Im old enough to remember when you could expect an appliance to last 15 to 20 years. Our washer is 7 years old and its leaking. We know a guy who fixes them. He said 7 years is very good, many only last 4 to 5 years now. So I guess fixing it may be a waste. My SIL has lived in her house for 21 years and just bought her 4th set. Its disgusting.

@Phil told by a repair man that they make trash now. Told me where I could get a simple Swedish brand same as my old Kenmore and should last 29 years. We can fix it and the dryer ourselves. Friends in same situation as your SIL. Speed Queen is the only way to go if you want them to last.
