Still waiting to here from Lowes about stacking kit for washer and dryer! Estimated date is Feb. 8. Guess I'm going to have to make another trip to Laundromat. $2. to wash a load and $1. for 20 minutes of dryer time. Glad my dryer still works! Can't wait to see the new kitchen Addy.

Did I mention my dryer is like 15 ot 20 years old I think... so is the washing machine! Dryer never breaks down and washing machine does and then hubby fixes it aND somehow keeps it running. Not like we could not afford a new one, but hubby refuses to get new one cause I swear he likes to tinker with old one! Ha ha ha!

Colleen, my Maytag washer and dryer are the same models I had when I was married, and those were bought in 1983! So, over 30 years old. This house is 35 years old, so I figure they were bought new when the house was built. I had the washer fixed, thinking I spent right at about $200 on it. But, from what I hear about new ones, they cost well over a thousand, and people are saying they are replacing them in 5-7 years! Yikes, I'll stay with my old set. The dryer does a fantastic job, no wrinkles on permanent press setting, and washer does great job, too. I wash dog beds in it and quilts, etc. It's not huge, but it's big enough!

Our neighbors have a set that is around 30 years old. We have fixed their washer a few times, the dryer just keeps running. An old maytag set.

I thought about opening up the washer but after seeing the repair people have to completely dismantle the washer and dryers when they were repaired, not going there. New appliances just don't last. Too much high tech stuff.

Her fixes were simple, for us non appliance repair people. I just did a net research on the problem, gamble it would fix it and it did.
