YEARS !?!?

[@waitandhope]

Cool

[@al3xnoel]

20 yrs? In your dreams ! Do you hear about obsolete programed?

[@frankm5019]

lucky to get 10 years with the junk they are making today.

[@TapesNstuffS]

@@frankm5019 Got one over 15 years old, still works perfectly (knock on wood). Just avoid the cheapest chinese stuff and you should be fine.

[@tmeadows4565]

Thanks for showing the technology. Unfortunately, some of the product you turn out is garbage-my 80 year old mother’s new Whirlpool refrigerator failed after 9 months. Parts are on back-order, so she has had no refrigerator for approaching 2 months now. So apparently it is not convenient for Whirlpool to fix the product under warranty when they need those parts to make new appliances they can sell to unsuspecting new buyers. UPDATE: at the 2 month mark the same technician returned after the parts were supplied and successfully repaired the refrigerator. It has worked flawlessly since that time. In my opinion the Covid pandemic may have contributed to the delay.

[@kwaseb]

Wow, so they are saying when parts arrive, they would send technicians to come fix the fridge or what?

[@tmeadows4565]

@@kwaseb they sent a tech who diagnosed the problem and said the parts are on back-order

[@UltraHydrophobiccoat]

Nowadays Even new versions could be discontinued due to defective designs

[@teribiniecki4820]

This plant has been closed for about 20 years years. I wonder how they feel about that European equipment the plant purchased to build the American refrigerators now?

[@mist4926]

no insulation in doors????

[@spark300c]

there is Insulation in Doors. I work in Amana plant. The insulation is foam.

[@kirkerickson1591]

I wonder how many people actually know how to make a refrigerator from scratch And without the machines help

[@Moletlanyi]

Can you please provide the equipment models for the production machinery, The Salvagnini and the Omada

[@Hc89]

built in America this is why older fridges used to last. Now days Chinese crap breaks down after a yr

[@stickykitty]

I get you but American products can be just as crap 💩 It depends on the company practises and standards

[@jorndoff2002]

Korean even faster

[@MRAustismCFEpilepsy]

My recent purchase of $4k+ WHIRLPOOL refrigerator is inoperable and unfixable after only 2 years.

[@dirtyaznstyle4156]

Hmm automation has taken 2/3 of the jobs in the factory pretty much lol

[@kayrams1792]

Too machinery helps production output and profit but takeaway the fun and interest in manufacturing

who is here from VIT collage😂

[@Damral0SL]

Bhai, 😂😂

[@nadannehartwell8538]

Except when the product doesnt work. No technicians to help. They dont show up for appointments. Leaving me with a $800 paperweight that should be a refridgerator. Hours on hold trying to get a hold of customer service who cant help you at all! so disappointing. will never buy again!

[@y.g.1313]

my god, seems that each of the workers there nearly morbidly obese.. what a a tragedy..

[@dadosamac]

Whirlpool is like a booth camp. Treatment there is absolutely horrific. No humanity in management at all

[@udj666]

20 years😂 whirlpool is trash and will be lucky to last 5

[@udj666]

I take that back. It’s an old video and a model that would probably last 20 years.
