It the thing's so good why are you having problems so soon
with it?

I can't speak for the original poster but mine is well over 10 years
old and has had only minor repairs = 2 timers (and defrost thermostats
that it probably didn't really need, I just changed out all controls
except the thermostat, which is working fine). I'd gladly toss mine a
compressor. I'd forgotten just how expensive it was until the timer
quit a couple of months ago, I thought of just replacing it. I went
shopping and found what I could get for $2k was crap compared to what I
had. $35 later it is purring like a kitten.

Maybe I'm still smarting from my oven. It quit, and a guy charged me $80 to
come and tell me it needed fixing. The fixing would cost $300. He said it
needed a couple of fuses. I have a friend coming today who is competent in
a lot of areas. We are going to pull the oven and see if it is just a
couple of fuses that they want $300 for or not.

It is difficult these days to get a guy to show up, do the work, and not
work you over. Seems like a competent honest guy would have all kinds of
work. But I guess he wouldn't make double what the ones do who are
dishonest.
