Our fridge is from 1999, had to replace the thermostat last year, with regular care and cleaning, will run forever. Not getting new ones with smaller compressors and more sensors and electronics that fail faster. Also, keep your fridge on a surge protector. And any other electronic devices/appliances that are very important to you.

Good advice: We know a younger guy, who calls us Mom and Dad and isn’t a relative. He and his peer group have spent a fortune on appliances bought from a former big mall store, and their appliances lasted barely 3 years.

With the power failures in N. Cali land, we have circuit breaker extension plug ins connected to every electric using unit/appliance in our home.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY A WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTOR.

NOT THAT EXPENSIVE. TALK TO GOOD ELECTRICIAN

ESPECIALLY since new washers/dryers cannot just replace parts. The WHOLE Panel needs changing-—IF you find THAT.

SURGE PROTECTOR HELPS THAT
