Soapbox..........
.............let me just start this day by posting "on my soapbox". Have any of you guys noticed that NOTHING is built to last???? AKA, we have a front end loader washing machine purchased July 22, 2006............granted it was not the most expensive, BUT it certainly cost more than what I really wanted to spend!!! This weekend we noticed it was leaking at the FRONT of the machine, not from the hookups or the drainline..................and Tony mentioned that it was making noise when we ran it and he clearly remembered how quiet it was when we first bought it........
So we contacted Sears to make a repair call, thinking we would pay the $69 repair service charge and whatever it took to repair it..........then we would be on our merry way to washing clothes again. OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The repair guy shows up yesterday evening only to tell us that the tub on the inside has come loose and done MAJOR damage to the inside thus why it is leaking. We did not purchase the extended warranty and of course, the manufacturers warranty is only for 1 year!!!!!! Before quoting the parts, he forewarned us that we wouldn't be happy and could probably buy a new one cheaper...........................that was an understatement!!
After he contacted the parts center and gave them the list of items he would need, the printout of costs they sent him...................get ready, you're going to love this...................the parts and labor would total $1701!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can buy the same washing machine for $749!!!!! Don't you just love "disposable" appliances!
