I might have misremembered the price. I just remember it being prohibitively expensive vs just getting another fridge. I ended up just getting a free one off nextdoor n tossing the old one. It was a garage fridge. Having said that, I can see what you’re saying about if someone had a higher end fridge.
I actually love doing appliance repair as side jobs. Most of the time it’s a cheap part that I have on hand and it’s a quick fix.
Unfortunately, just my hourly rate usually makes some people second guess if it’s a good idea, which is fair, because manufacturers have made their products so bare bones and cheap that is often cheaper to buy a new one then have someone diagnose and repair it. It’s a real shame, because you do end up with literal tons of equipment that gets scrapped every day because of a 10 dollar relay or capacitor that went bad.
