Read the reviews on new refrigerators. It is really easy to spend $2,000 or more, and have a fridge that requires a $50 water filter every 3 months, and than the fridge dies completely in 5 years or less.

The energy efficiency of continuing to use a 24 year old unit is way outweighed by the cost of the new systems on the market.

Name a fridge made now that is made with real quality in mind, and will last 20+ years.
