I had a washing machine that was a complete train wreck. After it broke about 3 times, I did the research and figured out how to fix it myself instead of calling the repair guy. It kept breaking (apparently this model is famous for having problems with its control boards and sensors). After I fixed it about 5 times in 5 years, I was done. I did the research and purchased a new Speed Queen commercial washer. These are the units they have in laundromats. You can buy them without the coin-operated part. They are designed to work all day, every day. They are build strong. And you can repair them. You can buy every gear and cog inside this unit and repair it yourself. It will outlive me and my kids will fight over it. Fuck planned obsolescence.
