Ugh, I don't understand the love for these plastic pieces of disposable trash... the drain solenoid linkages rattle, the pump motors can't unstick their own seals if they sit more than a few months, and they always reek of whatever soaked into the plastic body and door... I couldn't stand them when I was servicing them in the 1980's and I still don't like 'em. But my neighbors think I'm nuts for collecting old Volvos (and refrigerators, and hit-miss engines, and grand pianos, and clocks, and... ok, I'm a hoarder) , so I guess there truly is a lid for every pot!
