There's not that much that goes wrong with them that can't easily be fixed. Everyone I've had over 4 decades has been replaced simply because the washer has failed. We given (if not all) to family, friends or charity since they still worked. |

Over the years I've replaced heating element, belt and rollers, and the temp sensors. Unfortunately the matching washer gave up the ghost about 10 yrs ago. |

Family was military and shipped overseas. Price was decent at the maytag store which also sells used refurbished appliances. 150$ which includes delivery and haul away of the old one. Has a little cosmetic damage but nothing horrible and not rusted or anything like that. xxcarol |

The old one had lasted 13 years. I moved into my house 12 years ago. The dryer was there and is still going strong. I think it's a Kenmore. There are only two of us in the house though so it gets run once a week for a few cycles. |
