Yea they are easy to fix and now with the internet parts are easy to find.
Doubt that i’ll be buying a new washer or dryer for a loooong time.
Ever since they got rid of those damn belts and transmissions and those frigging Wig-Wags (they call a magnet) and went to direct drives they’re a piece of cake.
The worst part is finding a place to tip them over and work most of what you need to do from the bottom.
If my pump quits (it’s episodic right now, stops every few days) I’ll go to the laundromat. I do at least five loads a day, can’t stop for even a few hours.
