64. Our middle daughter and son-in-law bought a refrigerator

three years ago. They paid for a repair two years ago and now it’s not working again,. They have an appointment for today for a repair and AI tried to get her to cancel it through text message but she refused to accept that. We’ll see if the repair person comes. Fortunately, they have another refrigerator in their garage that came with the house when they bought it. It’s most likely 20 years old.

I have stackable GE washer and dryer in our bathroom and another set downstairs. We own a lake house that we live in year round and have lots of company. The washing machine in our bathroom stopped working and I couldn’t get it open. I have an extended warranty on it, but you would never know it since it took four weeks to get somebody to fix it. It too is only a couple of years old. My husband and I commented that it’s fortunate that it’s only the two of us and that we’re not a young single parent with children that have school uniforms or sports uniforms who has to go to a laundromat to get laundry done.

I think it’s criminal the way these appliances are poorly made. My father died a couple of years ago when he sold his house it was a refrigerator that was probably 45 years old, still running, still working.
