We purchased an LG washer and dryer 17 years ago. The washer motor stopped working so it wasn't worth repairing. We hadn't planned to replace the dryer however the old ones were on a pedestal that wasn't the same size as their new ones. We were kind of forced to purchase a new dryer so it would be the same height and match. It is frustrating that the new pedestals almost cost as much as the washer or dyer.
