Had a GE washer that the repairman was over to fix like 3 times that was only a few years old, I wasn't putting anymore money into it and asked what he suggested, He told me to go with a machine that still had a lot of the older style electronics and just did the basics, He suggested a whirlpool which he told me he never gets calls on and he was right, 6yrs later and have had 0 issues, All of today's appliances are to advanced and some of these companies, Should just stick to TV's, Stay away from LG and Samsung appliances, Numerous problems, And parts are hard to come by.
