re: Appliances - Throw Away

I'm convinced either the house was built on an old graveyard and is haunted or there is an electrical gremlin, some kind of power fluctuation that is damaging the circuit boards. As an added note, I replaced light bulbs in the house weekly. Those GE light bulbs that say they are good for 13 years is absolute crap. I pop those bulbs if 3-4 months.

Do you need more evidence that you have an electrical issue in your house? ALL of those things don't suck. Not that bad at least. You need to get the electrical stuff looked at sooner rather than later. An electrical fire can start at any time and any place in the house.

Are you serious?

Your problem isn't the lights and appliances; the problem is that you apparently would rather set tens of thousands of dollars on fire than call an electrician once

Have not read the whole thread so someone may have said this, but it is possible your house is having “voltage spikes.” Some appliances don’t handle fluctuations well, as explained by a repair guy to a friend having similar issues. There is some kind of monitoring device you can install that might prove it, might not. But a whole home surge protector was the recommendation that guy made to protect all your stuff if that’s what is going on.
