Appreciation post: my 12-year-old fridge's compressor died last Tuesday, so I unplugged it, moved all my food to a cooler, and called a local appliance repair guy who fixed it for $180 instead of the $900 I was quoted for a new unit.
Has anyone else had a major appliance break and found a repair that was way cheaper than a full replacement?

Seriously? That's just a temporary fix.

My washing machine motor went out last year and a local guy fixed it for 250 bucks. I mean, a new one would have been over 800 easy. Sometimes it's just one part that fails. I get what @olivia_hernandez is saying about temporary fixes, but a good repair on a simple part can last for years. It's worth getting a quote before you just toss the whole appliance.
