I'd like to think I'm fairly capable of doing my own repairs. It's the electrical stuff that I wonder about. You know they always scare you with the line "a new fridge would cost you $$$". Realistically, does anyone really have any issues with their electrical systems?
Electrical problems are fairly common, they’re also fairly simple and cheap to fix. As far as the frig goes, the one in my 1989 TT went out two years ago. So while any mechanical gadget can fail prematurely, it may also last for decades. It depends whether you want to pay for peace of mind or to play the odds, which are in your favor. Another thought. I recently ran across an extensive article on extended warranties. In short, it said you shouldn’t buy a warranty that costs more than half the most expensive repair you could incur or the item. FWIW.
