Whatever you buy, I would not have it delivered by the same shipping company as screwed up your last order. Frozen???!!! From the sound of it, you had a top loader washer. These stackables from Whirlpool have a very good reputation and are about as good as any American built machine in 2008 is going to be. The problems you are having there either show a precipitate decline in quality or serious damage. The only way to get decent drying times (I said decent, not satisfactory) out of stackables is to buy a front loader which spins at not less than 1200 rpm and a 220V dryer with as much over 3.0 cu ft. capacity as possible. If you have the space, Bosch or Miele. If space/money is a problem, look at the "FriGEMores" (those machines from Electrolux which go for between 350 and 750 dollars for the identical same machine, depending on what label is stuck on it and how much people still believe in brand names). I have worked on several in the US and they clean very well, dry decently, have been in production long enough for their worst problems to be worked out...and are enormously more reliable than the US built stuff. That said, I would insist that the machines be installed and the installers stick around until they have proved that they work. Oh, LG is a great brand here in Europe, but I would stay well away from them in the US, their customer service is run by in-duh-vi-duals who delight in screwing the customers over. |

Lemon. Take them back while you still can. Where did you get the machine? I purchased a Kenmore washer and dryer 5 years ago from Sears. After 6 months I decided I just did not like them. Sears gave me a full refund and I bought Maytag Neptunes front loader instead. Sears was great about the exchange. The even exchanged the extended warranty. Jim |

Take them back immediately and insist on new ones. Preferably from another vendor! We have the whirlpool ones and they work great! |
