Re: You better hope your appliances don't break....
I bought a foreclosure two years ago and finally got around to swapping out the outdated appliances with something modern as a Christmas present to myself...


GOOD LUCK! NOTHING IN STOCK ANYWHERE! ETA IS UNKNOWN

If your refrigerator craps out you're SOL. Spend an hour this weekend.... pull it away from the wall and clean your coils... Save some $$$ on electricity and perform some preventative maintenance.

Once COVID has reduced the population by 89%, this will become a non-issue.

Yep. I got rid of my old clothes washer and dryer to get new, what a mistake that was. Already had to repair the dryer once (drum seal) and the sound card is now dead.

Luckily our builder had a line on good appliances, so I am safe, but yeah it's nuts.

Re: You better hope your appliances don't break....
This is just because of the house selling/flipping boom that has been spiraling out of control for the last year. Everyone is getting new appliances. Plywood is hard to find. Contractors are booked solid.

Don't worry it will bust hard like 2008 and then you will be able to get all the appliances you want at deeply discounted prices. That new roof, tile, or siding you wanted will be 50% of the price that it is now. Of course we'll all be unemployed and broke!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79349465


All this house flipping is what is driving prices and property taxes up. There needs to be a law against instant unlimited flipping
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79367141



They don't even need a law, just allow interests rates to be decided by the free market and end all the QE programs that have kept rates artificially low for 20+ years. No one would bother flipping houses if there weren't insane profits to be made from it.

I know one thing. Having good friends all around you that have skills in plumbing, electrical, mechanics, construction, etc etc.. Trading is going to be more important than ever.

Keep those friends close, and have something to trade. Almost everyone has a skill. Hell, if you dont, do the lawn, watch the kids, or any number of things. That's not a bad thing to have. Good friends with lots of different skill sets.

Maybe. For me, it's Craigslist. I keep spares anyway and sometimes get units for free. Someone threw out a washer and dryer set because the washer door broke. The dryer was almost brand new.

 Quoting: Madam President-Elect LittleMe


Fair enough. When I buy things, I figure that they'll last as long as they do, and in most cases, I can fix them cheaply enough, so I never get a warranty. Others have different circumstances and that's OK too. I just hope that the parts and repairman are there for you if you need them.

i did this on my old GE fridge from the mid 90s this summer. it was making odd noises, wouldn't stay cold.

cleaned the guts out, sucked a ton of crap off the evap/coils and she runs ice cold again.

cheaper to keep her. bought a big mini fridge still in box and have a freezer for backups.

I rented a house that had a old GE Fridge in it prolly about 10 years old late 80's or early 80s model. I was in that home for 24 years and the freezer quit working...amazing.

Re: You better hope your appliances don't break....
My oven was acting wonky after running the self-clean. Started calling around about a repair and almost everyone I talked to was a crook. One guy told me he needed to order a $500 part before even coming to the house. Another told me it would be extra to come out the same day then yelled at me when I said no thank you. Finally got a local guy who said he'd be right out. Fixed it it for the meantime and said he'd be back in 3 days with the new part. My husband asked him where his shop was and he said, "It's my truck."

I had a circuit board blow on a new dishwasher during a power surge. Ge. Took 3 months to get a new one. Appliance guy said Ge had sold to a Chinese company and since Covid it was hard getting parts.

Bummer. I had thought GE was true blue American.
