Product review (2 stars): Look Elsewhere
I purchased this washer in 2009. It has run great over the years with a couple of problems every now and then. Well after owning this for almost 4 years, it seems about time to buy a new washer. Occasionally over the years, my washer would leak water and detergent. Once in 2010 it would not run the wash cycle. I looked up Q&A's online and found a large community of unsatisfied customers. I left it unplugged and planned to call a technician the next day, but to my surprise, it worked after plugging the unit back into the wall the next day.

Well here I am 2 years later with the same problem, and it seems like I will not be so lucky this time around. I'm sure I know the issue, but I'm thinking that I will just buy a new washer (different brand) then to fix my washer and possibly have another issue in the near future. This seems to be a problem with front load washers, they save you money by minimizing water and electricity usage, but they inferior life spans than top load washers.

Update: Feb 9, 2013

I continued my troubleshooting and after reading dozens of online help forums, the next day I decided to remove one of the computer chips from the washer. I smacked it against my hand a couple of times and reinstalled the part. To my amazement, it worked and has been working fine since then.
