        You joke but Samsung fridge compressors ARE notorious for catastrophic mechanical failure.

        A fridge on fire is, like, literally the opposite of what a fridge should do >.>;;;

            He services these appliances. Which is to say, he is specifically doing business with people who want to repair and keep theirs, and he has hands on in depth experience not only restoring them to working order but specific direct observation of what their faults and failure modalities are. He bases his positions on how robust a machine is such that people actually bother to get it fixed instead of just replacing it with a “new” one as if whole ass several hundred dollar appliances are single use appliances.

      I would like to agree, unfortunately Samsung still gives the longest updates on sub 150 euro phones.

      But yeah, why does a refrigerator needs a screen in the first place? My white branded fridge must be nearing at least 15 years old, could use new rubber but apart from what still working perfectly.
