We bought a new Maytag washer and dryer in '85 or '86. Since then we've replaced a belt on the dryer, the dryer heating element, and had something fixed on the washer. These things have been used almost daily when both kids were home. Now every other day or so. No electronics, just electro-mechanical switches. Lot to be said for simplicity. The last repair guy (2 years ago) said none of the new machines are anywhere near as solid or reliable.
OTOH, I used the new washer & dryer at a friend's house in FL a few months back and was amazed at how fast it did the load, how quickly it dried stuff, and how much quieter it was. Not so sure it's worth the high price they want for these new systems, though. But if you buy new you have to bite the bullet. But less features probably means better reliability.
