There are no more Calypsos available, unless Whirlpool has a hidden stash of them, so a replacement machine would likely be a Cabrio. Majority of mechanical and electronic parts are still currently available but prices are increasing and they're likely to start going NLA in the next year or two. Extended warranties, like any insurance, are a gamble. Considering the cost of a touch panel, machine control board, motor board, or pump ... the warranty would be a good investment if something did go wrong. |

I had the GE extended warranty on my Calypso......
several good points about it: It didn't start until the manufacturers warranty ran out all money would be refunded to me if I never used the warranty for the full term after 3 service calls they would replace said machine...... now my machine did give me an error code, service man called to say he ordered the control board parts, GE decided it was too expensive to repair, sent me a check for the original purchase price of the machine..$600.00 plus tax......all I really have to do is unplug the unit once in a while and it works fine..... so if your fine print is like this it may be worth it, or consider this for your next purchase! |

Now I am surprised that after paying out $600+ to you they didn't come by and retrieve said washer. |
