Just found out a speeding ticket is being reduced to a non-moving violation in response to a letter writen. Still, $50.

Re: Unexpected Expenses
I'd be interested in any consumer advice you may find, as I think I may need to replace mine soon too. It recently refused to drain, but the problem turned out to be that the switch that detects if the lid is closed was broken. I was able to fix that, sort of, with some superglue. Now the switch is just stuck down, which is pretty much fine by me. Anyway, I figure this is a sign that I may need a replacement soon.Freed Roger wrote:Damn it. need a new washing machine.

Re: Unexpected Expenses
our timer mechanism is spent. Sometimes it works ok, sometimes it just fills and overflows. The other night I woke up at 3 am wondering why someone was doing laundry still, and lo and behold it had been running for hours and pouring over. Then the next load works fine. then the next two don't. We had it ckd out and the guy who we trust says it isn't worth fixing.Arthur Dent wrote:I'd be interested in any consumer advice you may find, as I think I may need to replace mine soon too.

As far as consumer advice for a new one - I'm not much help with laundry piling up in a hurry. My wife is going to pick one out with one word of advice to her - it doesn't have to look pretty (colorful expensive frontloader). We will avoid GE since we have had two go bad in the last 5 yrs.

Re: Unexpected Expenses
As far as major appliances, especially washers & dryers, it has been my experience that you can't beat Kenmore. I've purchased used ones that have lasted at least 10 years or more.Freed Roger wrote:our timer mechanism is spent. Sometimes it works ok, sometimes it just fills and overflows.
