    Ya… That just won’t work, at least here in the states. Those old appliances were great and lasted forever but they consumed a massive amount of energy, they would never pass federal regulations now a days.

    Also fridges from the 50s had a tiny tendency to explode from time to time.

          1 I’m not really being that serious, 2 even if the regulations vanished; companies are lazy, they wouldn’t just switch production.

      I’m sure it’s possible to fix those issues without reducing its lifespan to one day over its warranty.

        O God yes. And they have good ones.

        The issue is they cheap out on the resistance sensors and put in too many control boards and features into these appliances that amount to jack but sound great on a spec sheet.
