    The pieces of refrigerators that have failed me in the last 15 years have been the plastic parts. A small improvement in plastic quality or engineering seems like it could double the life of the refrigerator. And of course a small plastic replacement part costs $50 or more.

    • My last fridge, something in the compressor failed; it would have cost almost as to fix as replace.

      But maybe fridges aren’t the same as AC units and heat exchangers. If I knew that, I could probably have fixed my fridge myself :-/
