Broken ice-maker: fix it or provide tenant with ice trays?

[Edita D.]

Hey guys!

Our tenant just reported that the ice maker at our 3-bedroom home in Lubbock stopped working. Typically ( in Lubbock ) refrigerator, washer/dryer, dishwasher are NOT provided by landlords: tenants bring their own. When we purchased the property, the fridge came with it though.

Now, instead of FIXING the ice maker, which is expensive, I thought just to provide the tenant with ice trays, which cost a lot less. After the ice maker broke at our HOME RESIDENCE, we just got ice trays with my husband, so I don't see why we can't offer that option to the tenant.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
