I would like to say that the Kenmore front loading machines are proving to be a wasted investment. At first the cold water inlet swtich stopped working at the 2 year mark, then about 5 months later the whole machine doesn't work. The technician said it needed circuit boards. Is it worth fixing or just buy another new machine.

Also, a technician came about 8 months ago and said my dryer needed a new motor etc. The dryer is still working like its brand new but it is on the loud side somewhat.
