Why is that?Do NOT get one made by Electrolux (they also manufacture some Kenmore, and all Frigidaire models) with an "X" pattern stamped in the rear sheet metal cover.
But you didn't hear that from me... h34r:
I agree. Our washer is only about 10 and seems to working fine. I've repaired this dryer for the last time. Actually, the problem is pretty minor (the felt "gasket" between the stationary part of the dryer and the rotating drum let go) but I'm just going to spend any more time/money keeping it alive.We recently got new washer and dryer. If possible, I think it would be wise to replace the pair if they are 20 years old. We got LG large-capacity front-load washer and matching dryer. The washer spins enough water out of the laundry that the dryer only takes about 60% of the time our old one did. Wash cycle is a little longer, but uses a very small amount of water.
yeah, why is that?Do NOT get one made by Electrolux (they also manufacture some Kenmore, and all Frigidaire models) with an "X" pattern stamped in the rear sheet metal cover.

I hear you. Like I said the current Maytag is at least 20 years old. I replaced a couple of plastic baskets and the lint filter. I must be about 5 years now since I replaced the drive belt, the gas solenoid, and the igniter. Right after I replaced those the thing wouldn't fire. I noticed a sensor that detects the glow of the igniter before tripping the solenoid to the gas line. I figured it had to be the only other thing that could be wrong. I went to the parts store and asked the guy if it was worth it to replace it or if I should just get a new machine. He confirmed that I replaced everything else so why not. Put a new sensor in and got another 5 years out of it. The frugal engineer in me says - just get the gasket and get it running again. The lazy bastard in me says just get a new machine and be done screwing with this one.I've got a Maytag thats 17 years old, when it goes I will certainly buy another one.(maytag that is)
