If something went wrong a repairman would come to the house and take care of the problem. They also had an in store parts department. If a belt broke, you could go to the store and pick one up. Then they did away with all that. So now we go to places that sell appliances or TV's etc. that are closer or cheaper. As far as I am concerned they caused their own problems.
