Great Washer

We needed a washer and we looked at all the other front loaders and this one is at the top. We haven't had a proble,m wit and it washed great. Our next purchase will be the dryer to match the washer.
Stainless steel tub, lots of interior lighting, steam to freshen, lots of different cycle combinations, detergent cup can be removed for powder detergent, door is easy to open, heats my water if it isn't hot enough, uses less water, extra rinse cycle, takes king size linens easily and it gets them clean, the front panel's button are lit and easy to read, separate tub sanitizing cycle, delay cycle and it's quiet. It doesn't have a separate rinse cycle, so use extra rinse. Use the fast wash cycle as I do sometimes to clean out my tub of grit or dog hair. I REPEAT, TAKES KING SIZE LINENS EASILY. I've washed 2 king sized blankets at one time and YES they came out clean! Gets my King size comforter clean, add steam to sanitize if needed. I can't think of any reason why I don't love my washer, except it won't load my dryer. ;) I didn't have mine put on a pedestal because I'm short.
Overall, we are very please with our washer and its features. The one thing that is not good is the way the washer drains. We are constantly having to dry the inside rubber liner, with some discoloration around the rim that meets the metal tub seemingly unavoidable.
It hasn’t been a year yet and I had to call for repairs twice. The door latch broke as well as the detergent dispenser cover, plus it got stock when pushed in and now is rubbing against the metal door ring. The softener compartment is not working.
The Electrolux washer does it job and does it quietly, very quietly. It's efficient, using less water and less time than our previous washer. It's also very stable, unlike our prior model.
Although it's been but five months since we bought the washer, we're more than satisfied. Longevity is the key, but given it's performance so far, we expect this product to last for a long time.
Worked fine for the 1st year but then shows more and more often a "no water" error which stops the program. Restarting the program allows to run through, so no water wasn';t really the issue. Also misses to flush the softener more and more often. It's out of warranty, so we just live with it until it gets replaced at the first major breakdown.
Had the washer/dryer set delivered to the home and the dryer steam valve wouldn't shut off - water in the dryer, floor and basement. Store that the unit was purchased came out the next day and had to order the valve. The repair tech said he never saw this before. Finally repaired with no further issue. Top of washer and dryer are all scratched now from the plastic clothes baskets - never saw this on any of my older washers/dryers but never had a blue washer/dryer before.
These new machines will be the best investment I have made in a long time. I was so excited to get them, now that I have I wonder why I waited so long to purchase them. They are easy to use and my clothes look cleaner and they come out of the dryer without needing any touch-up. My son purchase his machines first, he highly recommed them to me, and I'm so glad I listened. I have never enjoyed washing clothes so much as I do nowj. Love, Love, Love.
