Our refrigerator is seventeen years old. It's still working good and the only problem it has we created. We cut it off and left the doors open while we were in Italy for four months. The AC was turned off those four months , so it must have gotten really hot in the house, It caused the gaskets on the refrigerator door to swell and the results is that the door no longer closes on its own. We try to be careful, but have left it open over night several times. We decided that maybe it was time for a new one. The refrigerator it replaced was over twenty years old. We gave it away and just found out a while back that its in a farm house and still running. Its over thirty five years old now!
We stopped at Sears to see what they have. Found a sales man and told him were looking for a new refrigerator . He asked "How old is the one you have now?" "Seventeen years" I responded. Salesman smirking, answers, " The new ones won't last that long".
At first I thought it was just a dumb salesman , making a dumb comment.
Went to Best Buy and got the same reaction from the salesman there.
It just doesn't sound like a very convincing sales pitch. When I was selling autos and someone came in with a twenty year old vehicle, I never said , " Ha, the new ones won't last that long"
We going to just keep the old one for now.
