I have replaced the icemaker inside the freezer of our 2005 fridge multiple times. I order one from Amazon for $50 or whatever, hook it up, and then it lasts a few years. This is not a difficult DIY job. Mildly tedious. Trying to avoid spending thousands on a new fridge.
Adding, while the cost isn’t much more now than it was in 2005 for our type of fridge (large french door), seems like maintenance guys lament the poorer quality of newer appliances compared to older ones. I’m also hoping my 20 yr old washer and dryer keep going. They are very basic, but get the job done. Washer has a problem I need to do something about (drain sometimes opens during rinse fill) and I have been procrastinating on fixing it. For some odd reason I’d much rather do it myself than pay someone to come, maybe because it usually ends up being some $5 part.
