Found out from an old timer that most washing machines from the 90s had motors that lasted 20 years easy, now I'm lucky if a new one makes it past 7.

I saw a chart from a repair shop in Phoenix showing failure rates by brand and it blew my mind how much shorter the lifespan is now, does anyone else think they're building these things to break on purpose?

Honestly my top loader sounds like it's auditioning for a metal band every time it spins, Ngl I basically just pray it lasts through my laundry pile.

Had a neighbor whose washer started smoking mid-cycle, sounded just like that.
