I shit you not we got a dryer and washer in 87. We still have the same dryer replaced 1 belt. The washing machine died after 29 years. Since then on on my second washer and already replaced the agitator. Shits built to be replaced every 3 to 5We went backwards.
Bought a brand new set of front loader washer / dryer that only last 3 years before the circuit boards were dead and needed replaced.
Went to a used appliance shop and bought commercial whirlpools for $100 each and they've worked perfect for 10 years now.
