i see a lot of
whirlpools all over the place, craigs list, ebay, marketplace etc. i like the older whirlpools myself, they seem to run forever and parts are cheap and plentiful.
i also have a front load frigidaire gallery washer i bought in 1998 that i have done 2 rebuilds on, new bearings and tub seal, and it is my main machine and it works great! i love these smaller front loaders. i see them listed quite a bit too. in fact i have an extra one just in case.
facebook marketplace is my newest shopping mall! i'm sure you'll find something close to you on that site.
and i would not pay a fortune either, last dryer i got i paid 50 bucks for on craigslist 3 years ago, a maytag. last top loader was a whirlpool for 50 bucks also, just needed a motor coupler, 5 dollar part, gave it to a friend to use, and in general i never pay more than 100 bucks for any appliance i buy. i definately would not pay 2 or 300 for something that you know nothing about but that's just my take on it and i am cheap!
good luck with it!
