It's ridiculous! my washer leaked too and it was less than five years old. Ya, you're right, we had all the same appliances when I was a kid, they never broke and could be repaired. Now they make to break. I hate it, what a waste, all in a landfill.

I'm sorry to hear this. Leaks are usually pretty easy to fix if you have the tools. Are your sons good at fixing stuff?

You can come use mine. It plays this annoyingly long tune when the cycle ends, puts a notification on the tv, and has alexa tell you it's done.
But the easiest way to know the cycle is finished is when the banging from the demons that are trapped inside it stops. I'm pretty it's a married couple that was fed up with each other eons ago.

Yesterday, my microwave just failed too! Funny thing is, 9 years ago I bought a new dish washer, new gas cooktop, new wall oven, new microwave, new washer, new dryer and a new exterior vented hood fan for my cooktop.

In that 9 year period I've replaced my new dishwasher twice which means I'm on my third new dishwasher, my new wall oven got replaced for another new one, my new clothes dryer got replaced for another new one, my new hood fan got replaced for another new one and now my new microwave is about to get replaced with another new one as well.

My mother is still using the same kitchen appliances she was given as wedding presents when she got married at 18 years of age and a year before I was even born and she still has them all to this day after raising an entire family with them and continues to raise my father to this day with those same appliances!
