Do you have landfills or junk yards in you area? You might be able to scrounge up parts for that fridge.
Not OP, my landfills won't allow people to scrounge for parts. They sell appliances that refuse to scrappers.
And my junkyards only do cars.
Hell, you can't even find pc recyclers in the mid-Atlantic US.
I am sorry to hear that. My local landfill has no fucks to give. You pay to drop off, and if you head over to the appliances section, you can grab what you need. Last time I was there I saw that a builder had dumped a tankless gass water heater with all the lines still attached. I grabbed all the copper and flex water lines and used them to plumb my new electric tankless water heater. Total cost? $2 for the recycling dump I had just made.
OMG that would be awesome.
Mine has a stack of CRT's that have been sitting there for years, it kills me. I keep seeing new ones added to the stack. There's no scrap value in those; they're semi-biohazard.
