Lets see, I have an Amana fridge that is now about 5 years old.  It
works great, but I hate the color (beige).  It was bought urgently after
our second-hand fridge died one day.  Stupidly I ordered the color that
matched the kitchen counters (which I hate).  So- I'm actually hoping
this fridge dies soon, so I can justify getting a new one that is not
such a hideous color.  Live and learn- word of advice- order appliance
that you like- not that match the kitchen color you hate!

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.

Replacing the breakers is one of the first things I did when I got in
here.
The electrician looked at what was here and asked what garage sale did
they
get these things from??

We need to replace our panel, too. It's only 100-amp and the main





breaker





hasn't been made for a number of years. Lowest estimate we've had is
$1,400--so I don't know when we'll get to it.

It is not as costly as I was imagining to replace the box. Although
our house is only 8 years old, we are adding some plugs and found we
didn't have expansion capabilities.(read outside plugs for trains and
Xmas stuff)

Of course if the existing wiring has to be replaced also, that is
another story...

Not that old. We moved in in 1994, so about 12 years. Even when it
was built, we didn't have much confidence in the sub contractor the
contractor used for hooking up the wiring in the house. We
unaffectionately called them Larry, Moe and Joe for some obvious
reasons. The geothermal heat pump would not work when they finished
their "installation." Bill had to take the wiring diagram and do the
hook up himself before it would pass inspection and Bill isn't an
electrician. (He's just darned good at about everything, kind and
tender, too. Any wonder why I married him?)

It was a bit scary, but the danger is past for now. We just need to
get a new panel installed before something else goes out because of
it.
