Haven’t built the house and lived there for two or three years, we sold it and moved into a townhome. The icemaker there stopped working and it was only seven years old. We bought the townhome a year ago and it’s still not fixed. Doesn’t bother me.

But, yesterday when I was making cereal, I open the fridge and it was not cold. I checked the temperature and it was right. I turn off the breaker, turned it back on and heard the fridge kick on. I’m afraid it’s days are numbered. Looking at new fridges, that easily start at $2500 on sale for one with ice and water in the door.

Why not just fix the one that you've got? There are websites that have troubleshooting guides as well as folks that will answer questions, and then you can buy parts from the same site or a sister site. I've done that 3-5 times over the last 20 years. The repairs have all been cheap (<$100) and easy (<1hr).
