In The Market For Washer/Dryer

IMO you can typically repair one of those 5 year old washers or dryers pretty cheap if you're handy.

Yeah, it's a toss up. The premium price paid for Speed Queen vs the cost to repair less expensive brands if you're handy. In my case, I'm cheap...

They all have outsourced parts . Some more or less than others . Speed Queen included .
Trick is knowing what " Made in America " means .

I have a Kenmore washer dryer set , that I know is over 20 years old . I think it's Whirlpool . Either way , easy fix on most all of it .

Vent hose basically completely blocked.

Yea... Mrs Danl's said it wasn't drying very good... Checked the vent on the roof... All clean... Pulled the vent hose off... mostly plugged up... Cleaned it out and good to go... Told her I wasn't going to be buying new ones.. Won't be long and we'll be selling the house to downsize.. She can't keep up with the cleaning anymore and won't be able to afford a maid on a fixed income...
