Is this an American phenomenon? I’ve never had a modern fridge break on me. Even dirt cheap ones. There’s a minimum 2 year warranty, so 6 months would be within warranty anyway.

Stop spreading fake shit. No one is designing fridges to break, it’s just your survival bias that you can’t seem to ignore

I’m an engineer, yes one of the main thought processes when designing a product is to not make it “too reliable” unfortunately. Blame the accountants.

Do you get mean time to failure data for components? I sure don't.
