This seems to be a trend around this house. BTW we are all electric. The heat pump quit on a hot Sunday 4 years ago. The contactor exploded. Nothing left but a few scraps of plastic on the roof. Under warranty...Still a rather warm two days as I'm in Arizona. The stove conked out on the might before Thanksgiving three years ago and guests were due about 4PM the next day. Find one suitable, get the old one out and new one in and cook! The water heater conked out last year on a Saturday night. I had an important meeting on Monday AM. Cold shower yikes. This past Saturday late PM we discovered the refrigerator was not keeping stuff cold on one side. I tried everything in the manual...no go. I stuck my hand in the vent going from high side to the low side and found ice. Not good in a frost free unit. Tried to recycle the defrost...no go. I figured if it was broke then there was no harm in removing the inside panel. The entire area was all ice. Clearly there was no defrost happening. Manually thawed it out and turned it back on...Ok for the moment but I see some costly parts (like the control module) in the wind. Dubious if worth the cost as the box is a 20 year old Kenmore side by side. More to follow. I am beginning to worry about weekends and holidays.
