Product review (1 stars): Failed after a year and a half
Note that the following is regarding FAFW3577KW1, a previous iteration of this model; perhaps the current model has improved.

My tiny, 1970s-construction laundry closet isn't deep enough for most current models, and I insist on being able to close the closet door, so I had limited choices at my local dealer...basically, this was it. The installers had a terrible time stacking the corresponding dryer on top of this washer and installing the set in my closet, so I was hoping it would last for many years. I read the manual, followed all the instrux and took good care of it. Since it's just me, I've probably run only about 50 loads since I purchased the set.

To my dismay, about a month ago--just over a year and a half after my purchase--I heard beeping sounds coming from the laundry closet while the machines were idle. Upon opening the closet, I discovered that the beeping was coming from the washer and that all of its lights (including the panel lights and the interior light) were randomly flashing on and off as well. It was possessed! I had to unplug the machine to get the beeping and flashing to stop.

The set is barely out of warranty since Electrolux offers just one year (they've apparently got this down to a science). Fortunately, I'd used a VISA card to make the purchase, and VISA will cover the repair, which will be 2/3 of what this washer cost.

The repair guy from the local Electrolux authorized service center, when he came out to do the estimate, said these particular machines break down all the time. In fact, he suggested I sell the set online and get a better one, like the Whirlpool Duet set (which I already know won't fit in my closet). I'd rather have spent twice as much for something that's not total junk. If anyone can recommend a different set that's actually reliable and is 29-and-3/4" deep or less, I'm open to suggestions. I'll check back here, or you can email me at kristenlmail-1[at]yahoo[dot]com.
