"Refridgerator compressor has to be changed"
The Maytag died yesterday.
It was 3 years old. It cost $850.
The 1 year factory warentee had expired and I didn't buy an extended.
Apparently, a small discharge tube from the compressor which dips through a water catch pan rotted and/or broke. The pan was filled with a green film(copper oxydation I assume), and there was oil all over the lines.
Cost to repair: $740.
The repairman said the $330 compressor has to be replaced because it's a sealed system and water has contaminated it. It can't be flushed and reused.
Is this accurate?
