When did appliances get so shitty?

[Texasgal]

I will never buy another GE product as long as I live!

My GE dryer only 4 years old has died! First it started making loud noises and then it stopped heating completely. I called GE's warranty repair and had a very nice fellow come out. The bearings and the heating element is shot, the bearings can be replaced under warranty but the heating element is NOT UNDER WARRANTY! WTF?

After talking to the repairman and assessing my bill... It would be WAY CHEAPER to buy a new dryer!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

What in the hell is going on here? My Mom had her golden harvest whirlpool washer and dryer for almost 30 years! She just recently bought a new set! She never had these repair issues!

What the hell is going wrong with today's shitty appliances? Will my crappy GE dryer become MORE landfill waste????

I am sooooo pissed right now!

* just to add, I've had in the last five years ( after thinking about it ) A GE coffee pot that didn't last, a GE dishwasher.... and an iron that cacked as well... hence my disdain for crappy GE products!
