I'm knocking on wood like crazy! Both my washer and dryer are ancient...BUT...so far....they are great. I can adjust water temp, open any time I want, and adjust load size. The latch on the dryer door is broken, but a magnet keeps it closed. They are truly work-horses. Over the years my sons have worked at a junk yard, the city maintenance yard, and a printing plant. They challenged me with every kind of gunk/grease/dirt/oil etc known to mankind!! That goes back 15 years...my machines are still chugging away!
