Have appliances become junk

Michael Nahm

After years of relative quiet, appliance-wise, we had to replace two refrigerators and a dishwasher in three different units.

Both refrigerators, different brands, from different sources, arrived faulty.

The first wouldn’t cool. AT. ALL.

The second overheats on it’s outer walls, where is feels dangerously hot (not just warm).

I’ve never had any new appliance not operate properly and am wondering if this is a trend or if my 2 out of 2 refrigerators ended up being outliers.

The dishwasher hasn’t been installed yet, so the jury is out on that one.

Yes, appliances are junk. Most modern stuff is built cheaply and won't last. Remember how we used to have a TV and radio repair shop in town? Now TVs are disposable. Appliances are going the same way. Consumers don't want to pay for quality, manufacturers cut corners because they are more concerned about profits.
