The washer worked ok, but the dryer was noisy, didn't dry well, and required an external cabinet latch to keep the door closed. I replaced the heater element, the rollers and the belt and it kept us fine for a while, with the word "fine" being relative.<BR/><BR/>When your grandmother died, we inherited her set, which actually was a matched set. We gave our old ones to my dad to give to my step sister - though I'm not certain those pieces aren't still sitting at the side of the road somewhere between here and Portsmouth.<BR/><BR/>Our new-to-us matched set didn't stay that way for long. The washer died within a year, and we replaced with whatever we could afford at the time, which wasn't much. During the lifetime of the dryer, I replaced the heating element probably 5 times (a $60 part on that stupid machine), the thermostat and a mounting bracket. I wasn't about to sink another cent into it.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad we had the extra $$ to spend on the new set. I'm guessing now I'll have to buy you some jewelry so I'm not the guy who only buys his wife housekeeping appliances. :)bassislifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702963863862810468noreply@blogger.com
