      Cats, you should have shut-off valves on the wall. Next time, just cut them off.

      The current issue of Consumer Reports list Speed Queen as by far the most reliable machine, but you pay for them. Water usage be damned...If you don't live in a desert, I'd never have anything but a top loader with an agitator.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @Jolly My guy had shut off the water source; the leak was from residual water that was inside the machine. Thanks for the advice, Jolly.

            Many moons ago I had a neighbor who was away and the second floor washer hose blew. 3 days of it. 200k worth of damage.

                    Thanks, TG. The washing machine is junk. My guy is going this morning to pick up a new machine. He recommended I get the warranty, which the store guy said "covers everything, absolutely everything. If the washer falls off the truck on the way home, it'll be covered."

                    I said, "Which given how this project has gone so far, it probably will. And then it'll get run over by a truck."

                      Along with the water problems in our mailn line, (we had two water main breaks across the street this week. Luckily the county had to fix them). We also had to buy a new washer. We picked an LG after some research. I don't go for front load washers.

                      This is what we selected. I do not need nor want an appliance that is connected to the internet.
