Many of us own Whirlpool appliances. I am not sure I ever will again.
In just a few years, we’ve had another washer go belly-up. I checked this morning, and a replacement transmission is almost $400. You can practically buy a new washer for that much.
In fact, I think that’s what I’m going to do this morning: Take a bit off from work and go buy a new washing machine. I’m so tired of gizmos breaking in my house. I expect certain appliances to last longer than a decade, not just four years. That works out to over $100 a year for the privilege of owning this washer.
Mourn the departed
Sorry about your luck. We went through a period of bad luck like that last year. In the span of a week a 7 year old TV died and a 5 year old Dishwasher died. I can definitely sympathize with you. Have fun on the hunt for the new washer. One thing I learned, Sears will price match – okay that’s nice. Best Buy will price match + 10% – Nice.
Best of luck.
