And the dishwasher needs a towel under the door when running since the door leaks.
If you've check and cleaned the float , take a look at the gasket on the door . See if it has hard water build up , or maybe a tear somewhere . Mine was doing the same ( different brand ) after I used vinegar on a rag to wipe down the door gasket it stopped .
The fridge doesn't have an ice maker, but the bottom drawer is supporting the two drawers above it. The bottom drawer can't be opened.
Are you talking about a deli drawer ? If so they have an issue of the evap drain freezing up , and dumping the water under the deli drawer . It freezes and the ice build up keeps the deli drawer from opening .
They sell an extended tab to go on the heater , and into the drain tube . Thing is you have to get it all thawed to install it .

Yeah, it's hard water buildup on the door seal. I'll clean it off, but it builds up after a few uses. I'm too lazy to clean it after every use, so I just lay a towel down when I run it.

And I guess it's called the deli drawer. But it's not ice, the plastic tabs that hold the bottom shelf broke, so the deli drawer is supporting the drawers and shelf above. I can open the deli drawer, but I have to lift the shelf up to do so. Some of the things on that shelf need to be removed before lifting it because the space between shelves. So I don't use that drawer anymore. Interestingly, the two drawers do open easily.

Over the years we have had pretty good luck with Whirlpool appliances, other than the clothes dryer. It gets noisy and needs belt and rollers about every five years.

I used to be an appliance technician. And was pretty hip on the pros and cons. But that was 23 years ago. I'm still savy on fixing them. But not on the quality side anymore.
THAT EXPERIENCE WILL REALLY PAY OFF WITH THE NEW RV STEVE! RV STUFF ALWAYS BREAKS WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THE ROAD AND DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS OR TIME NEEDED. ASK ME HOW I KNOW. RAY

I'm done with Samsung.
We remodeled our house in 2017 and bought all new Samsung appliances. I'm starting to see little things that make me think the end is near. Won't be anymore Samsung appliances in my future.

My MIL had a Hotpoint upright freezer they bought almost 40 years ago. That freezer is in our daughter's garage running just fine. I have a Kenmore chest freezer that's close to 30 years old and is still going strong...
 
My Frigidaire is about done sounds very... sick. Waiting to find s food deal on a Bosch but money is tight. I usually do the dishes so I'm save a little for a while to get it.
 
Well I'm hoping the GE Profile appliances are good. We got their washer and dryer a couple years ago got their dishwasher last year and got the fridge, range, and microwave this month. So hopefully they last awhile. Still trying to figure out the bells and whistles on the ones we got this month. I'm sure when something goes wrong with these it's a nightmare trying to fix them. Our other kitchen appliances were GE and the dishwasher lasted about 13 years with no trouble. The fridge was 15 years old and started having some leak problems some times quite sure it had to do with the ice making and delivering system but at 15 years decided to just replace them all
 
Yeah internal ice makers can become an issue. when we built our retirement home back in '21 I had an under the counter ice machine installed for the wife feed by the RO system. Loads of clear small ice cubes always available and the fridge is relegated to just supplying water at the door. Maker is turned off. Both are KitchenAid.

The condo I bought came with a brand new Bosch dishwasher, similar to the one pictured on page 2. I love this thing! It's so big, it takes me a week to fill it. And I can barely hear it running.
 
I was looking at that one at Costco. Would love to hear what you think of it. I think GE makes a similar model. You can IM me here.
Go to just about any RV forum. You'll see that they are not well regarded. Small loads. And extended run times to dry the clothes. Unless something changed.

This is the one I was looking at. I have limited space in my condo laundry room, and it seemed like a solution to replace the cheapo apartment w/d combo I have now. Not sure how ventless works, though.

Ventless means it pushes warm moist are back into the room. They dry slowly because of this. This is one of the ones that RVers talk about a lot. They don't want moist,warm air inside rv's. And the cycle takes up to 5 hours. Which consumes more energy. If you had a vented unit. Then one that vents would be a better idea. Though. They are still quite slow with loads. These are a good idea. Just not perfected yet.
