After 27 years our fridge died. ARGHHH
We have had our fridge for 27 years, and it has been flawless. The ice maker worked perfect. The freezer froze and the fridge was cold.
Last night the compressor quit running. It still has a charge, but wither it is the start up capacitor or the compressor. I have never silver soldered copper AC lines. A new compressor kit comes with the start up capacitor, and of course the compressor.
And of course, it dies on Saturday right before a three day weekend.
I may just order the start up capacitor for $48 bucks and throw that part at it. The compressor kit is $340 plus shipping.
The fridge is a 34 cubic foot, freezer on top model in textured white. The rest of the kitchen is white, and neither my wife o I want stainless steel. So ordering a new fridge in about the same configuration is $900, and will be mid September before it arrives.
I know the new fridge will not last 27 years, but I doubt I will make it that long either.
