    The fact that you think it’s normal to change fridges regularly astonishes me

      I don’t like it, but it is a fairly normal part of the modern world of consumer goods for home appliances to “not be made like they used to.”

      I just had to replace my clothes dryer. New one is guaranteed for one year. Estimates for the life of the unit is about ten years max. The dryer I replaced was made in 1989.

        I had to replace my washer recently. Brand new as of 2019. The price of repair was approximately 500 dollars. A new washer was 700. This is a very frustrating situation.
