Replaced the dogs in the agitator about 7 years ago, element in the dryer about 10 years ago and both are
working like champs.
I considered the newer techy models but I have heard and seen too many issues with these models, especially Samsung
and LG (lucky goldstar) but old tech is reliable and usually homeowner repairable.

I'll keep them
