Chosen Solution

My washing machine does not pump the water out after washing. I have to empty it by hand…..a technician told me that it is a computerised machine and an entire circuit board has to change, but I cannot find a dealer in my area who sells that particular board…..so do i have to dump a somewhat good machine?

Keith: I feel your pain. If you are going to have to replace the computerized board, may I suggest another approach? Look in your area for a store that sells refurbished appliances, and get yourself the biggest capacity old-fashioned Kenmore washer that they sell. It will certainly work well for a while, since they have refurbished it. And it will be very easy to repair, should a problem develop. There are plenty of YouTube videos on these washers covering every possible thing that can go wrong with them. The old-fashioned (that is, non-computerized) Kenmore washer and dryer are the standard that just about all washers and dryers followed for decades, that is, until they started computerizing them. I have a Kenmore-compatible washer and dryer. I recently took my dryer apart, vacuumed out all of the lint that was in it, and replaced the belt; then I put it back together. It was easy to do all of that, and now the dryer works like new. (It wasn’t drying the clothes very well before I did that.) These machines are fun to repair, and all parts are readily available everywhere. Good luck! Jim
