We have a Whirpool Neptune Stackable washer and dryer that's 10 years old now. It came with the house we recently bought. Five days ago (that's 5 years in dirty laundry time ) it stopped locking the door and would run the spin cycle. The computer geek that I am, I immediatly went online, found the problem and how to fix it. All told the parts are going to cost $200 with 2 day shipping. I tried a quick and dirty resistor replacement, but that didn't fix it. I might try one more hack when I get home, but that's besides the point.
What would you do? Me, I thought about fixing it, but the wife thinks I'm crazy. I don't think we're going to buy a new one, but I don't have any qualms with buying a refurbished washer from the repair place down the street. It seems a shame that I know the problem and how to fix it, just to junk the thing. I mean, the drive motor is still covered uner warranty.
