To repair or not to repair?

[Arne]

5. My 15 year old Roper needs repair once a year.

I've learned it's so easy that I have all the parts in advance
for all of my appliances, even the 2.5ton AC.
But that's because I fix things.

If you had found the noise early you would have been ok.
Now it's probably more serious. They really are simple
machines and lucky people find used ones for less than your repair estimate.
New is the other way to go, kinda pricy
but I'm cheap that way.
