I been repairing every washer I’ve ever had for decades. They aren’t that hard to fix. The biggest problem you can have is when the tub stem is rusted and leaking. All the rest is not bad to fix at all.
Last time my daughter called about her washer, she’d overloaded it until a sock bypassed the tub screens and went over the outer shell and got sucked into the pump. It took about 30 minutes to replace the pump. Just needed room to tip the washer over and change the pump. There are videos all over how to do that.
Shut up, you. I almost have her willing to marry me for a washing machine!
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.
