I moved into a brand new apartment at the end of July and the dryer didn't work. Sent in a maintenance request and after 4 weeks they just brought in a new unit instead of waiting for the part needed to fix it.

Well, except for the fact that the vast majority of chips aren't made here.

Global supply shortages are a bitch. It's shortages on even materials to make things.

What has changed with regard to demand for replacing broken household appliances?
They all have semiconductors in them. Chips are in anything and everything electrical.

Ida took out my fridge and won’t get it delivered until the second week of October…living out a mini fridge blows
There were a few posters here saying they were going to tape up their fridge and put it at the street before evacuating, and I just kept thinking how terrible of an idea that sounds considering the supply issues we are facing. I'd have been emptying that thing out before leaving.

I'm curious what current government restrictions are preventing someone from receiving a purchases fridge, oven, or new HVAC in a time fashion, or the manufacturers from producing them?

My 2019 Sierra broke down on me a few weeks ago. I was told by the dealership that it was a fuel pump module and that I may be without my truck until next Spring due to the part being on backorder. After I bitched for about a week they called and told me that my truck was fixed.

Yeah, no shite.
With supply chain issues, you could just as easily blame companies that scaled back production in the early stage of the pandemic in anticipation of lowered demand, then couldn't catch up after.

I know you didn’t look into this much before posting your bitch rant. But, since a lot of people are moving to suburbs, didn’t take vacation Bc of Covid, got stimmy checks etc. those home improvement and appliance manufactures are doing about twice the volume they were doing in January 2020 and raw materials can’t keep up with demand.

That’s not Bc you don’t want to, it’s Bc you know your wrong for being so impatient. That’s why your bitching here.

Nah, I'm adult enough to recognize it's no one individual's "fault." I just hope it's not a systematic issue going forward.

You can thank all the Dim's and leftist for electing that fricking cuck Biden for the shortage.

Lolz. Caught me! I’m the one in China producing semi conductors, plastics, and glass.

I’m afraid your concerns are correct. We should have not created a system that relied on foreign countries to make most of our goods.
Posted on 9/27/21 at 2:28 pm to Devilsturn
You definitely have some built up resentment for "customers" though. You install and repair appliances?
Posted on 9/27/21 at 2:30 pm to GRTiger
Nope.
