Fridges 100% die, they're made to now. If your fridge is really that old and you can manage it, NEVER get rid of it, tell your parents to leave it to you in their will lmao.
You will lose money this way, old refrigerators were way way more power hungry and you can easily expect to spend more than a new fridge within 5 years.
You can still get new fridges that will last for decades. It just won't be one with LCD screens, ice machines, in door dispensers, complex internal designs, etc. Every one of those things simply creates a cascade of new points of failure, and component materials of varying ability to deal with the stress of being a fridge. You can buy new, efficient, fridges that are nothing but a box that cools, and a box that freezes, with doors. They will last for decades if you don't do anything crazy, or your house isn't destroyed by a natural disaster.
Gimme a brand and a model name, internet dude
I have heard good things about the SMEG fridges, FWIW.
Thank you, internet dude
