We bought a Samsung front load washer & dryer after the house fire. They have now been in use about 6 years. We had Lowes (A&E appliance repair) out so many times under the extended warranty plan we got to know the repair man's kids - only half kidding. The washer basically ruined every set of sheets, towel, and wash cloth that we had just bought to replace the ones lost in the fire. It won't dispense the detergent and bleach correctly. It just dumps it into the washer leaving huge spots. They blamed Monica for not cleaning the dispenser mechanism often enough. They replaced the mechanism a couple of times and the first time you would use it, it would do the same thing. Finally once the warranty was up, we learned to just live with it. She uses very little bleach any more (which is good for the septic). However, I've noticed she is doing a lot more of washing clothes by hand - especially the kids' white clothes they use for the dairy shows. We also had Lowes out several times because bearings were out of the dryer. They seem like they finally got that resolved, but every now and then, one of them will still howl for a load or two and then quiet down. The Samsung fridge seems to be decent though....
