So the distant sibling and I spoke last evening and she encouraged re the washer that I call the repairman who charges $60 for a service call, to see if it might be a simple fix and all will be well and no waiting on a new washer or dryer. That made sense didn't it?
Well, I left agent 104 a note and this evening he told me To CANCEL the appt, we were getting new HE washer and dryer. Now you know what the little darling everyone thinks is so cute is really like. So of course I did cancel it...he's around here all the time for the most part so no way could I do it without him knowing....but I'm hoping the repair guy will call to let me know what he suggests. From word of mouth responses, I'm tending toward the original Consumer Reports best buy of the LG though will review one more time to confirm I picked top load and no agitator.
I felt very exhausted earlier in the day and wound up just admitting I could do no more work wise, and used sick time. I got something to eat and took a nap. ANd so it goes.
I bought a stacking set and the installers kept saying "Ma'am are you SURE you want them stacked?" I was working and just kept saying "Yes, I am sure".
Well, for lack of a 2 minute walk to the LR and I would have seen than I couldn't reach the top of the dryer. At 5'2" these suckers are TALL. Had to have them re-installed.
I have the front loaders and don't love them. I can't soak clothes and have to do a lot of bending and twisting, which has been hard on my back.
I think they make smaller ones than what we bought. Ity's just DH and me and we have little laundry compared to the days when all 5 kids were home. I've worn out 3 sets of w/d's.
Sometimes it just isn;t worth fixing a dying appliance.
