Maybe we should not have allowed such consolidation of companies?

Small companies are quicker and more able to adjust to market condition. Sort of like the difference between a sail boat and ocean liner.

Yes, they sink more easily but if you have a flotilla it really does not matter if a few are lost.

You load everything on one or two big ships and you lose one and you have taken a major hit.

Bigger is not better.

Because we still have weed, toilet paper and internet. Things will be fine.

"Find a whirlpool with a mechanical timer. Easy to fix and will last twenty years. You’ll probably have to buy used. Otherwise get a SpeedQueen"

I have an old Whirlpool.
A couple years ago I took it to the repair shop and the repair cost was a little over $70.00. I talked to the guy about buying a new one and he advised me no. He said you have one of the best ever made and to keep it for the rest of your life, all the new ones are junk.

Take the old one and go to the Local Seal and Bearing Warehouse and if they don’t have it by Part Number then get the measurements and match one up.
You’ll probably find it is a better quality bearing for less money.

During the pandemic there were 250,000 containers stacked up around Shanghai alone. These containers were empty and had to be sent inland to get stocked.

It was like that for months.

Now those containers need to make it on ships, and get over in line to be unloaded.

There are queues in the entire system. This is going to take a while to get up to speed.

The shortages are spotty. They are not “severe.” There is a lot of drama out there lately.

Also the Catalog should list them by size in the back or cross reference them.

"The bearings just went out in the dryer. Repairman says it is on back order."

A few months ago the bearing in my washer tub went bad. I ordered a new set but was sent the wrong ones. I'd disassembled the washer before realizing that. Had an idea - took the old bearings down to my auto parts store that day and bingo - he had exact replacements. Also had a reasonable facsimile of the tub shaft seal. Up and running ever since! So I recommend you get the bearing part numbers for your model and then see if you can get them from an auto parts store. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to.

That’s one I hadn’t heard of.

Much appreciated.

Much appreciated. All this technology and a decent washing machine seems to be almost impossible to build.
