Cold basement washing machine recs
I live in an old house with an unfinished basement that is not well insulated and gets very cold (below freezing) in the winter. Unfortunately, the basement is where our washing machine hookup is and we’ve had consistent problems with various parts of the washing machine freezing during the winter. I know there is no washing machine that is immune to freezing and I am working on other insulation/warming fixes for the basement, but I am looking for recommendations of washing machines that have easy access to the most important tubes/hoses/parts that can potentially freeze so that I am able to fix them when they do freeze. We’ve had an Electrolux front loader for the last 5 years that I have loved and gotten very good at taking apart to fix.
Ideas?
