I contacted a repair guy. He asked me a few questions and it boiled down to this… It was installed in 2001 (previous homeowners wrote the date right on the side 😆) . He’s like, I can fix it for 500-800 bucks but given its age, you’re better off replacing it. Good thing is, a couple years ago my insurance agent added something to my homeowners policy that covers major appliances. I’ll give them a call tomorrow. For my 500 deductible, it’s a good selling point when we put our house up in a couple years.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
