My 4 year old ge washer is junk. After 2 1/2 yrs. I had to replace the main circuit board. 1 1/2 yrs. later,more problems. After replacing 3 main items on the washer,my code said replace motor. I'm not doing that,nor should I have to on a 4 yr. old washer. You think a co. like ge could,and I'm sure they could but won't,make a better product. So as with my cars and other products in my home I am going to buy a product from another country because they make things to last.
