    It’s a bit crappy that manufacturers have managed to essentially force us into a subscription for our home appliances, by making self repair uneconomical and expensive, almost guaranteeing a replacement every 4-5 years.

    The repair contract on my washing machine is about to run out, and that thing has been serviced many times at this point. Once for a blown mainboard, burnt out motor, and other miscellaneous issues that some of the techs haven’t been able to identify, having to return again with more bits.

    At least I have a spare mainboard now and the last tech fitted a brand new motor, which is way quieter than the horrifically loud original one

      Agreed. IMHO, Bosch has a pretty good track record for dishwashers. Those things usually last a good long while.
