Product review (3 stars): cheap plastic dials break easily and are not available except if you buy the ...
Have had this washer for about 9 years. First the motor gave up...worn brushes. US suppliers only sell motors ($300.). UK suppliers will sell brushes ($30. shipped to US). Problem solved. 3 weeks ago the washer refused to spin. The aluminum casting on the back of the spinning drum which holds the axle of the machine and is the main support the drum was almost eaten through by detergent, and was broken into about 6 pieces. I put a new one ($300.) in after coating the casting with several coats of liquid vinyl. I wonder how long it will last. If you have one of these machines, this will probably happen to you. A technician's repair will probably cost over half as much as a new washer. Also, cheap plastic dials break easily and are not available except if you buy the entire control panel. "Plastic Welder" methyl methacrylate works pretty good on those dials. When the machine works, it works great. Clothes spin so dry they hardly need further drying.
