Need advice on purchasing a new refrigerator

Hey guys. Our refrigerator of 10 years recently stopped working as the compressor has gone kaput. It'd cost 10K to fix it but it probably isn't worth it since we paid upwards of 5K to fix it last year alone (other issues.) We are looking for a 350ltr capacity under 30K. Main requirements are durability and good customer service. Any suggestions? Will mostly be looking to buy it offline but if there are good deals, then yes, online as well.

Thanks and have a lovely day! :)

we got samsung convertible freezer for 33k 4yrs back working good. so far.. one caveat though only 2 settings to convert freezer into fridge mode and back.. no way to turn off entire section.. that feature is in their higher end models 50k upwards..

also we note if you put vegitables far backside of compartements sometimes they go black.. i dont have clue why or its just my unit.

but overall good fridge.

Compressor change shouldn't cost 10k. Compressor should be around 3k and then charges for gas and technician. Have you tried getting a quote from a third-party technician.

It was a third party technician. Plus, another thing to add was that the pipes were pretty bad as well.
