  • Have you actually thought about the first point in your second list, the door? Imagine the machine is running and actually full of water, and turning it off releases the door. Would that really make you happy?

    That said, your other points in that category are fair, and honestly incredibly weird. I never had a washer do any of that, but I assume it’s to stop your clothes from wrinkling. Are you sure that can’t be turned off?

    During the time when I grew up in my parents house, the heat failed exactly once, and there the heating system has to be replaced. It didn’t fail before, it didn’t fail after. It didn’t have any short term “hiccups”, ever. So to answer your question: Once in like 20 years.

    Since I’m living on my own, I’ve had trouble starting the very old gas stove for the apartment twice, and each time at the beginning of the heating season. Once it’s running, it just works. The thing is 60ish years old btw. and technicians refuse to touch it for fear of liability. Basically works fine since I cleaned it properly the last time it refused to start.

    Heating should be reliable, and it usually just is. What you’re describing is not normal. I don’t even know anyone who has recurring issues with their heat.
