My wife and I used to live in cental Indiana and in 1997 I was in a Montgomery Ward store and spotted a front load clothes washer that had been returned for some reason. I bought it and we used it until we moved to our present home in Montvale, Virginia in 2003. I was reading the May issue of Consumer Report that discussed the problem with mold in front loaders. We have used this washer for 23 years and have had very little mold problem. We are curious about how rare having this model still working "quite well" is!!
