New Washer

Our old washer died a few weeks ago and we have repaired it before; however, this time we were not able to find another part we needed.  We had two choices - find it overseas and ship it in, and hope it's the right part (sometimes you don't always receive what you think you should) or bite the bullet and purchase a new one.

Sigh.  So, thinking that the last time it cost us about 2 hours work plus $80 in parts, and this time it would cost possibly double that, we thought that one more problem would make the washer cost more than a new one.  We bought a new one.

I wanted analog but Chris wanted bells and whistles digital, so we have a cool washer with a motherboard and in washing loads of laundry lately to 'catch up' the washing machine has presets.  I keep changing the preset from warm water to cold water.  The washer doesn't like that.  It keeps spitting out after the wash cycle an error code and stops.  So I have to power it off, select drain and spin mode, then it drains the water and does the spin cycle. 

Funny!  We've spent all this money on a new washer and it won't do a full cycle on cold water without human intervention to make it work.  Geez Louise, this is crazy!

The best one yet, is yesterday, Chris washed clothes and never even noticed the water selection was 'warm' and his load shrunk one of his shirts to half size, plus 5 of mine!!  How unfair! lol

So not only do I have a new washer, I have 5 shirts (new, to add insult to the injury) that I can't wear anymore.  SIGH.

When using anything for the first time, please check all the settings or parameters, etc. to ensure it will work smoothly and correctly.
