Manny had this one at the shop, which is only two or three years old, and I just couldn't resist. |

When the machine runs, you can't hear a thing unless it's draining or in the final high-speed spin... |

With a perfect line halfway up the glass... The water-level control has been adjusted up (UP) a hair. |

Note that Roger is about to lose his arm to the commercial Westy. I wonder if he'll sue? |

Very nice machine Ross, you are going to enjoy using this one. I bet you boys had a fun little mini wash-in. |

Ross, just like mine, (almost). I suggest you lower the water level just a bit, to where it just begins to come up the window indentation. I find with medium or large loads, the machine struggles to get the load rolled over with too much water. I also worry about what the extra weight does to the suspension system and the drum suports. And you'ere right, only time you hear it is pump-out or final spin. What was "wrong" with it that it ended up at manny's?

You'll love that front-loader. It's an inexpensive little workhorse. I had a front-controlled Frigidaire model from 1996-2002 and it's still being used to do laundry for three apartments. I bought the rear-control Frigidaire model when I moved to a house in 2002. The capacity isn't as great as a Duet or most other very large machines, but it's big enough for my needs. |

Roger, I have had all of the models this unit came under and the only one that crapped out on me was the Kenmore Elite.All but that one were freeto take.In 2000 I paid $1099 for the Kenmore and regreted it to this day.I did not buy the $399 insurance and just 14 months after the day I purchased it,the tub berrings went on it!!!The repair cost would have been around $800!!!!!!!I do the same thing with my front loaders and be sure the water is about 1/3 up the window.It REALY makes a difference! |
