Re: Mechanical troubles!

GE.  It is a piece of crap!  I can't believe it blew in 2-3 years.  The
fridge that came with the house was 15 years old -- at the very least --
when it crapped out!

Yep, it has a motherboard.  I was a little surprised too, but I think that
all new fridges do these days, so it appears.  It looks like the inside of
my laptop.
