Nothing but problems for $800 bucks! Fisher and Paykel DEGX1 Electric Dryer

Fisher and Paykel DEGX1 Electric Dryer

My wife bought this dryer (against my advice) because of its innovative top load design. It was easily $300 dollars more than the average front load electric dryer.

Our old one was a Kenmore, front loader which lasted for 20 years with only 1 repair!

After the dryer was installed, it took a little time to get used to the drum changes. It stops every few minutes and changes the direction of rotation. This is supposed to help dry the clothes better. We noticed it seemed to take about twice as long for load to complete, but assumed it was all the stopping and starting. Also, it is a real pain to have to bend over and try to reach the last item at the bottom of the drum.
