63Manufacturers ONLY want to sell new boxes and make money. parts is a
necessary evil.

recently my ice maker quit working. I wasnt sure might be soleniod,
might be iunside freezer part. The entire ice maker kit with solenoid
and freezer part gearbox etc 79 bucks

solenoid 49 bucks

needless to say I bought the kit, and put the spare parts in the attic.


the good news is the new parts might be better designed, and last
longer

I fix office machines for a living, what your describing is SOP
