I moved into a dated house that came with dated kitchen appliances 70/80s. I've updated the floors under, the water line and gas line to them. Mostly everything around them. I've still kept the appliances. Still work great.

I'll keep my money and the fridge that still does what new fridge does, keeps shit cold. And the stove that does what a new stove dies, make shit hot.

Yeah, growing up we had a harvest gold Frigidaire from the 1970s. It didn't leave us, we left it.

(Don't miss the gallons of ice water in the freezer that had to be defrosted every few months.)

Its not fully the fault of tech companies, yeah there is some planned obselecence. But there won't be anymore "I will outlive you" appliances cause the more mechanical it gets the more cheaper and easier it is to repair and they also tends to have less individual components.

I don't think any of those new smartish watches even from the best of Swizz makers could last like it did 100years ago.

But why? Like what is failing so often in new fridges?

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago

All the control boards are always a popular thing to fail. They always cheap out on the components and out the board where it's done get moisture damage.

That fridge, in that color occupied a similarly wood paneled kitchen for me growing up. I got a little sweaty when I saw the picture, wondered who’s been in my old house.

Those things have worser energy efficency and probably contain worser refrigerants

I see your refrigerator and raise you a freestanding oven. The one with coils.
