Inferior (by design) Chinese steel (in everything, including military spare parts).

Obsolescence.
GE & Westinghouse created the technique after having a price-war over lightbulbs. They agreed to make light bulbs only last for a fraction of their capability so that they wouldn't have to keep undercutting each others prices.

My Thermador Range/Oven and dishwasher are made in the USA also...I bought them 8 years ago and they are maintenance free so far.

Thermador and Bosch are both made by the same company. All their applianes last 4 ever and are pretty much maintenance free. I was so tired of repair men basically living at my house, we spent more this time, but I do not regret it! Great company good products!

I bought a whirlpool Refrigerator 3 years ago, the sticker inside reads: Made in America.

The sticker itself maybe
[–] GlendaleBurbank ago (edited ago)
If that was the case, I would not have purchased it. The refrigerator is indeed made in America. I researched it before I purchased the refrigerator. With my track record of buying products that are made in the USA I am not easily duped. Sorry you are cynical of other people's research capabilities.

Just buy Speed Queen, Amana, Frigidare and forget the junk!
... the name Speed Queen just makes me smile. Consumer appliances built with commercial parts.

Who owns Frigidaire now? That may be garbage too now.

By the way, I heard Maytag was bought by some other company. I was told name doesn't mean anything anymore because shitty companies are buying the names and making garbage., Like Shark vacuums and kitchen aide. We're all being scammed.

I just bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer for wifey. The only difference between it and the laundromat models is the coin slot. Made in USA and will last us 25 years or more. Strongly recommended.
