Then buy another cheapo job & repeat. He said to do the same with TV's & DVD players..

I drive past a appliance dealer, almost daily and they set the trade-ins next to the building. I see a lot of really late model washers, dryers, fridges, ranges and microwaves.
As I understand, it could cost at least half of replacement cost for the repairs on these items. By the looks of some these items, they're higher end, at least over $1000 USD new! Many front load washers and matching dryers.
