Are you ready for this?

The worlds most powerful refrigerator magnet in action. poor fridge;-(.

I guess that's why it had a few marks when I bought it.

It's much quieter. The other one bothered me for 8 years.

We had a ''everythings defrosting' emergency.'

Bought a new one.

Turns out it was not broken.

Got the new one.

Broke one of the shelves soon after it arrived.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Careful, they have single-use shelves, they're meant for Mario game mushrooms. You can break them with your head.

Oh blimey.

Don’t suppose you could use an old shelf in your shiny new fridge?

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Okay

You can have this fridge for $600....

Double that and then you get to the cheap ones...

Bought a fridge/freezer in america a few years back, saved a fortune by not having all the ice crushing,drink options in the doorway. Just something extra that's going to break.[/QUO

Ha. Our new $2000+ double French door, black stainless steel 'frig with large pullout freezer drawer makes about 3 ice cubes a day, as if people who live in the South never use ice. I have to stockpile ice in a plastic bag in the freezer every day to have enough on hand for cold drinks. Won't do that again!

What turned out to be wrong with your old one?

My old one was put in the house in 1992 and had been there since about 2015. It made a lot of noise but still always worked. They don't make them like they used to. There were 2 fridges on the side of the road in the neighborhood that year, which I brought home on my dolly cart. A 3 year old fridge with a totally dead compressor which I took for scrap. And a nice looking 4 year old fridge that just needed a defrost heater. Even that young, the part was discontinued. I did some research and found one with the same dimensions on Ebay. Soldered and heat shrank the wire connections of the dead heater onto the new heater and it worked great. I thought I'd save money due to a much lower amp draw than the old fridge, but the new fridge was bigger which offset any energy savings.

@tlc I wish I had those kinds of skills. That is awesome.

I guess your old fridge gave out. My question is what did it give out?
