But the old one sat on a very soft floor (Laminate, with 1/8 foam underneath, on 28 foot, 100 year old pine log joists), and had to handle a lot of heavy dog blankets and farm overalls, so I'm not sure it was all GE's fault. We're stiffening up the floor with plywood, and have upgraded the capacity by over ten percent. Hopefully that's enough to keep the new basket from bending. If not, we'll have to stop buying front loaders, and get a heavy duty top-loader instead.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058893780999651690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094013166808498330.post-17819029809711462162011-11-21T04:01:50.104-08:002011-11-21T04:01:50.104-08:00Wow.

Absolutely un-called for... considering the high dollar you paid, originally, for a product by a corporation claiming to be so top-of-the-line.Teresahttp://aminuteattatime.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
