[RFI] URGENT: Washing Machine RFI

[Michael Sciascia]

Scott,

I am reluctant to ask since our current HE washer is Kenmore and I have had bad experiences talking to them and Whirlpool about RFI...

What model washer do you have?   Do you know if it is one of the few Kenmore's that are not made by Whirlpool/Maytag?

Thanks
Mike

It also leaked water, and I had to retorque the drum flanges about twice a year.  I was glad to see it go.  I could hear the VFD on my HF mobile rig when pulling into the driveway.  It was curable, but I still greatly disliked the machine.  All details of curing the Gisbson are in the archives, here.
