Title: Our fridge bought the farm...
Post by: Frood on October 10, 2021, 02:38:06 PM
The freezer portion is limping along....



It was bought new through my work 12 years ago and required no service ever since. Had to convince my wife it was not worth fixing now... probably just a relay switch or fan....but the call put is the same as a new fridge.





This time around we got a flip lid deep freezer.





We're going to use a 40 litre camp fridge for butter, eggs, milk, juice, and the odd leftovers..

 

We have so many power outages here each year, the fridge seems worthless. I'm tired of it... I'd rather keep stuff deep froze and run a small fridge on a battery. The freezer can be run with a small generator an hour or two each day.



Our house is beginning to look like a campsite... just saying... all that's left is for me to stake a few tarps to collect rain water...





Fuck the Victorian government here in Oz...

You had a good refrigerator Dinky..



Our main fridge is nine years old.......my husband has repaired it twice.

It was a fantastic unit.... got it for 40 percent off through an old workplace... I think it was close to 780 bucks AUD (roughly the same in CAD)...that was in 2009 or 2010.



I could have gone back there because I left on good terms and I still know people who could escort me to the onsight shop, but we couldn't wait for 1-2 weeks for refrigeration....particularly a freezing unit. Meat is meatz! ac_biggrin

Fridges don't last as long as they used to.

Nothing lasts long unless you pay for it.... we're using a 40 litre Engel camp fridge we bought 6 years ago to freeze ice packs and water bottles to transfer to a small cooler to keep some cheeses and cured meats safe to eat in the coming days... we would have used it as a fridge but it was mostly full of frozen meatz already... lulz

Lol, be grateful Dinky you don't have to put up with this.  Despite growing up in a wealthy family, my mom was a hoarder until we threw all her crap out of the house while she was away in Hong Kong, otherwise every time we threw some of her stuff each week during garbage day, she needs to bring the trash bags back into the house to see what was thrown, most of the time she ends up keeping 90% of the stuff aside from the rotten/black/green pile of mold from the fridge.  :sdfjh(2):

That's not what Maytag/Whirlpool and GE/Frigidaire are claiming...



Seriously though, my appliance repair guy (family friend) has told me not to get rid of my old Maytag fridge and washer (both about 25 years old). He said all the new stuff is high dollar garbage (cheap parts) and usually fails in a few years. At least he can still get parts for both of mine fairly cheap and he gives a big break for cash. He gave me an invoice for $250 more than he charged to turn in for insurance from the lightning strike that damaged it.
