ole gray 16,893 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Having a bad day or something is not quite right? Let it out here and you may or may not feel better. I had a buddy who just sent me a text asking if I wanted to play golf around 1:00 p.m. today. I had to tell him maybe, because my wife may have to go out of town and someone has to be home as the Samsung Repair man is coming. We have one of those on the list where the washing machine lid could potentially blow off! Anyways one of their service reps is coming out today to repair it. The good thing is it's totally covered via Samsung as it should be. No more of them washers for me as I have already had two previous issues with it. One being under warranty and the last one being a stabilizer bar breaking which happen right after warranty had expired. 4 1 Quote Callaway Epic Flash 10.5 Driver Callaway MAVRIK MAX 3 - wood Callaway Big Bertha 2019 4 & 5 hybrid Callaway Mavrik Max 6 hybrid Tommy Armour 845 MAX 7 - GW Irons Cleveland CBX 2 54 Degree SW Cleveland CBX Full-Face Wedge 58 degree Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 Wide Blade Putter with SuperStoke 3.0 Grip 2021 Official Reviewer: MotoCaddy M7 Link to post Share on other sites
silver & black 5,785 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They do know how to time the warranty just right! I bought a new refrigerator that needed a new $550.00 part 2 days after the warranty expired. Fortunately, my brother is very versed in electrical things and he just rewired and bypassed the faulty part. It's been working for 3 years now. Why do I get the feeling I should have just kept my mouth shut? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do I get the feeling I should have just kept my mouth shut? haha yea it seems the household necessities are programmed to crash after about two years. They crash later than that if you have a one or two year extended warranty on top of the original warranty Heck I was watching the news one night and saw this about the Samsung washing machine lids exploding. Glad I did because I would have shat all over myself if I was walking by the washing machine and the lid flew off! 3 Quote Callaway Epic Flash 10.5 Driver Callaway MAVRIK MAX 3 - wood Callaway Big Bertha 2019 4 & 5 hybrid Callaway Mavrik Max 6 hybrid Tommy Armour 845 MAX 7 - GW Irons Cleveland CBX 2 54 Degree SW Cleveland CBX Full-Face Wedge 58 degree Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 Wide Blade Putter with SuperStoke 3.0 Grip 2021 Official Reviewer: MotoCaddy M7 Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the appliance guys or maintenance guys from the motels will drop off what appears to be a fairly new nice looking washer or dryer. I have had a couple of the guys explain to me about circuit boards and such and it costing more in parts and labor than a new machine will sell for. I know for a fact some of the higher end condos will take out a washer and dryer when the warranty expires and they will still be working.. I know several guys buy those machines and sell them and one of them knows several tricks on bypassing circuit boards and such. I am sorta scared of that thinking they may catch fire or something like that but then again my years as a volunteer fireman may make me paranoid 5 Quote Driver --- Honma G1-X Stock R Flex---- 3W Callaway Steelhead UST Pro Force Gold 65 stiff--- 2 iron 1980 Macgregor VIP Nike R flex-------- Irons 3 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex shafts--- SW Cleveland 588 Sensicore S-400-- Putter Rusty Santa Fe Bulls Eye Fluted shaft-- Bag Old School Hoofer I had in the stash--- Goes along with my raggety persona Link to post Share on other sites

You could drag em behind your pick up truck and they would keep on ticking. They had the spindle doo hickie thing in the middle but that didn't bother me.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quite possibly, but also because no one wants to pay enough for well made appliances. Appliances now cost the same in $s as they did 20 years ago, so much cheaper when you take inflation into account. Most consumer goods now are designed to fail after a reasonably short time. If things are too well made, companies lose future sales, and eventually go out of business by making too good a quality products. 2 Quote G400 SFT Aldila Xtorsion Copper Stiff F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to post Share on other sites

ole gray 16,893 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Going in tomorrow morning to have two more skin cancer's cut out. One close to my right eye and one on the crown of my head. I've had two cut out in earlier years. The good thing is they are basal cell carcinoma's which are no big deal, unless you let them go too long. My rant is my nose will be all swollen, my eye may be blacken and my Birthday is Tuesday.
