You never know when you really need a fridge freezer, regardless of the cost you don’t need in your house,Looks like our fridge freezer is dying and will need replacement. As it’s part of a fitted kitchen, sorting it will be a pain, not to mention expensive.
I suppose I shouldn’t moan too much, it has lasted nearly 20 years but it’s a cost we don’t need.

I know what you mean about the fitted kitchen problem Steve. They look lovely until something needs a swap out. We had problems with our washer dryer and after the call out it wouldn't fit back into its slot. Pain in the bottomLooks like our fridge freezer is dying and will need replacement.

Hope you get a good swap and a good price. 
I have called someone who does kitchen appliance stuff for me for advice on your behalf. The most common issue on fridge freezers is the compressor which is not a DIY repair and may even need attention by a gas certified engineer (which he isn't) but the cost is £400+ which is well on the way to a new fridge freezer. He also made the point that new fridge freezers are much more efficient than a 20 year old model. I asked him if there was a brand that he could recommend and his only comment was not Flavia or Beko.Looks like our fridge freezer is dying and will need replacement.

Be very careful about home warranty policy, they'll charge you interested, and 12 months fees or longer.
document. Always keep a record, in case you need to see a solicitor.
I've had American Home Shield for 15 years and have used it to repair and/replace appliances, HVAC systems. There is no indebtedness. It's a policy just like your home and property insurance.Be very careful about home warranty policy, they'll charge you interested, and 12 months fees or longer.
Read the fine print, before, you sign any bull
I wasn't suggesting anything dishonest, but at this point the appliance is still working and could work for some time.
Your system may be different to ours but taking out insurance only when you know of a problem could be regarded as fraud and comparable to buying insurance for vets fees after you know that your dog is ill or buying boat insurance because you have been told that a bad storm is coming, even buying car insurance after an accident has occurred. I have heard reports of people buying insurance on jewellery after it has been lost.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but a home warrantee policy can be a good thing to have in place regardless of what is going on at the moment.
