Final update after trying these out - WE LOVE IT! Thanks again everyone.

Supposedly the washer has a light in it. My husband was reading that in the manual anyway, which I have not yet looked into. I'll report back once we fire it up for the first load, which will be tonight or tomorrow. I really was not in any position to be picky about the glass color or door...

I asked the delivery guys if the washer needs to be worked on, how they access it. The old unit had a panel on front below the door that would unscrew. If the washer needs to be serviced, do they need to be unstacked? (The old set would not have needed to be unstacked). And, I would...

I believe it is 71.5", at least that's what the specs said. Totally reachable, even from my 5'2" perspective. The pipe was 77" from the floor at best, so the other sets that came in at 76.5" stacked were just too close for comfort to be confident they would fit. As far as I can tell, this is...

Here you go. Picture quality is not great but this is basement lighting of course. You can almost see the pipe we had to clear vertically and the long cord that restricted us moving it any farther to the left. The distance from the outlet wasn't even something I thought about when I thought...

Ok, so here's my update. Firstly, thank you all so much for being exactly the helpful community I thought you would be. I received the Frigidaire set of FFFS5115PW and FFFSE5115PW and they arrived and were installed today. This set of delivery guys really knew what they were doing and were...

No go on the LG. I have 77" maximum vertical clearance for stacked units. How is the 4.1 cubic feet Whirlpool Duet (height 38") (odd that this is the machine the other delivery people struggled with!) Or, do I stick with Frigidaire and get FFFS5115PW? (36" height)

Ok, so the guys came and good news is I can get whatever I want! The bad news (?) is that the dealer does not carry Speed Queen anymore. Thinking of the LG WM3470 based on suggestions here. Thoughts?

The delivery guys are now supposed to come today to assess my space limitations, so I have no news to report. However, the appliance store supposedly carries Speed Queen and I did some reading up on them. They do have the shallowest depth of any full size front loaders so that might work. If...

I had emailed Frigidaire yesterday and this morning they sent me the attached diagram of dimensions for the old FWT445GES2. In case anyone wants it, here it is. Appliance delivery person is going to come assess my situation tomorrow and then we will decide on a unit at that point.

Thanks all, I will let you all know what we end up doing once the appliance store reopens today and once we get up and running again. combo52 - the units are already gone. First thing the delivery guys did was sharpie on them "scrap" and then bash them around getting them out of the house...

Yogitunes, thank you. That looks very much like what we had, yes. If that was around 3 cubic feet, that makes me feel much more at ease with the smaller depth on the new Frigidaire or one of the LGs if I can get it. I just did not want to reduce what I had, which I mistakenly thought was 4.4...

Edit: I also have the serial number of the old machine but I'm not so sure that would help determine the capacity.

henene4 yes that looks like it is the very same model! All I have is the model number which I found written down on an old piece of paper. The manuals were in the machine when it was hauled away yesterday. What I found online was that the numbers "44" in the model meant that it was 4.4 ft^3...

Thank you everyone. The issue is that the unit has to come through the garage and make an immediate 90 degree turn to go down about 9-10 steps to the basement, where things are wide open. We really would like a front loader so we can stack the machines and save floor space, plus I am used to...
