Oddbean new post about login | logout Fridge being replaced; the compressor failed and locked up, and I guess they're not qualified to repair it so they replaced it. Going from a side-by-side that was too big for the space to a freezer-over-fridge style. Whee.
@93068179 generally, they don't replace compressors. They make them all slightly different year to year, and intentionally crap for Planned Obsolescence reasons. As for the filter, you can get an in-line filter that's cheaper and does the same job for 5 years. I'll look one up and put it in a unlisted reply toot.
