The alternative it to get one that is intended to be repairable, my
old Monagram, has the compressor on a roll out shelf at the top. I
really don't know how old it is, but all it has asked for is a timer,
& while I was in there I changed the sensors for the defrost. Online,
the parts were less than $100. Cold Spot and others make a premium
box, & prices are outrageous new, but you can often pick them up used
at a decent price and they last forever.
