Here are a few of the features that will contribute
to the cost of your new laundry pair:
washer:
• High Efficiency
• Super Capacity Sizes
• Water Level & Balance Sensors
• Steam Cycles
dryer:
• Noise Reduction Packages
• Wrinkle Reduction Options
• Moisture-Sensing Cycles
• Steam Cycles
An average family will use their laundry pair multiple
times a week, but the cost of use is something that
many people forget to consider. Older laundry pairs
may require more water and energy, meaning an
energy efficient one may actually save you money
over its lifespan!

a Note about dryers:
There are two dryer types – gas and electric. Similar
models look and perform the same, but differ in how they
are set up. Your decision between the two will depend on
where you will connect your new dryer:
Gas
– needs an approved gas line with
shut-off valve
Electric
– needs a three-prong outlet
with 30 amp circuit
