We're on our second one now. It's an LG that periodically will just keep running and not go through a cycle. The fix is easy enough; I remove the control panel and whack a specific solenoid with a screwdriver handle and it works fine for a couple more months. Why not replace the solenoid? Because the entire circuit board is epoxied.

That's why I'm going back to the old stuff. My washer/dryer fix it guy came by and he has a set of old Speed Queens that he has just gone through. I told him "Sold'. Haul that Samsung junk away. The only drag is that the dryer is 220V. I'm going to have to do some electrical work. Nothing is ever easy.
