    Is it really that it worked for 30 years or just that the couple times it failed that actually got somebody to repair it?

    I had my washer/dryer for 8+ years now. Actually got the extended warranty for sure reason and it covered having a repair when it started leaking, but given the cost of repairs hasn’t just elect to buy a new unit.

      My washer/dryer unit stopped working properly after less than 5 years. Out of warranty. I was damned if I was going to toss it or pay the equivalent to fix. So, I researched, found the problem, purchased the part and fixed it myself. I’m a 58 yo woman who is so sick and tired of the games corporations play to part us with our money.
