I had a fridge slowly die on me. Previously I had hand-picked an amazing set of washer and dryers that I'm sure will last me decades. Then I searched for the perfect induction stove. Then a microwave with convection heating. I paid more than average for these appliances because I wanted them to last for a long time, and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. So when it came time to buy a new fridge, I could not find a "premium" model. They all capped in price unless I bought a fridge larger than the standard size. I ended up buying a similar model to the previous, this time with a five year warranty. I'm confident it will die out soon, probably right after the warranty expires. Maybe because of the fact that it's running 24/7?

In short, I don't like shopping for fridges, and I'm glad fewer Angelinos will have to.

Fridges are really easy to repair and it is not as if we have made breakthroughs in compressor and insulation technology in last 15 years. You could probably jury rig control board from esp32 and weekend of coding - i mean it is couple of thermocouples and pid or bang bang algorithm.

Man, I can't wait to get to the point where I can call anything electrical "easy".
