A guy at the supply house said he uses a $3 harbor freight inspection mirror to check behind fridge compressors

You know, I always thought the phone trick was smarter until I actually dropped mine. That three dollar mirror is a lifesaver.

Nah, I'm with the original guy on this one. Tbh @julia_lee, I'd be way too nervous about dropping my phone into some tight spot or knocking it into a component. A cheap mirror you don't care about is perfect for a quick peek. You just need to see if there's a leak or a nest back there, not take a perfect photo. My phone costs way more than three bucks and a mirror never needs its battery charged.

Honestly the real pro move is taping your phone back there with the camera on. You get a way better look and can even take a picture if you need to show someone the problem.
