My fridge died Saturday. It's 10 years old and not a scratch on it.
We ordered a new one. Hopefully the electric bill payback will be
worth it. I just couldn't see putting any money in it. We got the
bottom freezer drawer type which I've read is pretty economical
compared to the side by side models. I hope I didn't make a $900
mistake.
