Checked all my tracking this morning and nothing has moved. Unreal.
I love the Z80. I have the Ash Grey. The one stuck in shipping is white.
I'm about due for a change myself.
I don't count.
Good morning random folksHave you any plans today?
I'm going to replace the defrost heater assembly in my 1985 SBS Montgomery Wards fridge/freezer. It was made by Whirlpool for MW, and parts are still available. This is the 3rd set I've replaced in it at $21-47. The only other parts I've ever needed to replace were:
2) thermostats @ $18 each, 1) temperature control @ $32, 2) defrost timers @ $17 and $23. I've needed freon put in it just once, in 2016 @ $86 (service call & freon). The compressor went out on it within the 5 year warranty period and was replaced for free then.
It cost $300 brand new in 1985, and I've spent at most $294 on it since then. The same guys who own the 2 appliance part places always chuckle when I go see them for a part. They say things like - "You still have that old MW fridge/freezer! See...we told you to hang on to it. They were much better built than the newer stuff. You can also still repair most things on it yourself! Can't do that with newer ones." I think it sort of makes their day.

That is BEYOND awesome. Good thing it was made by Whirlpool, since MW went OOB so long ago.I'm going to replace the defrost heater assembly in my 1985 SBS Montgomery Wards fridge/freezer.
