LUBRACTING THE WATER SEAL

You may be correct about the squeak coming from the water seal, I always grease the lip type water seals on washers FL & TL alike with a good quality grease. But in any event you have done an outstanding job saving a good washer from the crusher, your efforts will inspire many others to do the same. We are still in a learning curve with the newer Hi-Efficiency washers, but I have no dough that with the excellent quality control that is used in the production of new appliances today that many of these machines will easily be used 20-30 years.
 
Yup, I had the same thought!

 

Odds are there will be a few around in 20 years, then herd get's thinned early on, I think if it makes it to the 10 year mark, with routine work it should last.  I've got an 8 or 9 year old duet that is still doing well, picked it up last year cheap because it needed a new pump.  it became my daily driver, and I've given it a lot of use. I'll give this one a few more weeks of use and odds are I'll list the older one on CL.
