They can take my piece of fecal 4 year old Duet with them.

Should have bought a Kenmore. Last one was trouble free for 15 years before we did the remodel and wanted a cool front loader. $800.00 for new motor & control unit and now it’s shutting off without finishing the cycle. The wife gives it @10 mins and hits the start button and it takes off again.

We have a Duet too and haven’t had a single problem with it in the 5 years we’ve had it. I keep wondering if those of us with good ones got the ones made in the USA and the not so good ones were Mexican made?

BTW the Kenmore is made by Whirlpool.

We bought a Kenmore Washer and Dryer back in 1988 when we bought our first house. Both survived three moves and six months in storage. The dryer finally gave up the ghost a few years ago, and we replaced it with a Piece of Excrement Whirlpool whose heating core went out in under two years. After the service call etc we would have been better off buying a new dryer (I could not convince my wife of this). The washer is still hanging in, and we will continue to use it until it dies.

I hate having to replace my older appliances. The stuff made 20 years ago is so much better quality than what I can get now days. I still have my 16 year old mower, and I plan to fix it even though we bought a replacement mower. I just don’t think the replacement is going to last very long.

Whirlpool made most Kenmore white goods for many years. Probably still do.

I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator last year and it crapped out in one day. Menard’s had it back on the floor within the week. Never again.
