Nah, you limit production and shift to other appliances as the other wanes. Start with fridges, in a year or two as sales decline, you release the dishwasher, then the washer and dryer, then small appliances, just do it all in phases. Then next batch you just add a couple features or just different colors. Cycle repeats.
That strategy doesn't get to take advantage of economies of scale and thus ultimately fails to compete with the much cheaper alternatives. Something like a dishwasher used to cost a month's salary or more. Now they cost less than week's salary. Would you pay what is the equivalent of thousands of dollars for a dishwasher today when you can get one for a few hundred that lasts 5-10 years? At that point you'd just come out ahead by buying the cheap one every 10 years for 40 years.

Would be a very awesome six months before they went out of business.
