I will never throw it my mother in law’s stove or washer or dryer. I think all are 1950s-80s and repair parts and manuals are available all over online. Rather than fighting LG or Kenmore or Samsung or whoever and getting screwed after spending big $$$ on a smart appliance, I just buy a part, usually <$100, and fix it myself. I have a few more delicate items that I wash in my parents washer because it is more gentle, but it also doesn’t clean as well as the old machines. Power consumption doesn’t matter so much in this case because there’s solar on the roof offsetting the extra usage, and from an environmental perspective, replacing a machine and disposing of an old one has a cost as well.
