Holy good Gawd!!!!! who ever said it was doin the "Funky Chicken" yeah you pretty much sumed that right up..... my old Whirlpool, was seriously on its last leg, I got a new one from our neighbor, and the old one, the outside casing was just that, the bottom wasn't even fastened to it........ NOT a front load tho, and old top load washer.....I could not believe it, and it just kept washing clothes till finally the wife said enough was enough and I went on the look out for one and the neighbor knew it and when they got their new one, the one they considered "old" was simply to small for the 5 of them when we only got 3 so.....BIG difference in the amount of clothes to be washed!
But the bottom had rusted completely loose front the top and sides! The worst part of the old one was the fact that the water shut off stopped working and the wife would stand by it till it finished filling and then shut the valve off on the wall to let it go through its cycle as it ran fine the water would just keep filling up (YEAH, I learned the hard way when we first figured that one out!)
