And just in case you would happen to decide you don't like that washer, Lowes will come get it, within 30 days.

Thanks. That is good to know. The one I replaced is 3 years old...computer timer completely gone!

They just don't make them like they used to!

@Zhills ouch 3 years ! that really hurts.

I have a washer that headed for its dreaded 30th birthday. Just before the pandemic hiy hard, my washer filled itself when it was turned off and it took some finangling to get it to empty. Had a plumber install a levered water turnoff. He didn't expect that to solve my problem, but I knew I'd had that kind of turnoff installed in my old house, so I felt better paying for that. Amazingly, the washer stopped accessing water except when I used it.

Got 2 extra years already, but I'm looking. Will check Lowe's again. They weren't selling a washer that fits into the space available in my condo -- unless I remove cabinets and maybe the doors. Trying to avoid that. Plan A or Plan B - either way I want a working laundry area. Just hope you and I get more than 3 years from our new washers.

@Zhills I noticed it was the computer that caused your problem and caused you to need a new washer. I do not think we need a computer to operate our washers. They did just fine on the old, manual dial. Why did the manufacturers decide to abandon the mechanisms that had worked successfully for decades?

I totally understand. I am amazed that everything has to have a computer. The older washer and dryers lasted for years. If I have a choice I will pick an older one everytime when you can find one. I also do not like front loading ones. Oh lets not forget some of them you need special detergent lol. I know I am so old school lol. Have a nice day everybody

Once upon a time I was a computer programmer!

A friend of mine offered me a job writing the programs for counter top ovens. I was shocked...he said, "they work just like any other computer! Nothing new!"

Had not digested that thought yet! Guess they really do!
