Thanks Thanks for the feedback! Ideally, I'd like them to get a Speed Queen, but that probably isn't in the cards financially at the moment. | ||

OR...
You could repair and save your money AND have a better machine in the long run probably.
I would put money on something got in the pump and the motor can't start. I worked on one just last month that did this. They had washed a pillow and the stuffing got into the pump and wound around the impeller. The motor would hum and sometimes just stop but most of the time kick the 15 amp breaker it was connected to. easy fix, $35 for a VERY easy to change pump. Even if they had to pay a repairman to come over, the repair would probably be reasonable. With this machine though at least you can have to a decent rinse. I'd still take WP over this. -Tim | ||

NEW WP BELT DRIVE WASHER I think they will probably be very satisfied with this washer, even though I would have gone with a SQ FLer or a SQ TL if money is tight. The good thing about the new WP compared to the SQ TL is that even if the WP only lasts a half dozen years the energy savings will more than pay for the washer over this time compared to using the SQ TLer. | ||

WP There is one of the WP models I would not mind having, it may the one your parents bought and that you linked to. It's a lower end model with a full agitator and the rinse fill selection. Maybe in a couple of years I can find one on the cheap used and then make my own assessment. I think Jamie has one and put a different agitator in it. It's really the low water levels and wash-plates that I have issue with. I don't care for the machine's lack of brake, but the machine that Jamie posted still whipped a Frigidaire so I guess it's not terrible.
