The fridges were all bought in July of 2000, so I expect the warranty on
the sealed system would have expired by now.

But, I'll ask just to be sure.




The owners manuals I've read over the years, typically
five years warranty on "sealed system".


No longer on most.

From the $2000 Frigidaire manual
Your appliance is covered by a one year limited warranty. For one year
from your original date of
purchase, Electrolux will pay all costs for repairing or replacing any
parts of this appliance that prove
to be defective in materials or workmanship when such appliance is
installed, used and maintained
in accordance with the provided instructions.

Maybe if you spent more, say a $3000 Whirpool. Nope.

For one year from the date of purchase, when this major appliance is
operated and maintained according to instructions attached to or
furnished with the product, Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP
(hereafter “Whirlpool”) will pay for Factory Specified Parts
and repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship that
existed when this major appliance was purchased. Service must be
provided by a Whirlpool designated service company. YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
SHALL BE PRODUCT REPAIR AS PROVIDED HEREIN. This limited warranty is
valid only in the United States or Canada and applies
only when the major appliance is used in the country in which it was
purchased. Proof of original purchase date is required to obtain
service under this limited warranty.
