Fridges don't break down after 3 years. Please let's have a serious discussion.

In what possible way could using the same washing machine for 25 years be worse than buying and dumping a washing machine every 8-10 years?

Mine did. One of the PCBs was designed in a way that when the fridge light breaks it causes the whole pcb to fry and the fridge stops functioning. Thankfully we were able to get a replacement pcb because the manufacturer still supplied it.
