its old (at least 10 years or older) and the motor died a new one retail that is a decent brand and cap size is about $350 for the washer and the dryer is $300. Our dryer is fine but it is such a pain in the butt to get them down the basement stairs that I was thinking of replacing both.(involves taking the door off the basement, the hand rail off, moving the stove and taking a cabinet off the wall) The motor replacement is going to cost almost the same as the new one.
We just got a new side by side frig and stove to match and new couch. My cash flow at the moment is running thin. I can afford the $350 wash and $300 dryer I'm just trying to pay less
