Refrigerator--Repair or Replace
I would like some thoughts on this please. Our current refrigerator is a Maytag and is 10 years old. It still works great, but the it has a small leak that is ruining our hardwood floors. It needs to be repaired or replaced.
The service person today said it needs a new defroster thermostate which will cost $342.00 to fix. Or for about $1200.00 I can go ahead and buy a brand new refrigerator. This new refrigerator would be stainless steel to match the dishwasher we already had to replace.
I am leaning to just buy the new one. I just don't know how much longer the current one will last, although the one in my moms house is over 20 years old and still works great.
Also, the ice maker works intermentitly. This I could live with, but not the leak.
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks,
