Default Refrigerator dies - try to fix or get a new one?

A Sears guy telling a lie? Imagine that!

refrig. The parts guy (Sears) says that anyone can replace the
compressor, that I can get a do-it-yourself guide for $15.

A new model would be around $600 and a big pain. Is replacing a
compressor so hard?


Your repair guy is a liar. Replacing the compressor is not a diy job.
You need a refrigerant recovery machine and tank, and epa license to
be messing with and/or purchasing refrigerant, a torch set to weld the
new compressor in, a vacum pump to pull the air out and some new
refrigerant to put back in. Good luck with all that.
