hello forum friends, on the occasion of approaching the retirement of my good old Whirpool AWG837 I have reviewed the old post of purchase of washing machine, and I reissue some doubts: 1) front or top load (and inside top: the new ones or the basket with lock) I always had the upper load and the basket with lock, because it was said that the axle had 2 bearings, and supported much better than the other models, is this true or is it "urban legend"? 2) Today it is almost all digital, are there still misgivings against fuzzy logic and other PLC technologies? 3) spare parts and support: what brands do things get ??? 4) and last .... what would someone buy that repairs them ??? Normal use of a house in Patagonia, it is important 800 or 1000 rpm to get the clothes drained well. Thanks in advance and greetings

bandurria: hello I greet you from Mexico, I tell you today most of the laundry clothes work well ... only with some exceptions, like everything else ... a rule that has worked for me in my personal experience is to look for the devices with the simplest tegnologies ... without so many lights, not electronic things ... for me the ideal is that they were mechanical as much as possible ... I wish you luck in your choice and comments
