Thank you for the info and one thing that i have notice with my duet is sometime when i use tide he the washer says suds when the cycle is over even if there is not much detergent and i also have a feeling that in 2 years from now i will have to replace the washer i would go back to a good old fashion top load with agitator.

I had a similar pair of Duets and thought the washer was a great machine and did an excellent job on whatever type of load, not just bulky items. In fact, I found the "Bulky Items" cycle to be fairly useless and I avoided it. I would trade my inept Affinity pair for those Duets if only the Duets would fit in my current laundry room. I suspect a pair of Duets would outlast an Affinity pair by a significant margin. It may be a while before those Duets need replacing, and even then it would only be the washer.

i don't know why but i have an intuition that i may soon have to replace them and if that is the case i would go with a top load maytag washer with agitator with matching dryer and if ever i do have to replace them with a top load here is a list of brands that i am tking of buying in the topload category depending where i would buy them 1 Maytag 2 Kenmore (if i buy the set at sears*) 3 fridgedair topload model with agitator with warm rinse option and extra rinse 4-Ge (?){maybe} 5-whirlpool/Inglis among the five brands listed witch do you think that i should buy in my personel choice my first choice is maytag and my second choice the kenmore |

My model was built oct 2004 in Germany. It looks identical to that pic. It's a GHW9300 with the heater. I've used it A LOT! It's my only washer. The control board went out after a year; since it was replaced, it's worked flawlessly. It will be 5 years old this April. I keep it plugged into a surge protector. My house is a single story on a concrete slab so when it spins it's almost always very smooth. Occasionally it will have vibration but not too bad. Never had any smells at all. Wish I had a bulky cycle to use more water, but my model is the one below that "at the time" and mine lacks it. My sister works for Whirlpool so I got a discount when I purchased it in apr 2005 and I think I paid 770 for it. There has been one repair for $99 dollars which was a misdiagnosed door latch assembly (still have the new door latch in my attic in the box it came in) Looking back I shouldn't have had to pay that but oh well. A few months later, it was found that it was the control board which was replaced since it was still under manufacturers warranty; been fine since.

Pierre, I have a black lab and have never had a problem with pet hair removal between the washer and dryer everything comes out free of dog hair. I highly recommend them. Mike |

My model was built oct 2004 in Germany. It looks identical to that pic. It's a GHW9300 with the heater. today this washer model is discontinuted that means that if its break i would have to buy a new one since that the fixing cost would be the price of a new washer.Not true. I checked several online sources for model GHW9300. Parts are listed and available. Prices for the circuit boards range from $153 to $258 depending on which board and which source ... can a new equivalent machine can be had for those prices? |

When my duet set breaks because i am starting to have problems with my duet washer when i wash in it a petbed i notice that some pet hair has begun to enter in the mechanisim and that when it reach the final spins its start spinning then stop for a pause and then restart and another problem i notice with my duet washer is when i open the detergent drawer to let it dry wather go inside the machine a bit so i think that before 2010 is over i will have a Huebsch washer and dryer set
