Cheap Refrigerator question
I'm thinking about buying a cheap refrigerator to replace the junk one in our travel trailer which has been a problem for years.
Anyways, Do the engineers who make refrigerators design them to last a certain number of hours of use? Like vacuum cleaners and many other things now days, they will fail after a certain number of hours used? I should mention I'm talking about house refrigerators.
My question, In theory... if cheap refrigerators are designed to last just saying 3-4 years of continuous use, and since we only use our travel trailer maybe 3-4 weeks a year, will a cheap refrigerator last more than the 3-4 years since it will be shut off 90% of the time? I realize moisture and humidity and corrosion could be a factor also.
At my age I don't need one to last 20 years, if it will last 10 years I'd be happy. So why spend $1000 on one if a $350 refrigerator will last just as long being used very little.
