*Have you ever noticed your appliance breaks down just after the warranty period?*
In this video, I team up with Victor, an engineer at Gottak in Barcelona, to run lab tests on oven selector switches both from Gottak and other manufacturers. Using professional lab equipment, we simulate heat, mechanical stress and electrical loads to see how and when these components fail.
We show you the exact testing methods, real-time graphing results and side-by-side comparisons. The results? SHOCKING. Some selector switches fail catastrophically before even hitting 5,000 rotations far below what's needed for a basic 2-year lifespan.
More importantly, we explain why this happens: cost-cutting by manufacturers who choose the cheapest possible parts, even if it means sacrificing durability. Cheap Parts = Big Profits!
