I haven’t a clue yet, been busy, if it starts ordering pizza, I will get medieval on it’s drum 🤣 It’s this one: [https://ao.com/product/wd3s1043bw3-hisense-3s-series-washer-dryer-white-100994-2.aspx](https://ao.com/product/wd3s1043bw3-hisense-3s-series-washer-dryer-white-100994-2.aspx) The old one really did a number on the load of washing, because of all the “wild” fires, we didn’t notice the smell, until it was bad (door was closed). Stuff was welded to the drum, it took all of my strength to rip it out. [Next page](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/r-i-p-good-ol-servant-thread-for-reminiscing-broken-tech-and-stuff/80942.md?page=2)
