Yep, typically all the parts are made in bulk as in...
Company: Build me 1 million washing machines. Of course this is 1 million barrels, controller boards, frames, etc.
The people building the parts are going to build in a little bit of overrun to deal with warranty and factory damage, but there simply isn't enough extra stock laying around to keep them running for decades.
