This is our lovely fridge, nothing too exciting although I do like the glass doors and it's only a couple of years old.
Anyways, a short time ago, this little white plastic thing broke off the bottom of one of the doors and without it, the door doesn't swing close very well and needs a bit of a nudge.
Here it is here, see how small it is and how non descript it is...
So I called the insurance people (thank goodness for extended warrantees!) and they sent a lovely man out who scratched his head a bit and ummed and ahhed and finally fixed it with a Westinghouse piece of non descript white plastic as an interim measure until he could get the right small non descript white plastic piece from the manufacturer of our fridge.
So that sounds easy...but no, and this is where it gets silly.
That small white non descript piece of white plastic that is probably worth about 20c (and I'm being generous) isn't available on it's own and they are shipping out a whole NEW door at a cost of $1500 plus shipping and I have no idea what it costs to fit the new door.
I mean, seriously!!!! So ridiculous I just can't stand it.
All covered by our insurance but what are we doing with our world, it makes me sad! Our perfectly fine fridge door will end up at the dump, all for the sake of a small white piece of plastic. Craziness :(
Hope you are all well :)
Have a happy day!
