We replace wife's mums machine(dual tub) every 3 years or so as it get approx. 4 to 5 hours solid work each and every day.
LG 16kg and same model each time.
Seems a good design so why change it.
Flog off the old one for next to nothing to a relative( plenty in line) and away we go again.
Also seem when it comes to change, one of the electrical retailers or other will have it with a saving of around 2000baht so just over 7,000baht.
There are other top loaders there (same brand) which go out on a 10 year basis but no where near the work load.
During their life span maybe a couple of nylon clutches and that's about it.
Simple as to work on, no pumps just drain valve.
Worst case there is when others do not put smalls in a bag and they get wrapped under the agitator/pulsator.
