hahahaha! That’s what I was just saying to my husband.

I have told him if our washer starts to go kapoot, we will pay whatever fortune for the parts to repair it.

I am NOT using those rotten new washers. My MIL had to get a new one and she says she now has to ‘play’ with her clothes.

we actually got a new washer and dryer this year. did research, found ones that washer is top loader w/stainless basket, but more efficient and quieter, without computer touch settings - these fail or break with power problems and dryer was basic dryer. too many problems with the front loaders so those never made the first cut.

As previously explained, I replaced our ~38 yr old Dishwasher with a 35 yr old one I had stored in the basement after we used it for 2 years in the previous house before moving ~33 yr ago.

It works great and like the one it replaced washes the dishes in under a half hour when it then goes into an optional dry mode for less than another half hour.
