The Fridge Saga




The top fridge we bought when we moved into this house about 3.5 years ago. Within weeks I was calling the manufacture to come and do service on it. They ended up completely replacing the computer sensors. It wasn't too much longer before the ice machine stopped working. Brandon tried everything he could do to repair it, but it would not work and more time passed as we tried to decide if we should fork out hundreds to replace whatever was broken. I finally decided to pull out the documentation and discovered we had a 5 year warranty so we called and got a repair man to come
out and look at it.

We found out that the ice machine had a problem where it was freezing the entire left back side of the fridge....so when we pulled out the fridge there was condensation running down the fridge down to the floor. Weeks later the part was here and then a few weeks later they finally replaced it. Sadly that didn't work so weeks and weeks later we were finally able to negotiate a new fridge. Regrettably it wasn't a straight trade and it still cost us a couple hundred dollars to buy, which was upsetting to me. However, it is nice to have a working fridge again after a very long time. There are only two things I really hate. First, the water dispenser will not work when the fridge door is open. Second, the freezer drawers feel cheap and flimsy. But I insisted on purchasing a 5 year warranty on this fridge too. Hopefully we will never need to use it. The new fridge is also about 2 cubit feet smaller then the old one.
