are great.I am not pointing any fingers but,the only time I see this occur is when the user(s) slam,instead of close the doors.They do not need slamming.Just a slight push to secure the latch.I don't know why people insist on slamming washer and refrigerator doors.I have a FriGEMore that came in for service a while back and the issue was both the door lock and dispensor tray had been slammed shut so hard against that they broke.The owner was (and stiill is) a moron.He claims that the door wouldn't shut unless it was slammed.That was because they'd pack the thing full not understanding that it was way over the limit.

But not always....I've babied my duet since the day I got it and it still needed a control board after about 16 months. Once that was replaced, I have had no problems. It seems door latch assemblies and control boards along with the spider are common on any brand of FL washer, aside from SQ and Miele.

The door on my Affinity seems to sag a bit and the plastic latch parts are always rubbing against each other. It doesn't require slamming, but it doesn't close easily either. It's about 16 months old too. I'll reserve any statements that would require knocking on wood--I have that little faith in my machine holding up.
I agree that these machines have one of the lowest price points among FL's for a reason. They are not made as well as most, but probably better than GE, which isn't saying much. |
