It was a 30 year old Frigidaire that we’ve had repaired before. It died mid-cycle so I had to empty the drum by hand and wring out the freezing cold wet clothes to toss them in the dryer. I’ve got a floor drain in the basement close by so it wasn’t too bad.

The wife okayed a Speed Queen as a replacement, so I went to the appliance store and ordered one. Should be here in a week.

    Did you check the lid switch? I’ve had that issue before. The machine thinks the lid’s open, and stops running. Very simple, cheap fix that doesn’t require a multi thousand dollar new machine.

      I did check that, but thank you. The failure was accompanied by a bunch of magic smoke so something’s good and dead.
