That time a random stranger at Home Depot saved me $200 on a fridge repair

I was about to buy a new fridge because mine stopped cooling. A guy in the appliance aisle overheard me talking to the sales guy and pulled me aside. He said 'try cleaning the condenser coils first, 9 times out of 10 that's it.' I went home, pulled the fridge out, and found a thick layer of dust and dog hair on the coils. Vacuumed them off, plugged it back in, and it's been running fine for 6 months now. Has anyone else gotten great advice from a random person in a store that turned out to be spot on?
