To be fair, it’s a testament to the engineering and design that it didn’t go up!
I have often gone on about parts that are designed to fail or, designed to fail in a certain way that to us and customers can look as if they’re a pile of poo but it’s entirely intentional that they fail the way the do.
I first discovered this with Candy Inox door catches talking to one of the techs… God, I’m getting old!
