May 2013

Eight years old and not worth repairing. It just sucked, bad smells, broken door latches (at $125 a pop), and leaky door seals. When its controller died, a $375.00 bill just for the part, I threw in the towel. I bought a new top loader to replace it, with a mechanical timer to run it.

Oh, and mine was a Kenmore.
