Almost any air conditioner of other appliance can be repaired for a hundred dollars or so, even though the smart thing to do is to replace it. Most of the time, the warranty company will repair it rather than replace it.


That's the same feeling I have. The only thing I disagree with is that there's no way you can repair an air conditioner for 100 bucks or virtually any other major appliance unless things are so different in TV then they are up here in New Jersey. In general though I agree with you.
