For about 6 months now I’ve known my old 1993 Maytag was dying. It leaks, and the mobile repair guru said “usable, but start looking”. The repair cost was estimated to be close to a new machine’s cost.
He suggested a Whirlpool direct drive washer, although the better models he said, were last made in 2010.
Although I’ve always had a top loader, I really don’t care. I want long term reliability.
We’re a family of 5 still at home, with regular washing of one load daily, and some days 4 loads.
I’ve seen almost universal reports to pass on the Samsung, but those were new.
I can feel the vibration of the old machine on the second floor during the spin cycle; it’s time to replace. Any advice?
