    Have you looked around online to see if you can fix it yourself? There are a few sites that help troubleshoot problems and you can buy the parts online or in town. Some of the appliance repair companies are major rip-offs. I replaced a $9 or so part (thermostat in the freezer) myself after a repair company wanted to charged me over $160. My ex was in a rush when her washer mashine stopped working and she paid some company to come out and fix it for $200. After I looked around online, I found it was a normal wear and tear item that we could have replaced for like $15. There are a few appliance parts places in town, the last one I used was over off of Broadway and 410.

    Yeah, I can understand that. I tend to be better at tearing things apart than I am putting it back together. I always catch grief from my family any time I start any kind of home repair work on my own!

    When my fridge was acting up, the fridge wasn't getting cold. I found the back of the freezer frozen up. I looked online and narrowed it down to I think a defrost thermostat/switch that got stuck. It froze up so bad it blocked the cold air from moving down into the fridge. I had to remove the icemaker to get the back cover off and get to the part, but it ended up being a pretty easy repair. Sucks not having a cold fridge though!
