The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    The fridge. If you close it too hard or too soft, it ends up not closed, but a fingers’ width open.

      IIRC a trick you can do is take a heat gun (or failing that a hair dryer) and warm up the magnet gasket border thing. Then close the door and leave it for a bit. Something about it better forming to the correct shape and making a better and more consistent seal.

      Couldn’t hurt!

      I have a Samsung that I passionately despise. While it seems to cool fine, they designed an ice maker that either fails and leaks or jams itself with ice so it renders itself unusable.

      If I paid a premium price, why can’t I just get a modest functional ice maker?

        Smart idea. I know, because I tried it already. Didn’t really work (a slight inclination didn’t work, and I didn’t want to tile it more).
