Kenmore HE³ report

[DADoES]

 
Friend has an HE³ (not t) pair.  Blue color.

Washer 110.448626300 &#92 CSP3810240 (38th week 2003).

Dryer 110.82826102 &#92 MP5110208 (51st week, 2003).

That makes the set 12+ years old.  They're used relatively "hard" ... she fosters rescue dogs so has a lot of critter-related laundry.  Typically 23 dogs in the pack, which doesn't include resident cats.

Dryer, no repairs.

Washer has had one repair, pump changed (by me) approx 3 years ago (which means the original bearings are still running).  Found no mold/grunge in the sump, and interestingly no dog hair.  There's no "machine clean" cycle.  She uses chlorine bleach often, although not so much hot washes.

Duet washer

My Duet washer that I got in 2001 has had only one repair, an inlet valve. It's not my only washer, but does about 2 loads a week.

Same as mine from '05

well, at least the WP made Duet family - I've heard of several people who have these WP made machines that are still running or at least ran for 13 plus years.
