Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the washing machine

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Last time I needed a drain pump for an LG I ordered it on Amazon to save
a few bucks. It arrived broken. They did exchange it, but that's
annoying and left me without a washer for longer than necessary. The
eventual replacement did work and lasted until the pot-metal drum
support broke (see the start of this thread). At that point I replaced
the washer

RepairClinic.com will probably cost a little more but I've never
received a bad part from them.

When you mow the lawn when it’s frozen like that, does it just shatter?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the washing machine

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

For what it’s worth, I  was wondering about the chatter about new appliances 
being unobtanium due to everyone staying home with the pandemic. Our new house 
had no appliances even though they were on the description, so we negotiated 
$3k off the price. The builder said they can’t get stuff fast enough and they 
were having to credit people back at closings because they couldn’t get the 
appliances for the homes fast enough.

I was at Lowe’s the other day and it was pretty slow, so I walked through the 
appliance department and spoke to one of the sales people.

Long story short, they can get appliances. It’s hit or miss, and if there’s a 
particular model you want and they don’t have it, it’s a roll of the dice when 
or if it will ever show up. They had a pretty decent selection of stuff across 
all price ranges and said that if they’ve got it in the store or warehouse you 
can have it in a day or two.

So I guess as long as you’re not stuck on a particular model and can be 
flexible, there are appliances to be had. I specifically asked about Bosch 
dishwashers, and she said they had plenty of them but not all models.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the washing machine

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Well the new LG washer ate its drain pump. Lasted a couple years max. Of
course it probably did 5 million loads of Laundry during that time. I
wonder if it has a load counter on it.

LG has only one warehouse and its in AL. So we are without a washer until
next week. Kind of unbelievable given they sell the machines at Home Depot.
I should have just bought a pump on amazon prime.

I’m finding that it appears to be a rare occasion when transfer case
fluid is changed. Wonder if this goes back to the “lifetime fluid”
approach at that time.



Lifetime fluid was good for warranty claims, but bad for MBZ's 
reputation of lasting over 200k miles. Transmissions and transfer cases 
should outlast the warranty on factory fluid, but they don't last 
forever without fluid changes.
