Washing machine [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Staber stories:

I've sold only three of the things over the years. One has worked fine for
over 5 years with no problems, one has worked off and one with two complete
control board replacements, one fire, water caused shorts and noise
complaints. # three is in the tropics and never complains. All are
top-loaders. All are on Trace SWs.
