    I mean the lack of reliability in modern refrigerators isn’t because the better refrigerants and insulators and electronics are less reliable than electro-mechanical systems, it’s because they use the absolute cheapest shit in the control boards, position them where they are exposed to humidity, and then duplicate that 4+ times to have different cooling zones.

    There’s a reason chest freezers last forever and are much cheaper than the refrigerator you put in your kitchen.
