Manufacturers sometimes make things as difficult as possible

Tweet

We recently purchased a new fridge after the compressor in our five-year-old one ‘failed to compress!’ We needed to register the new one with the manufacturer. So they needed all sorts of details which weren’t on the documentation that came with the unit. Their website told us where to find the information panel on the side of the lower freezer cabinet wall. There are two freezer drawers but the top one doesn’t come out. If you pull it out as far as you can, you can see the manufacturer’s plate, tucked up half hidden by the drawer. Do they put it there purposely to make it as difficult as possible to read? You’d have to think so. Vince had to lay on his side with his head half in the cabinet and try to manipulate his phone to take a photo of the plate. It was the only way to read it. Maybe they’d prefer people didn’t register their appliances then they wouldn’t have to worry about replacement/repair if something goes wrong. When Vince went to get up, he’d scraped the skin on his elbow and there was quite a patch of blood on the floor. Being on blood-thinners and now being elderly and having this skin means he bleeds easily. So that was our excitement for the day. Movies at the clubhouse tonight. Photo is mine.
