BuzzKillington Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 So anyway, my hot water heater quit heating water. I looked for a pilot to light but there was a big warning on the side: DO NO attempt to light pilot! It was beeping and flashing warning lights and stuff, so I shut off the gas, unplugged it and called the service guy. Old guy shows up and the first thing he notices is my air conditioner....he goes: HEY! How old is that thing? And I goes: Oh, 25-30 years old. He nods knowingly. Down in the laundry room he notices the washing machine! "HEY! how old is that thing?" And I said "over 20 years old". He adds "Yep, that's a good one. The new stuff today is all junk, you're lucky to get 7 or 8 years before needing a new one." I said "Yeah, but that's a Maytag! The Maytag repair man is the loneliest guy in the world!" He says "Nope, even Maytag isn't Maytag anymore, they were bought by Whirlpool and they're all junk." The old guy knows his stuff (heating and cooling tech). It's a disposable world. No wonder there's a ton of garbage floating in the Pacific gyre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
