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.


it pays to be accurate... people that give loopy advice are mostly
just ignorant.
Not too many lie about such a thing, he had nothing to gain.
