Maybe he can be reborn after an overhaul.

“Amanda”...

is 40 years old and still going like the Energizer bunny ....

He's a pain in the ass though, occasionally peeing himself, squawking, sometimes running on and on while just generally being a nuisance to those around him.

He still has his hat though: usually an assortment of half full bags of chips, cereal and garbage bags.

house in 2015. 28 years old.

After 19 years of diligent washing, our trusty Maytag dishwasher (May to those that know her...) needed an emergency impeller assembly replacement. After a little over $100 in parts (really, $100 for three pieces of plastic?) and some good youtube repair video watching, I was able to revive her and she is now performing excellently again. Actually I was happy to be able to still find parts for a 19 year old dishwasher. Fix if you can, it is cheaper in the long run. Otherwise may Ken the Kenmore cross over that final fridge door closing.

Let’s face it...he had a cold personality. Sometimes, if you listened very carefully, he would hum a monotone song in the middle of the night. Creepy, right? To Ken, everything was either open or shut, no in between. But if you could get Ken to open up to you the lights would just come on and he would invite you in.

His son was just a smaller version of him. I last saw him in his college dorm room.

that lasted through 3 moves and 25 or so years. It was good until it just stopped. We have a new, smaller freezer now. Not a Kenmore. I don't know if it will make it much more than 10 years. Every now and then, more now than then, it just shuts off. Thankfully I am here most of the time and figure it out. Apparently the warning buzzer does not work either. It is a Whirlpool. The fridge is a Maytag and has been losing parts for several years now. It is only 13 years old. I hate when the trusty ones go.

I now have an LG I got in 2015 & have replaced the ice maker 3 times. 😟

My parents bought her in 1954, when they moved into their first house. It still works fine, as long as you don't mind defrosting it every couple of months. Jennifer has been the drinks fridge for several decades!

"Remember to clean the dust and hair off the coils regularly"
was his epitaph.

What should I call the Frigidaire?

Herself vetoed my choice.

for my HVAC system, one of impossibly few left here in my little townhome complex. it's over 30 years old now and still works, but the replacement when she blows will probably require a loan.

i almost wouldn't mind if my refrigerator gave out because then I could get the fridge of my dreams. Bottom freezer.

Unlike Ken.

The posts here made me laugh and feel a little better about not having a fridge.

It's older than I am and it still works.

One of those REALLY old refridgerators that had the freezer inside the fridge.
