My Fridge adventure Update

[supernova]

The Sears repairman just left.

Turns out it was a bad relay that had been recalled so the parts and laber for that were FREE.

So out of a $180 total bill, I spent $56 for a new water filter.

:woohoo:

edit: The Fridge is plugged in and cooling as I type. I'm sure it will take a while to cool down completely.

1. Told you it wasn't freon

Glad they covered it. Even though the relay probably only cost 3 dollars.

2. I didn't say it was definitely freon

I was expressing hope that it wasn't.

I did appreciate the info.

:hug:

3. I'm just glad the repairman was cool about it

Alot of guys I worked with would make up symptoms. A worried customer full of ideas is an easy kill for these predators. Man, I'm glad I got canned from that job.

4. lol Did you have to

exploit the weak for a certain quota a week?

5. You have no idea

I was essentially fired for not shaking down the customer. Repairmen basically have to look at the customer as the enemy. I can't do that.

By the way, don't look on ebay for your water filter if you want to feel good about your 50 dollar purchase.

6. Because you're a good man, Symarip

:hug:

No, I was going to get it at Lowes or from Maytag when I need the next one.

edit: I try never to volunteer extraneous information when the repair man comes. I don't want him suggesting $500 worth of work I don't need.

7. Yay!

Once in a while you win.
