Refrigerators and planned obsolescence

Most of the refrigerator manufacturers cut corners (it would seem), and make refrigerators that break much sooner than you'd anticipate.

They complicate things by making them hard to repair or not covering some parts under the warranty, or not having parts in stock.

And that tweaks the bottom line because consumers have to buy another fridge!

But here's a case where a group of consumers are saying whirlpool for this practice.

We - as humans - can be better. Refrigerators are not good for the environment, once their service life is over. So you would think companies might come up with different methods or try and at least make them last.

But you'd be wrong.
