minus-squareHelloDingo@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·14 hours agoJust got rid of my fancy younger washer after spending $240 on repairs for the second time only to have it fail again. Went and pulled my ancient Whirlpool direct drive out of storage, spent $15 on the replacement clutch and coupler it needed and threw them in there. Thing turns 30 years old this year and it’s going like a champ.
