Old timer at a parts counter in Detroit told me I was overthinking a simple fridge fix
I spent 20 minutes explaining a tricky defrost timer issue to this guy and he just said 'swap the part and move on, kid.' Has anyone else had a veteran repair person cut through all your fancy diagnostics with a one-liner like that?

Wait, he kicked the side panel and that was it? That's insane. I would've been so mad watching that guy walk away with 20 bucks for basically a kick and a 5 minute fix.

My buddy Kevin spent three hours diagnosing a washing machine that wouldn't spin. Old school repair guy shows up, kicks the side panel once, and says "belt's off, don't charge my time for looking." Kevin said he watched the guy swap the belt in five minutes for 20 bucks cash and felt like a total fool.
