Damn... That's a bummer sigs.

If you can't repair it, I'd do some research before buying a new one. I hear that a lot of them today are crap even though the prices are sky high. I'd try to get one with as few computer parts on it as possible, since most of your repair bills in the future will be because of circuit board problems which may or may not be purposefully built into the products these days.

Knock on wood, but I bought a used Amana Washer/Dryer combo when I first moved here for $325 and they just work. I don't know how old they are, but I've had them for going on 14 years now myself. I'm sure there is a board or two underneath somewhere, but they'd be really simple things since there is nothing but dials and knobs on both machines without even a simple LED or LCD screen anywhere to be found.

I've heard that Amana is crap today though even though they used to be top-tier.

BRENDA


Done for today. Got something for the bath tub drain that I hope will work. Hearing aide office is closed until Tuesday. Wanted to go in and confirm my appointment for next month. Sign on the door they are closed because their receptionist is on holiday.


Also went into a store that sells used books and new along with vinyl records. I went in their looking for an album and found another one I want but I came out with a Dr. Who book. They do some publishing so I will take a look at their web site. Owner of the shop said take a look and maybe we can talk. Told him a bit about my book then we got onto other things. Think I spent over 10 minutes in that store. That is why I told him his store is bad. He said we try not to be bad. To me it is.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

According to the internet, Speed Queen (yes, they still make them!) and LG are both reliable. I'm leaning to Speed Queen cause my sis has a 30 year old machine.
In the meantime, it's the laundromat.

Oh... Speed Queen... Cool. I never heard of that brand before, but when I looked online it mentioned them specifically as one of the only brands you can still buy that aren't loaded up with a bunch of computer crap that you don't need. Hopefully you can snag one for a good price though because it sounds like you probably can't buy them at your local big box store and it might be special order.


I like this post that I saw from somebody on Reddit...

My washer and dryer came with my house—a 1990’s Maytag washer and an early 2000’s Amana dryer. You can pry my laundry set from my cold dead hands. In fact I will put them in my will to make sure they stay in the family. Heirlooms
