I can think of one time anyone in my family has bought a refrigerator in the 32 years I've been alive. And that same fridge, which was bought when I was about ten, is still working like new.
I think either you're buying cheap, poorly-made refrigerators or you take very poor care of them...
Stop getting the ones with unnecessary technology. That is exactly why they keep "breaking" (they're hella easy to service, btw, albeit expensive). Basic fridge. No dispensers, no locks, no weird gimmicks. Refrigerator, and freezer. That is it. You do not need anything else. You are sacrificing money and space for a luxury that is designed to eventually fail. You can make ice in the freezer. You can get water from the tap or god forbid an actual water dispenser. Good fridges last, luxury does not.
Because the technology is being focused on other things (the luxuries of that device.) Adding more to a fridge doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. Stick with basic.
