I woke up to a dead fridge this morning, so I had to haul all the food down to the spare in the basement.

It's only 14 years old. It smells like the culprit is this TOP245PN chip, a 12V switch mode power supply unit. I ordered one from Mouser for $2.50. We'll see if I am right when UPS comes next Friday.

Bring back the rock solid 70's-80's fridges, they were tanks and just kept going.

I spend way to long thinking about which exact year was the peak of automotive ICE engineering. I think it was early 00’s 🤷‍♂️

It seems like low quality componentry since then has been production cost cutting, whereas before then the intro of automation was the main driver of pdx cost cutting. It probably set a kpi benchmark that had inertia and what we end up with today is degenerate shite quality products.

Yeah the 90's was still good for cars.

I know. When I was kid, my parents had a lime green that they got used. They kept it until I was in college. The only thing wrong with it was the door seal.

Yes! The door seals were your biggest problem.
