Long story short we have a 6-7yr old front loader. Wife always hated it (she picked it out) but hates it even more now. She has always complained about mildew smell if you don’t leave door open when not in use or if clothes left in too long after wash completes. Now it has developed a small leak at the door. It’s a gasket but looks to be a MFer to replace. Sears wants $350 to replace it,lmfao. She wants a new top load washer......happy wife/happy life. We don’t need a top of the line unit with 25 settings. Her only request is it’s 4.8 or bigger. Would like to spend under a grand, hopefully in the $600-$750 range.
