Not sure if this is the right forum for this subject, but here goes anyway.
This past week, our frig finally gave out running on electric. It was a switch cog and would have cost over $600 with labour etc. to fix. 3 years ago we had to replace a thermostat.
That said, we decided, rather than repair yet again, and how long before something else went on the old frig (1992) we bit the bullet and bought a new one. We were happy with the installed price - much better than what we expected. It has a two year warranty.
