You are probably right. Most of the ones around here can sell you a refurbed or new fridge so the motivation and profit for house call repairs seems low. Dude basically no showed. The places that just do repairs only are backlogged for 7-10 days when I needed it today So I wound up buying the same fridge brand new, lol. Won't waste my time with a repair man again.I think appliance repair will be the next trade on its way out though. I agree many people are incapable of doing the repairs (or unwilling to learn), and hence it’s hard to find a tech; but appliances that were once major purchases are starting to swing towards “disposable consumer goods”. They are still expensive enough to repair for a lot of people but I bet in a decade or so that will change even more when people just toss them and get a new one
