We bought a Kenmore 'elite' washing machine. We paid more than $1000 for the thing. At the time we bought it, it was the top of the line. I declined to get the extended warranty. Why would I get one? Its their top of the line washer, surely it will last for years, yes?
2 years later, and it has had two major malfunctions. I fixed both myself. The Sears repair guy wanted $550 to put in a new main control board. Even he was disgusted by the situation, but said he had no say in the matter. He actually gave me the part number for the Whirlpool equivalent so I could fix it myself. Cost for the part? $163. Took me about an hour to put it in, and I was working very slowly and carefully.
