Given the upcoming cash for appliances program, we looked around and assessed the kitchen and laundry areas. Fairly new washer, still working dryer, freezer working (shhh don't jinx it, it's full) range and fridge are the wrong color. Almond or biscuit - something of that nature. When they expire, we intend to go stainless.
We have never replaced an appliance because of color considerations. Just can't do it. Our refrigerator is elderly but still functioning. Softer ice cream in the top freezer plus milk going bad before the expiry date were our indicators of fridge failure in the past. They were beginning to talk to us, now.
So, we scheduled a maintenance visit. The repairman's name was Roberto and we will request him in the future. He took the back apart and cleaned it thoroughly from there and from the front. The pile of dust bunnies was huge. More like dust hippos. Runs like new now. As he described it, it was gasping for breath even though it was cold.
I guess I am happy about it. Visions of Stainless were dancing in my head.
Fading, fading, gone . . .

Yes, it does feel good to continue using the appliances and not have a big payment. One of our guests pointed out a valid point. By not replacing our dryer which hums and whistles a little bit; just might be costing us more money to FPL. Maybe the dryer does use more electricity than a brand new dryer........but………….. it’s paid for. LOL
That's the very best kind: the paid for kind!
Oh, jes . . .
Whistling dryers ? Kind of sounds neat. Ours hammers like someone's building the ark down there. Course it could be sneakers....
