I know this is not really on topic, but Mike M. has struck a nerve with me as well. Washers and dryers are a RACKET! I could go on and on about what I've done to keep both appliances running to keep a family of six in clean clothes. There are no good answers. If you buy cheap ones you get ill designed junk that falls apart in no time. If you buy expensive ones you get electronics troubles. You just wouldn't believe your eyes if you could see what I've done to a $1000 Maytag Neptune to keep it operating. If I could find the guy that approved that thing for market, I'd strap it to his back and start shooting at his feet to make him dance!
For a washer, there is one option- a Staber, which will be my next purchase. V has hit on an important point. We had a situation where we knew that our dryer was sucking out warmed/cooled air faster than we could pay the power bill. I sealed every external crack and crevice on the dryer; I built an air intake pipe & flange to go over the main air intake vent; I connected that pipe to dryer exhaust tubing that ran to the attic to pull in air that was full of wasted heat. Our power bill showed the effort.
