Should You Have a Spare Fridge or Freezer?
This is a great time to recommend keeping a secondary fridge or freezer for when, not if, your new fridge stops working. If I had a nickel for every homeowner who wished they kept their old fridge, I could retire. Many clients are still surprised when their 2-5 year old shiny new fridge stopped cooling, because their previous fridge lasted 25 years without a problem.
People ask me what fridge I have, as you might expect. I tell them I have a 1990 GE that has never needed a repair, and a 1984 Whirlpool which I inherited from my grandparents. I replaced the freezer fan in it around 2006, and is cooling in my garage as you read this. So let’s compare, my two older refrigerators which are over 33 years each with one repair total, versus, the average age fridge I service, less than 4 years.
