Guess who had to buy a new refrigerator?

That’s right, me.

Yep, to fix the 11 year old one cost more than buying a new one.

So, I’m getting a smaller version of the back porch one for the kitchen.

At least we had an honest repairman (not connected with any of the appliance stores) who recommended we buy another one rather than spend the money to fix it.The Curmudgeon was all for repairing it.

The new compressor would cost us almost as much with labor as a new fridge. Also, he asked for a flashlight to check on something else. He spotted another, even more expensive, ‘soon to be a problem’ problem, and showed it to me. The cost to fix that would be over a grand and he was sure it would need to be done within a few months.

The Curmudgeon finally agreed with me that buying one would be more cost effective in the long run.
