Frigidare Washer [RE-wrenches]

[Doug Pratt]

I would recommend great caution with any Frigidaie-brand horizontal-axis
washer. The 6 to 10 stories I've heard (so far) thankfully don't involve
letting any smoke out of appliances or inverters, but I've yet to hear of a
Frigidaire h-axis washer that runs properly on modified sine wave. The
customer usually says they run okay on the generator, but won't run, or will
only run some cycles on modified sine inverters.

Do they have a generator they can run the washer on in the meantime?
