Nothing last like it used to - and hey at least you didnt get what I did!
My ( now gone) bunny bit thru our new three year old fridge cord, and I fixed it. Guess what shprted out all the house fuses and burnt out its own motor, requiring a NEW fridge. Yep. 15 years sounds good. I wish my washer would do that but its plastic and dont thing it will last 27 years like Dads
