I don't think anyone has ever cleaned this....

Was like a sweater around the coils..

Shockingly it still ran and put out cold air... 21 years old and still kicking

gross

Refrigerator makers got a scam going. The water filters cost $60 a piece. So every 6 years you pay for a new fridge. But you don’t get one !

Hey don't forget to use the foamy spray stuff also. Does that thing run on R22 still?

Do they make replacements for that model? The dirt may have been the only thing keeping the filter from falling apart.

There is no filter on the condenser coils

It was structural dirt😂 I doubt there is any parts for this thing but as long as it runs I'm happy

Dirt-covered filter on an outdoor central HVAC unit.

Yes and also the A-coil which is on the furnace itself. Particularly true if you have pets with fur.

Thank you I'll look into how to do that. Have two cats

and change your filters in your air handler (indoor fan). If you don't have a filter look into having a filter track installed. It will help keep the hair and dirt out of your A-coil...

Good old fashioned mechanical equipment. Wait till they start building these like the new large appliances - 5 year life span, maybe 10 and deadski. I remember my mom's old washer and dry ran for 20+ years and all it needed in that time was a belt. We've gone through 2 fridges, 2 ranges, 3 dishwashers now in 10 years hahaha.

Can confirm. When I bought my first house my parents gifted me their old whirlpool washer and dryer set. A familiar set that I grew up with which was a couple years older than me. I'm 38 and the dryer still works

I have found it's very much the boots theory applies in this case with appliances. Of you pay more you can get something that lasts longer and is reparable. The budget options save you money up front but have to be replaced more often and can't be repaired. Sad but true.

Not true. We bought the top of the line whirlpool dishwasher - brand name, top unit. 5 years, deadski. Replacement parts equated to almost the same price as a new unit not factoring in labour. So we replaced it and bout a cheap one cuz if I have to replace every 5 years, no need for the best

IMHO, dishwashers take up valuable space that could be used for a bigger sink and an instant demand hot water heater. Weirdly, I find washing my dishes by hand to be cathartic.

Goodman already does.

Goodman bought the original company (Janitrol) that did that for probably 40 years before. It's not really a new concept, just more prolific now
