Appliance life span and our throwaway world

[4extreme]

sounds like she owes you one now...

I told the wife before I fixed it that we should get a young asian dishwasher instead of a Bosch, she didn't`t go for it, lol

I got Val this combo washer dryer
Should be fine.

Well I get to join this club now too, all our appliances are almost 7 years old now and have been good up until now. Our Kenmore (rebranded Samsung) dryer had the belt tensioner pile up, replaced that 2 weeks ago. Now the motor is going out, making a loud humming at all times, even if the dryer is empty.

Thankfully Amazon carries the parts, tensioner was $20, and ordered the same NewmoTech Motor (as long as the description and picture are correct) it came with from Amazon for $150. Samsung wanted $320 for the same part.

Sure wonder how many people just throw these things out every 5 years though.

My 2year old upright Frigidaire freezer ch!t the bed a week ago. No refrigeration tech would touch it. 1 year warranty only so got to spend another $900. Yay

No, the freezer low temp alarm went off and luckily I was home. Moved the items to the other deep freezer in the garage.

Every time I go to the dump to get rid of my garbage, there's no shortage of fairly new looking appliances in the scrap metal bin...

I saw an add on TV that some insurance company can add coverage for your appliances. I wonder if its worth it?
