Depends. My last fridge the thermostat went bad and it couldn’t be fixed because they embedded the entire thing into the foam. Terrible design. Was a whirlpool.


That's similar to what sent my last Samsung fridge to its next home. Samsung apparently had some problems with wire movement in the door hinge, so they changed the design and embedded the wires in glue/foam/whatever. So now if you have a problem with those wires, which happens because it's a hinge ... you get to replace the whole door at least. Turns out to be an expensive pain in the ass if the fridge is more than a few years old, it was more time- and cost-effective to get a new fridge at that point.
