I will put it out here for anyone to use...
In 16 years in this house I have bought 3 washer/dryer pairs 2 refrigerators and a freezer , 2 microwaves a dishwasher and one oven...
All killed by lightning or power surges caused by transformers (buried electric in my neighborhood) cycling on and off quickly in hurricanes,, all failures were electronic ...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start making the old style mechanically controlled appliances ,, NO CIRCUIT BOARDS ,, it works for Speed Queen (my next washer/dryer) ... they work far better and you will absolutely KILL your competition ,, maybe add them as a “premium” line..
That is all.
YES!!!
After three mainboards and a trick, variable speed, multi-phase motor controller, I junked my super-dooper, high tech front loader and got an old, mechanical top loader off of craiglist. No more problems.
