Frigidaire appliances = junk

So I bought a BRAND NEW refrigerator from ABC Warehouse (w/ 5 year warranty), it crapped out and ruined my tenants food (2 months after the purchase) ABC fixed a part, and 2 months later the fridge stopped cooling again (on a appliance less than 6 months old). ABC and Frigidaire are very resistant to replacing the appliance and said that I bought a repair, not a replacement warranty. I knocked $100 off rent for my tenant because she has always paid on time. 

So I wanted to ask if anyone has a similar type of problem and what they did? 

Also, what brand do you buy for appliances? I bought brand new because i'm an out of town investor and I wanted to avoid any appliance related tenant call.... 

In another rental I had a $800 Whirlpool refrigerator and 5-6 years later it broke beyond repair (also an ABC Warehouse purchase). They sure don't make appliances like they used to. 

Thanks all.
