The Kenmores do a fair job, the washer leaks a little. I`m guessing early 80s. They were really dirty!

For their age, these look like they are in very nice shape. Sounds like you might need a new pump on the washer to cure the slight leak, pull the cabinet off and check for water "trails" to find the source. I know a foster-mother of 9 who has this same washer, bought it new in 92 I think and has been using it with only a coupler and agitator-dog kit replaced. Still washing 5 huge loads a day...

Kelly, I agree about the quality of the older Maytags...don't know enough about the last series (not even evil Whirlpool could pull all of them that fast and replace them with their junk) but if I may make a suggestion... The frontload washer with the dryer on top combination is very common here in Europe. Since the dryers often have to be condensing - no place to vent - they and the washer often end up in a cabinet or tight corner someplace. You have a bigger washer, a bigger dryer - and much better reliability than anything modern made in the 'States right now. But if you can find some clasic units, go for them! (I ran a Miele cold-water condensing dryer over a Bauknecht for 6 years and was very happy with them. The weight of the dryer was no problem, the washer frame was built to take it and the extra mass sure dampend any tendency to "walk" the machine might have had on my ancient floors. Just a thought... | ||
