Am I wrong?

I have lived at my current add for almost 2 years. I have paid rent on time every month and i have even made improvements to the home ( got the carpets cleaned) However the refrigerator broke down twice and my roommate and i lost all our groceries TWICE. both time it took more than a week to get the landlord to have someone repair it. We never received any reimbursement for our lost food. The dishwasher and stove have not worked since i moved in, in fact the dishwasher reeks of mold and rotten animal fat, it only sloshes around dirty water. A written complain about the oven and stove was hand delivered to the land lord ( who lives in the bottom unit) yet 20 months after my move in nothing had been done to replace them. Isn’t my rent supposed to cover those expenses? Since i pay my own utilities? Would i be wrong to take my next few rent checks and buy my own major appliances?
