We purchased this washer nearly 5 years ago.  I thought we were doing ourselves right by purchasing new and a quality brand name.

 We have had nothing but problems with this machine!  We had two repairs necessary within 2 years.  The first was covered by the warranty, the second cost over $100.

The machine leaks occassionally with no apparant reason, the cycle often doesn't complete no matter how careful I am to not overload it.

I'm actually waiting for the day that it officially DIES so that we can toss it out and get something reliable.

 Whatever happened to those days where things were made...
