Wash
Hmm. Our washer seems to have had enough of me. Yesterday, I put a full wash in and it half heartedly washed them as delicates even though I selected the heavy duty wash. Today I put in a small load. It again washed them as delicates and I had to run the spin twice to get them spun out. The first time it did the spin, it sounded like it didn't have enough power to spin them, but the second time sounded much healthier. It's a Maytag that just turned 6. I thought Maytag's lasted longer than that. Now I'm not sure what brand I should get to replace it. It has worked perfectly for me up until this week, so 6 good years. Anyone have any recommendations?
I am working hard to restore James' room after we exploded it all over the house for the final renovations to his room!

I don't think Maytags are quite what they used to be. Nevertheless, 6 years doesn't seem nearly long enough for it to have lasted. It is often the timer/switch thingamee that goes first. I think if it were me, I'd try to find a reliable repair guy and ask him to give you an estimate.
My mom recently had her washer die. It was either Maytag or Whirlpool. A front loader. It was only five years old. She opted to get it repaired. The repair guy told her that front loaders are not all they are cracked up to be and often die early deaths. Mine is LG (also a front loader) and has served us well for about five years. No sign of trouble. I'm hoping for at least another five years out of it. They don't make them like they used to. The one my mom had before the most recent one lasted her nearly THIRTY years. That's the way it should be!
