Trapped by a "durable" good
My Bosch dishwasher is slowly tearing up our china and glassware. I've never been happy with how it loads -- wide gaps prevent much from being loaded in it, and what can go in it doesn't fit snugly. Every few days, we discover a new chip. I want to trash the whole thing, but that would be wasteful, to send a "working" large appliance to a landfill. Problem is, I can't fix it. It's not that a part is broken, it's the design that's broken. I want to rip out the inside and replace it entirely.
