Why Repairing Your Current Appliances Makes Sense
It is time we consider personally all we can do to use wise recycling and conservation to curb the mounting height of trash in all landfills. Maintaining, rather than replacing, older appliances is one way to help.

Repair or Replace?

corrosion?

appliance with similar features?
