We bought beautiful front loaders 7yrs ago when we moved in. We have had to call repair service several times as the digital parts keep needing parts replaced. Am Wondering if I am better off just purchasing a less expensive w/d when these go. The appliance service man told me the average life of an appliance is 7 yrs now

I will be surprised if my front loaders last 7 years. When I replace them I'll go for basic units that are reasonably quiet - if they make them. I bought top of the line Samsung. Not worth what I paid for them. Have only used the steam features a couple of times. When I bought them I was replacing Maytag units that were 23 years old. Definitely don't make them like they used to.

I think I will stick with the basic models next time around also. Hope u get at least 7 yes out of yours. They were expensive

Our Samsungs are 8 years old and on their third move. They run like Swiss watches.

I have 15 yr old top load Kenmore (Whirlpool) with knobs-no digital. So far so good.

Do they come with a sauce rack?

When we moved in, we were told to stay away from front loaders. We have Samsung HC top loaders and have no problems!!
