That was just the answer I didn't want to hear. What ever replaces it will be a front loader. His sister has an LG which she packs a weeks worth of laundry in a load. Sometimes the middle of the load isn't even wet. It has run for two years without a repair. | ||

It's Done Like so many 40 years old and younger it doesn't matter. In, out, done. Guess what? My advice is not appreciated. | ||

Disney World Complex
I call this the "Disney World Complex". People who are not of "our world" see so many "magical" and "spiritual" things happen so fast with no explanation why.So, they assume everything will happen magically.You open the door,pack the washer,dishwasher,clothes dryer full of clothes and/or dishes slam the door shut, pour lots of detergent,half a box or bottle if need be,smack the control board and just walk away.Magically,in 30 minutes to an hour and a half,everything's done. all you do then is remove the clothes and pack the dryer full including the loose change and other lost pieces in unchecked pockets,set the dryer timer for two or three hours on high,instead of using its auto-dry settings and/or wait until the next day to remove them so they stink from souring.Then, slam the washer door shut so it will get mildew all inside and around the rubber boot.That way,in one or two years,they can get a newer model to abuse and destroy.
The Miele I found at Smith's is a perfect example of this. A 4 year old EXPENSIVE clothes washer AND matching electric dryer (yea,I bought it.. Couldn't resist.Charley let me have it for $150 instead of $400) going to the dump. Even if I had to PAY to get the washer repaired or just buy the part and install it myself,I would have taken them.Anyone stupid enough to buy something that expensive and just toss it out replacing it with a used cheap Roper washer and dryer, and has this Disney disorder, doesn't deserve a laundry pair as nice as these.I am sure everyone here who knows me or knows of me,is aware that these beauties did find a great home and a fabulous new "Daddy" who will take great care of them and keep them in perfect health. | ||

NEW FL WASHER Get a SQ FL washer there is no other washer made for home use that is even 1/2 as good in terms of construction quality. A SQ FLer is designed to last 25,000 loads and in a home doing 10 loads per week thats about 48 years. These machines have the best warranty in the industry with everything being covered for 3 years P&L and other major parts covered for 5 years. | ||

Neptunes
probably because they are becomming so abundant in my area, I have dug in and tore them down to about nothing and put them back to gether, and with the help of guys here at AW, have replaced bearrings 2 times, they wash and rinse well, use enough water.....I would have preferred front controls for a counter top, but these will do.... the first set I bought brand new in 2001......all the others I got off CL for 100.00 for the sets.......the last one I got was still in shipping straps, was only used for display staging, never plugged in...working on a fourth set....and maybe one for a backup or parts.... | ||

SQ FL WASHER Kelly which SQ FL washer did you have? the current big door models have gone to a 24 minute wash period, and if thats not enough get the model with the heater which can boost the wash time to well over 35 minutes depending on water temp and load size. You can even set the machine to fill on cold and then switch to boosted hot and get an hour long wash cycle, I can't imagine how any modern machine can work any better, and believe me I have used hundreds of washers in my own home. | ||

Sir, You've Been Upgraded Albert Lee called today and said the 94 series is so far into back order because of the Consumer Reports article Whirlpool is offering the 95 series at no extra charge. It will be delivered tomorrow. | ||
