Hello.
Remember your first refrigerator?
Refrigerators were first converted ice boxes, and some of them are still in use to this day, the compressor and condenser was on top of the unit, a round affair on some models.
Next was the purpose built refrigerator, with the compressor in the bottom and condenser in the back, a flat top with sometimes an outlet for a radio, or even the radio as a package deal.
Frost-free would not come until much later.
But very few refrigerators were replaced because they did not work.
Nearly all were replaced for style, kitchen remodeling.
This leaves us with another question, what is it with this remodeling?
My neighbors have a ten year kitchen remodel cycle.
This last one cost around $30 thousand.
I can understand a kitchen upgrade, but 30k?
And why always the kitchen?
Me? I need a TV dispensing refrigerator and slot type microwave oven and I am all set. ;)
