  11 years ago I bought a GE Fridge, spent 4 grand on it, and all I want is to just be able to fix it myself.

  4 grand, and a whole lot of viable parts but it’s designed to crap out over time. I’ve 3d printed an evaporator fan shroud, condenser mounting bracket, and sourced replacement parts for the compressor and defrost cycle diode.

  All in all I’ve probably saved $1,500 in the services a repair tech would charge but in all reality, I’d have been told about 4 years ago to trash it and buy a new fridge.
