My new washing machine completely died.

That is crazy expensive to fix. I’m glad you are getting a new one.

They sure as hell don't anymore.

Man that is disgusting! It really shouldn't"t fail after a year. Personally I would take it up with the manufacturer And see what they are able to do. Sorry, .You seem to have really bad luck.

Washing machines have to be the worst appliance, that I am aware of, to replace or get replacement parts. I believe that most of them come from Mexico, and they are not a huge country, but they have the chore of supplying North America with washers.

If your washer is only a year old, it should still be under warranty and cost nothing to get it replaced.

That's awful and scary. I hope your new one does better.

My goodness. Things are made cheap. I read somewhere that they are doing away with people being able to fix things. The service manuals are being done away with. We had the drum wear out on the washer we had in this apartment, so we got a newer model. That was a couple of years ago. We've only lived here for about 22 years. That poor old washer did a good job for us.

New models now may not be made to last, that's what I often encounter. I hope you get the better!

It is really a shame.

That's awful that the new one is less than a year old and has problems.

Oh my goodness, it did not last long, I hope that mine will live longer.

I hope the next one lasts longer

You are right to get a new one instead of paying that price to get this one fixed. You might like to look at this before you buy

Gosh that's poor, after only a year. And washing machines are shockingly expensive!

After a year was it still under warranty?

I work in management at a national home improvement retailer, and one of my areas of responsibility is overseeing appliances that are returned as damaged or defective. Up until a year or two ago, we would get almost all of them fixed through contracted service repair techs, but now we don't fix any of them since it's too costly. The vendors (the brand manufacturers) simply give us credit for the cost of the appliance, and we recycle them on our scrap trailers. It's a shame that they won't repair them anymore, but at least we send them to a scrap yard to be recycle, instead of just thrown out. Sorry to hear your washing machine went out so quickly. Unfortunately, appliances aren't designed to last any more.

wow. Hopefully the new one won't break down.

This seems such a waste a) that machines don't last long and b) that they can't be repaired relatively easily. They just become part of the mountains and mountains of landfill. And there is nothing much we can do about it.

At times, we are left with no choice and time is also of the essence. It should have had a minimum guarantee though, and you can ask for discount to offset your loss.

I"m glad you're getting a new one. My washer lasted 20+ years. When I bought the new washer and dryer this year, I purchased an extended warranty as I don't trust the new, cheaper models.
