Well it looks like the folks that design washers and dryers are almost
there. When they get to the end of their design life, they get there
all at once. I swear the next time either of mine break down, I'm
going to cut my losses and toss 'em both out to the curb. It seems
like they are designed to run great for quite a few years, then after
that, it's patch, patch, patch.

Actually I do not have many complaints with Whirlpool. The first repair is
probably due to the wife overloading the machine, the second repair was
probably due to improper leveling, and who can really complain about a $30
pump failing after 12 years?

The dryer I bought at the same time has never even made a funny noise yet.

Including the book I think my expenditures are something like $76. Most of
the grief I had was due either to my ignorance or the fact that I have a
very confined area to work in.

My post wasn't so much of a complaint, but rather I suspected folks would
get a chuckle out of it while remembering back to the time they had been
there done that and got the tee shirt.

they come up with this striped stuff.
