I had a ~18 year old dish washer, a Bosch, it got repaired so many times by me that most of the internal bits were newish (mostly bits from eBay).
Then the electronics went, I swear it was a chip that intentionally fried, most of the board logic read fine, except that one chip that had it’s number sanded off and I couldn’t find a replacement according to the circuit diagram I had. I believe it was a counter chip, designed to fry after so many cycles. I tried but couldn’t bypass it.
A replacement board was outrageously expensive, so we got a new dishwasher. That was about 4 years ago, we are on new dishwasher number 2. It’s disgusting behaviour by these companies.
Dog got a drink, face all wet ...shook off ... splattered the touchpad on the range (its in the front just above the door) - it LOCKED THE DOOR like it was going into a high temp cleaning cycle and wouldn't unlock until I threw the breaker and simultaneously pushed two buttons on the pad for 90 seconds...Took about 6 times... and if anything drips on it by mistake... same deal. What kind of a retarded are engineering these things?

I know it...
Don't get me started on the range...

They definitely didn’t lear the same as us.
