if the cost of repair again is prohibitive, then buy a new one.

when we replaced our old ref with the so-called new gen, we had to cut away the wooden shelf above it, so's the new model would fit.
instead of putting things on that shelf, we now put things on the ref itself.
the arrangement may not win a beauty contest, but it works fine.
okay doc, I won't buy na muna. Lumamig ulit. Not sure if the smoke or fog inside is because it was too cold? Weird kasi ngayon nagpapawis na naman so hindi stable ang temperature

Repair is probably a better option

You're right. Better than spending 35k

I really hate that they don't build appliances to last anymore. We have a national ref that is almost 30 yrs old and still working. It is even colder than the Panasonic Inverter nga

Gusto ng 1 LG accredited company to replace it for 15k.
Had it repaired via welding and reprocessing for 6k.
Mukhang mahinang klase na talaga parts ng appliances

I was planning on buying an LG side by side (24 cu ft) kasi hindi naman malayo price sa tinitignan ko na 15 cu ft. The problem is the height does not fit the area so we would have to baklas a cabinet for it to fit BUT BUT BUT since tsikoteers are saying nga na 10 +/- na lang lifespan ng ref, I will scrap the idea of a side by side kasi that's P48k din. I would rather buy a smaller 9 cu ft ref at least hindi sabay masisira hehehe
