We bought ours in 2014, worked OK for 2 years, First thing to go was the washer drum, nylon bolt that attached the pulley stripped out. A year later the latch mechanism stopped working which locked the system off, new panel would have been half the cost of a new machine. So we bought a new one. Meanwhile we have been using the same Armada dryer since the 90's
Seriously? After going through two Whirlpools and a GE we went and bought the simplest, cheapest washer we could find. A Roper. It was super cheap and is tough as FUCK. No problems for 7 years now. It’s gear driven, so no belts, and it auto-balances so you can wash a comforter by itself. I love it. It’s super loud, though.
Reminds me of what an electrical engineer told me once: ‘the only thing that GE makes that doesn’t suck is their vacuum cleaners.’ This was in a hydro electric plant where half the units were GE.
