After years of overuse, the fan motor in our air conditioner failed
This caused the machine to overwork for years plus eventually the fan motor stopped working.
When you’re young it’s easy to guess that anything can be repaired or replaced. But as you get older plus live through distressing situations plus honest trauma, you realize that the things in life that are replaceable come at a drastic cost. This could be a financial cost or a mere psychological 1. But even among monetary problems, you either have the economic means or you don’t. It’s love the private school student driving the brand current Mercedes who wrecks it at little to no drastic repercussions to him or his wealthy parents. Contrast that to a single parent trying to keep a 20-year-old automobile from constantly cutting down plus needing to go to a mechanic all of the time. Once our parents were out of the picture, our safety net was gone. I had no option but to learn to maintain everything that I owned, be it an old CD player or a laptop PC. And however I was replacing the filters in our first air conditioner that I acquired when I bought our first house, I wasn’t treating it constantly when it was in use. I was turning the temperature far too low when it was entirely overheated outside. This caused the machine to overwork for years plus eventually the fan motor stopped working. Since it happened before I reached the 10-year mark for the air conditioner’s age, the repair was covered by the warranty. It still made me realize that I need to be a lot more careful with our central air conditioner. If this had happened only two years later, I would have been forced to pay for the repair myself.
