So James and I finally broke down and bought a new washer and dryer. Mine are 12 years old - the wash leaks and the dryer takes over 2 hours to dry towels - - argh!!!
We really did not do any research, which was probably our first mistake.
After talking to some people at work, everyone is saying the front loader washer holds water and starts to mildew and smell like mold, and make your clothes stink. Well crap! The salesman certainly didn't tell us THAT yesterday. I then googled "front load washer smells" and you should see all the complaints about these washers.
They are not delivering ours until 6/23, which gives me more time to do research and get feed back from people. They say if you just leave the door open, it will air out and not stink.
Any advise out there from anyone who has had experience with these types of front loaders??
Here's the ones we bought:
LG - SteamWasher 4.2 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Ultra Capacity Washer - Wild Cherry Red - WM2487HRMA
LG - SteamDryer 7.3 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Extra-Large Capacity Electric Dryer - Wild Cherry Red - DLEX7177RM
