WAY OFF TOPIC CHIT CHAT.
Does anyone here have appliance repair experience?
I am getting some with my crappy Samsung French door refrigerator!
About once every 15 months the fan motor on the evaporator coil burns out. The filter assembly cracked and leaked. Sometimes the ice feed line heater takes a dump and twice now, I've had to replace the ice cube tray due to cracking in half.
Now the ice maker will add water. It will freeze the ice cubes. But it will NOT dump the cubes into the hopper.
Only if I push the "test" button will it cycle and drop the cubes.
The replacement ice motor assembly is about $150 and contains the circuit board. The part I assume is defective. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to toss another $150 at this $1,300 refrigerator.
....Unless I can get another year or two out of it.
The new one my wife wants is almost $4,000.
They just don't make them like they used to.
It's a long shot asking here.
I know I'm not the only DIY guy here.
Thanks
