Unless you have an expensive machine (e.g.: a front loader), you just don't
pay anything to repair 7 year old washing machines. You just get a new
one.

You were a little unlucky but 7 years is OK for a washing machine.


Yes my machine IS a front loader

I'm not sure I agree that 7 years use out of an $800
front loader was such great longevity
