My husband bought this house from the 1940s that we currently live in about 11 years ago, and it came with a fridge from the 90s. Its not pretty, but it worked then and it still works now, so we just never bought a new fridge.
Never really made sense to us to drop hundreds (thousands?) of dollars on a new fridge just for the aesthetics, so we didn’t. Even tho we’ll get some comments from our moms about it every now and then…
Make sure you clean the dust off the coils (usually on the back) once in a while and make sure it’s not too close to the wall. It helps the compressor not run as much, increasing its life.

Appreciate the tips! I’ve never bothered to look at maintenance (other than changing water filter). Gonna check that out tomorrow.
