Re: Anyone repair appliances? GE ice maker issue
This brings up an interesting question: how long should things plan on lasting? Note that designing for a longer lifespan adds to cost -- will most folks be willing to pay that additional cost?
[Of course, this depends on the market: designing a cell phone to last 10 years would probably be overkill. OTOH, designing a kilowatthour meter to only last 10 would be totally impractical from a business standpoint.]
TV? Microwave oven? ECU? <shrug>
