Purchased as part of the pair of compact washer and dryer units, this washer seemed to work well. Then, after a month or two or three, strange things began to occur. Today, -- the straw that broke the camel's back, -- the machine filled its typical tiny "water-saving" amount, then spent nearly 30 minutes draining, emptying, occasionally spinning, draining, spinning, BUT IMPORTANTLY not "washing." No agitating back and forth occurred as in previous uses.  The Lame Intelligence ("LI") seemed to try to rinse, drain, and spin away the detergent sheets that are part of a normal, modern, washing process.  It seems that some serious software/firmware updates are required. (I hope buyers don't have to "subscribe" to updates...)
