A bit of a random rant...
We bought an upright washer several years ago and while it does what it is supposed to, while washing towels or blankets, the thing sounds like it has rocks in it when it starts spinning. Every damn time they get twisted together and balled up to where it can't spin for more than a minute or two and then has to stop due to the machine moving across the floor. I stop it and try to unwind everything and sometimes even wring things out so everything isn't so heavy. All this extends the cycle as well. One minute the display shows 5 minutes left on the cycle then after spinning, clunking/spinning and clunking, the display goes to 7 minutes.
Yep, unwinding towels this morning.
Rant over.
I decide a long time ago I wasn't going to go with a new dryer. Not sure I could work on a new one, I can repair the one we have, no circuit cards to worry about.
