I have the Fridgidaire Affinity also. I bought it 16 months ago also with a "warranty". They have sent someone out 3 times since I purchased it, to repair it. The washer was getting stuck in cycles and not draining as well. Today was the fourth time I had to call and guess what? No longer am I not under warranty, but the extended warranty I do have isn't worth a squat. Fridgidaire agrees that this is an issue but won't replace it. Can you believe it? My in-laws have a washer that is 35 years old and it still works. I have one that is 16 months old, has broken down four times.
