Who designs KitchenAid appliances – engineers or accountants?
Posted By RichC on February 25, 2012
While cleaning out our KitchenAid refrigerator and freezer on Saturday, I wondered “what were the design engineers thinking” when they used corrosive fittings?
For all the years companies have been designing and building ice makers which operate in moisture prone environments, one would think someone might have suggested spending a few more pennies on stainless steel or even nylon fittings. I don’t think the rust has affected the taste of of the ice or caused any harm, but I can’t say the design flaw has me recommending KitchenAid appliances. Then again, the same can be said for the grade of stainless steel in our newish Bosch dishwasher (a little rust is appearing on the door edges — grr).
