We bought a little countertop icemaker because our big icemaker isn't working again. It might be fixable or it might be time to think about a new one, but the little one will get us through the next few weeks.

We also had our two-year defrost timer failure on our SubZero freezer. :sigh: They're seeing if a different maker's plug-compatible defrost timer might be more reliable, should be installed on Monday.

Be sure you get one that is garage-ready, sometimes if it is too cool in the winter they don't regulate their temperature well.

I'd have more appliances if I had the space.

I have a Frigidaire refrigerator and it's gone through a number of defrost timers. It must be on number 4 or 5. The last time I needed one, my brother told me to buy 2 of them, to keep one on hand. That was good advice. Fortunately, mine is fairly easy to access through the console on the ceiling of the fridge, where the temp controls are, so I've been doing it myself (thank you, YouTube). It's been about 3 years since the last replacement, a record for this fridge! I've taken the old ones apart and saw that the gears are plastic. I think that plastic gears become stubborn over time.
