I never knew it would be this hard to find a replacement for my 18-yr old medium-sized Kenmore front |

To give a little more context to Yogi's response...these Frigidaire-made units were made by the hundreds of thousands, and are relatively easily available used, and if you look really hard you might be able to find one NOS (brand new). They were offered under multiple brand names (Frigidaire/Gibson/Kenmore/GE and probably others). It looks like they fit perfectly for your space, and because of that you might even want to get a couple if you've got basement space. Look at all the nearby resources (used appliance stores, FB, CL, etc) and buy the best couple you can find. They will all stack perfectly with the existing dryer. Happy hunting---they were a very good product.
I know the pain of having a perfectly-fitting kitchen messed up with the failure of an appliance---my folks (granted 40 years ago) had a 24 inch GE stove from the '50s next to a standard dishwasher, which allowed adequate space for a pass-through to the outside back door (6" more stove would have ruined access). |

Update: the seller has not replied to my text regarding a used set for sale on Craigslist. |

Just a thought, how about moving the laundry back down to the basement, can have full size machines next to each other. You can open the kitchen back up have the window exposed again and gain more counter space. Jon |
