[QUOTE="DDD, post: 573675, member: 35"] I agree, Hound, old sure seems to last a whole lot longer than new. I'm almost afraid to even say it (or type it) LOL but we have been pretty lucky with repairs. At home and at the store our AC units are over fifteen years old and when the repair guys get called the younger ones say "Oh, your unit is [B]really old[/B]"...the older repair guys say "Oh you've got a good old unit." Our refrigerator/freezer is seventeen years old and we've only had two minor problems. on the other hand I bought new ss dishwasher less than five years ago and it not only doesn't do a great job washing/drying the dishes it takes 93 minutes to cycle. It's a name brand and it was not cheap. Guess what we are planning on replacing?? Yep, the new fancy dancy wife has got to go! My unsolicited advice?? Start exploring repair people before you need repairs done and look for OLDER repairmen. I have been told (politely, of course) by two repair guys in their 30's "Ma'am these appliances are not meant to last more than five years." You've got to find OLD people who anticipate that big purchases will last a lifetime. I'm betting yours will. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
