The other day my wife told me that the light in the refrigerator was not working.
It is true that the interior light does not come on when the refrigerator door is opened.
I bought this refrigerator a long time ago, so it's not surprising that it has reached the end of its life. When I said that we should buy a new refrigerator, my wife said that it was a waste of money because the refrigerator was not broken.
It is true that the refrigeration function is not ruined. So I checked to see if I could replace the light bulb in the cabinet, and it seemed I could.
When I looked at the nameplate sticker on the inside of the refrigerator door, I found that it indeed described the standard for the interior light.
I immediately did a Google search and found the product.
The cheapest place was Yodobashi Camera. The store in Akihabara had it in stock, so I thought I'd go buy it on my way home from work, but they said they'd deliver it to me for online shopping. And they offer free shipping.
The price of the bulb is only 144 yen. The price of the bulb is only 144 yen, and the shipping is free. And it looks like it will be sent by Yu-pack.
Amazon also offers free shipping since I'm a Prime member, but even so, some sellers may have restrictions such as requiring a purchase of at least 2,000 yen with other items for a lower price.
This is the first time I have shopped at Yodobashi.com, and I was still surprised to see free shipping.
However, since Yodobashi.com was able to obtain my information (e-mail address, address, credit card information, etc.) through this shopping trip, it might be worth the fee.
It arrived last Friday, so I replaced the bulb and the inside of the refrigerator became brighter.
Our refrigerator was made in 2003, so we've been using it for 18 years now.
I bought it when my wife was 11 years old.
It seems that home appliances in the Philippines frequently break down and become unusable.
I don't know if it's a problem with the products themselves or the power situation (frequent power outages, unstable voltage, etc.).
If I move to the Philippines, I think it is better to buy home appliances from Japanese manufacturers, even if they are a bit expensive.
With the free shipping this time, I'm thinking that it would be a good idea to buy electronics not only from Amazon but also from Yodobashi.com.
I think I may have fallen for Yodobashi.com's trickery.
