The worst part of this stuff is you never find out about it until long after the purchase is over. Unless you happen to know a brand that’s good (say Speed Queen for now) you are stuck trying to guess what issues may occur someday.

The only vendor who still sells a washer without lid lock... I'm looking at getting their TC5 to replace this piece of shit maytag that doesnt fill up properly.

I have to admire the absolute ingeniousness to make it only on the high end one heh.

I suspect you could just buy the parts - they’re all very similar internally even sharing parts with the commercial models.
