Since the original “bash Black & Decker” has been shunted, I have another appliance tale. A few years back the missus decided that we needed to upgrade the washer and dryer units. I went along “to pick out the color.” She decided on two LG units with computer controls up the wazoo. I concurred when she decided that the five year plan was a good idea. I am getting a little long in the tooth to be dragging washers/dryers out in the driveway to fix. LG has an app that lets your phone communicate with your washer/dryer.
The five year plan includes periodic visits from the maintenance guys, even if there is no issue.
The washer the missus selected had a drop panel in the top. (Top loader.) The idea being that when not in use the extra air would aid in keeping mold/mildew to a minimum. The panel is hinged and about two inches deep and almost runs the full width of the lid.
When the second maintence visit was scheduled the tech showed up and we directed him to the laundry room. He came out a moment later stating that the top of the washer was broken and he would need to order a new lid. It was all I could do not to ridicule him for his lack of familiarity with the product he was sent to inspect/service. I guess i need to get ready to work on my own machines again.......
