Service said it would be 4 days before ser.tech could come out. Called Lowes, brought another washer out same day. 2 weeks later dryer stuck on 08 minutes and ran for 1 1/2 hours before I realized what was going on. Called service, 7 days before they arrived (have to be at home from 8 til 5 not knowing when they will arrive) came at 4:30 and said he didn't know what was wrong and said I would have to reschedule. I said NO! I've wasted all day here waiting on you and you have to fix it now before you leave! Not happy he called whirlpool and they told him there was a problem with the wiring harness and to re-wrap senser wire by itself. He said "I'll be he for awhile because I have to take apart your machine to get to the wires" I said "Have at it!" 35 mins.later he said he hopes that fixes it, he wasn't sure. Next week the washer stuck on fluf (after the last hard spin, it spins to fluf the clothes before it shuts off) 07 minutes and ran for 45 mins. Called for serv. 7 days again. While waiting for serv. tech, dryer stuck on 07 minutes on damp cycle and ran for over an hour before I saw it was stuck again.

Apliance repair man said not to buy one, hard to get parts. Bosch and LG are supposedly top notch. electronic do not hold their value. Call an appliance repair shop that sells used appliances they will tell you. I know Maytag was going out of business. Apliance repair man said not to buy one, hard to get parts.

There have also been a number of service calls for our Kenmore dryer. Both washer and dryer, purchased in 1999 and having an extended service contract, are top of the Kenmore line. I don't anticipate walking into a Sears store at any time in the rest of my life. My son has the same Bosch models I bought and he says they are fantastic.

We just moved into a 9 year old home with a main floor laundry and at the height of the spin cycle the vibrations are felt through the whole house. We have ceramic floors and I'm afraid of damage. We had a Whirlpool technician come out and he told it is balanced (nothing wrong with the machine) and that this machine is meant for concrete floors!!! Neither the manual nor the Leons salesman told us that. I am looking for something to put under it to absorb vibrations.
