We got our Maytag washer and Frigidaire electric dryer in 1973.  In
those 11 years we have moved twice and added 5 kids to our family.
Both get used daily, often for several loads.  I have had to disassemble
the Maytag pump twice to extract a stuck sock (it usually passes them
right on into the drain), and the dial markings rubbed off in the
first 6 months so we use the by-guess system for starting it up.
I just recently replaced the heater on the dryer ($40 and lots of
sweat), and had to replace the blower impeller once ($25 and lots more
sweat).  No other service required on either, and they both should last
another 11 years.     Mel Haas  ,  houxe!mel
