Just got rid of my fancy younger washer after spending $240 on repairs for the second time only to have it fail again.

Went and pulled my ancient Whirlpool direct drive out of storage, spent $15 on the replacement clutch and coupler it needed and threw them in there.

Thing turns 30 years old this year and it's going like a champ.
