Fridge replacement advice

[Susan Tan]

This is my first major repair request as a new landlady. I received this question from my property manager: "We sent someone out and it can not be repaired. I am sorry to have to tell you this news. Do we have your approval to purchase a refrigerator and have the old one hauled out, would you prefer a used appliance or new?" Do you have advice on buying a fridge either used or new and which brand?
