welcome to my world.

I just lost a tenant over my not willing to furnish fridge and washer / dryer in upper end sfr. I am not in the appliance rental business and feel NO LL SHOULD BE.
If the negotiation goes in that direction, I offer cash amounts towards tenant buying and owning their own appliances. In your case a six year old fridge is almost at the end of it's life anyway and most of that stuff should be depreciated out in five. That's what a judge will tell you. Many of us have made the mistake of putting fancy appliances in upper end units to 'make-em-sexy'......tenants are tenants because they're tenants !

Part of the problem is that the genius designers offshore who are specifying cheap plastics for shelving have no idea,....and don't care,...what a gallon of milk weighs and how many times over ten years of use it get bounced around on that door shelf.

there are companies that stockpile appliance parts on the net. I've found oven hinges, solenoids, glass, all sorts of oem stuff that the manufacturer's 800 numbers laughed at me for trying to find.
