Will do! Estimated delivery is sometime between 3/20 and 4/5 - that means it will probably arrive on 8/17

The Speed Queen is in Houston. The delivery company only delivers to Port Arthur on Thursdays and next week's truck is full, so they told me that I have to wait until 4/12. They said I had to call the seller to see if there is any other delivery option (meaning another company to get it and bring it here). Needless to say I'm pissed. I called A.J. Madison at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">4:30</span> Eastern time (3:30 my time) today. Their answering system said "we are closed, our hours are 9am-<span style="text-decoration: underline;">5pm</span> M-F...." Needless to say, I'm even more pissed.
I ordered this on 2/20, there was a back order and it was shipped on 3/15 - supposed to be delivered within 14 business days which would be 4/5 at the latest. I'd see if I could go pick it up but my truck gets 10MPG and has a Chambers Imperial in the bed that I don't want to unload.

Spider corrosion.
Bought a GE WCVH6240FWW FL in late 2004. Bearings started to go about 3 months ago and now loose (12 years of service). I stood on the inner drum to see if the spider could take my weight and it appears still solid throughout its rotation. Unfortunately I don't have time to take it apart to inspect the spider. I never used fabric softener, rarely used LCB, mostly liquid detergent and never a lot, have very hard water, always left the door open and almost always used cold water.

This is essentially the same as the one I got rid of this summer. Bearings went, I bought it on clearance from a local appliance store in 2009 so it lasted 7 years. That said it was used pretty heavily sometimes multiple loads a day and I took no special care with it.
I disassembled the whole machine and stripped anything I could potentially use. It was difficult to take apart in certain places. Not really worth fixing in my opinion just based on parts costs and length of time to disassemble it.

well, you did get 12 years out of it....
of anything, COLD water washing is most likely your worst enemy....
anything can be repaired, its a matter of mechanical skills, and wanting to tear into one of these....
or, start searching for a new one....

Martin - when friends and family ask my why their washer died, they typically give me an evil look back when I respond with the question, "how often do you wash with cold water?" Ignorance is bliss, at least with washing habits.

it is sort of a blessing Ben.....
and sometimes works to our benefits.....so many people wash in cold water, which either ends the machines life early, or the mold baffles them and they are off to a new machine....
theres another thread going on about mold issues and the machine not cleaning well....we encounter so many of them, almost wishing for a PDF file on our front page, follow these rules, and you will never have an issue....ever!....its not rocket science....
this only allows me to purchase these machines, super cheap or free from these people.....a bearing job, or just a simple clean out.....and I have a brand new machine, with my own laundry practices, will never see the issues its original owner has had.....
almost like adopting a pet from the shelter, giving it a second chance at a better home....
people will not wake up.....blaming the machine or manufacturers.....if it was truly the machine, wouldn't every machine built have the same problems....and wouldn't I have the same issues?....
like twisting their arm to use 3 gallons of hot water.....
