I was just reading through this thread and it hits close to home. Our family's old fridge finally gave out last month, and my first instinct was to just replace it. On a friend's recommendation, I called Ultrafix for refrigerator repair in Houston, and I'm so glad I did. The technician was a lifesaver and showed me how a simple faulty seal was causing the motor to overwork. There's something about saving that old appliance—it's seen so many family meals and late-night snacks—that just feels right, like you're honoring its history instead of just adding to a landfill. Giving it a second chance was definitely the right call for us.
