My frig went out a couple weeks ago. Thankfully it was still under the warranty but it was under 5 years old. Compressor went out. The repair guy said its super common.

All I could think about was fiat being the root cause along with energy conservation at all costs. The compressors on these newer fridges turn on and off a lot more to save power. They have smaller fans. To save power. If they aren't kept clean they burn up fast.

The governments require low power consumption and the side effect of breaking is not a concern. You have to buy a new one... there's not competitive pressure from another company making a more reliable unit because that would require more power consumption.

So its fiat + the state putting their finger on the market to distort it.

In the last 3 months I have had a water heater and a fridge go out. Both less than 5 years old. Fiat does ruin many things. And almost no one talks about it outside of our circle here and in bitcoin. Some days it can be maddening.
