BROKEN WASHER Kelly I wish I were closer, these MTs are so easy to fix and I have parts for them coming out of my ears. Maybe it could be sent to Andy in Nevada I sure that he could also repair it with little trouble. If you are going to buy new washer get a SQ TL or FL washer and be done with it for a long time Good Luck John. | ||

 Kelly,
It sounds as if you're about to become stuck between a rock and a hard place. As I see it, you have more options than you list
- try to get her machine fixed again (how much money to throw at is another question) - try and find a near identical machine that's been looked after to prevent 'culture shock' - as suggested 'donate' your 806 to a worthy cause. At least it's the same brand, and because of its age and her familiarity with older things it may be a sound option (Am I correct in thinking a form of Dementia exists here where years ago is like yesterday but yesterday can't be remembered?) - consider spending money on a new, modern machine that replicates the functions, if not the noises of the old one (Speed Queen may be your only option) - go part way to testing the limits of your own sanity with an old style, yet modern front loader (2140?) - go the whole hog and shock the living daylights out of her with a modern 'bling' front load machine.
My mothers 71 and is only just on her 3rd washing machine since 1968 (68/89/09)....she still took a couple of months to get comfortable with the latest as she had gone from seperate functions for programme and temperature, no display and different cycle additions to electonics, single dial and less additions....
If her machine is not an economically viable propostition, what would she like to do? | ||
