“great..I will have to buy a new car soon..and a washing machine..and it just keeps getting worse”
Maybe you’ll get lucky and the washing machines will revert to their perfectly-functional analog prior configurations.
my washer is from 2006...no fancy dancy electronic options...
same for my car. I figure they will both expire at about the same time
So buy a convertible and do wash on rainy days.
My understanding is that there are still some available.
A friend who owns an appliance repair business told me that the most frequent issue on the washing machine brand that used have a lazy repair man as their mascot is the control board going bad.
