We bought this same washer sold by GE. I was shocked today when the repair man said it was made by Frigidaire. Not only does a Company like GE. take it's jobs overseas, but it farms out it's appliances to other companies. Long story short, top load is the best, preferably an older top load without the 1/2 tub rinse cycle. All of these water restrictions have made these companies produce inferior products. This machine lasted 5 years to the day. Now I am told the pump and the bearings are shot. More than $600. to repair. According to Amazon, I can get this same piece of crap new for $29 more dollars. And talk about conservation, I will throw this machine away and buy another hunk of metal and plastic again in five years. That leaves us with a very full landfill, and Fridgedaire with full pockets! Take home lesson as told to us by the repair man, if you must buy this crappy machine BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!
