Is the idea just faintly feasible that you two bought those appliances at about the same time and therefore they are approximately the same age and that just possibly they have reached the end of their trouble-free lives?

Personally, as a woman, I have difficulty in comprehending how I could damage

the clothes drier.
my hairdryer.
the shower...
the microwave..
the fridge door..
the tumble drier..

How does one do that, pray tell?
