How long should a fridge last for...

[bright.ton42]

I've had my Westinghouse for 8 years and it's finally carked it - after a costly repair last year. 

Just wondering -  I'm sure in the last generation fridges used to last a lot longer. 

What are others experiences?

It hasn't got a name on it.  It's some kind of an eagle emblem. 

It's not real.  It's a miniature 😄

i must say the fridge and hot water heater are breathtaking . (and the rest of course, its not just those) and the gas kooka oven i can see in the pic looks great too.

They are great miniatures all made by the same company in England.  

The fridge is so solid.  It actually weighs over half a kilo and inside it has an ice chest and the old shelves.

Yes, the older ones did last a bit longer.

My 1965 Kelvinator has had a set of door seals. That's it. Never a thermostat, regas or any other such work. Purrs along like a new one.

If you know of someone with access to Choice, they have reviewed over 70 fridges. 😉

A 65 Kelvinator?  Nearly 50 years?  Truly awesome.  . 

And Joono I love your miniature kitchen,  ducks and all. Have you got any other miniature rooms?

Yes I have Brighton.  I've even started decorating my antique cupboard in miniature style.

This is one section I was doing for Christmas.

My Westinghouse is 31 years and still going strong. I've only ever had the seals replaced once.
