phillygrl:
If you will look very closely at every new machine on the market, you will find that none of them match what you have in terms of construction quality. Most materials in most machines today are lighter and flimsier than what you have. You will find that today's machines use electronic timers, which have a tendency to fail due to power surges. When they go bad, replacement is usually the only option- WHEN the part is still available. Since you're in a rural area, you may be prone to power outages, surges, and the like (and you may not be). Last of all, today's energy-saver and water-usage requirements mean that today's front-loading machines run very long wash cycles- well over an hour in some cases. Do you have time for that? Something to consider. There are also lots of stories about new machines that leave big dry spots on clothes, where the tiny amount of water used never reached, after a long wash cycle. This tendency varies from brand to brand. Please do your homework, and remember- the machines you have are paid for! New ones will cost you at least a grand. | ||

Phillygirl - that was nice of you to seek out a potential adoptive home for your washer & dryer. Everyone has an opinion about appliances - and many will differ vastly as you have found. I have used and worked on these Frigidaire/Electrolux front-load washers and have been quite impressed with their quality. The great majority of owners will sing their praises, but, as can be expected with any subject matter, you'll also hear a plethora of wife's tales and myths concerning performance and related issues. Buy what you think will best suit your needs and budget, learn to use it as the manufacturer recommends and enjoy your new appliances! | ||

Frigidaire Affinity does heat in every cycle, according to a
I will differ with Sears on these, based upon user reviews and comments from the other appliance forums I keep up with. The Affinity 7000 washer only uses the optional heater on the sanitary cycle, none of the other cycles. Is the Frigidaire Affinity the only front loader form Sears that will fit in the space limitations? I am guessing so, unfortunately. Download the user manual for the 7000 Affinity model and you will see, cycle time wise, the Sanitary cycle is the only one that does use th heater. Even the Whites cycle isn't as long as the Kenmore He2T, Whirlpool Duet Sport HT and on those two machines, the heater is used to maintain 127 to 130 degree hot water temp. Their Sanitary cycle heats to 153 degrees. The Frigidaire Affinity 7000 model only heats to 140 degrees. The Affinity 6000 model doesn't even have the heater.

Philly Girl
Good luck on your new set. Those old Westy's are great, but you will love how dry your laundry comes out of the new Frigidaire with its high speed spin. I bought a Frigidaire FL eight years ago that my son now uses and it has never needed a repair. Let us know what you think after you use your new set.
