I've got the WaveTouch washer, still waiting for my dryer for a month and a half (ordered the gas version). Pros: * short cycles which can easily be made longer if desired by adding steam, pre-wash, stain pre-treat and/or increasing soil level * very quiet and very stable * LED light inside drum is very nice * shrink guard option is da bomb!! Best feature since sliced bread. After spinning it tumbles the clothing and takes all the wrinkles out. Super awesome for when you're doing a load of dress shirts that you hang to dry, or any other hang to dry clothing. Especially great when you're dryer hasn't arrived yet and you have to hang EVERYTHING. ;) * ability to add extra water to a load. Great for bulky items like sleeping bags and comforters or modern cloth diapers * lots of spin speeds * lots of soil level choices * several "favourite" cycles, so you can create your own * cleans very well and seems to get stains out better than my previous front loader. I've been using the pre-wash/stain pre-treat option for every load that contains kids clothing and I'm wondering if I could just cut that down to the stain pre-treat option. I'm just used to using pre-wash on kids' clothing from my previous front loader that had only the pre-wash option and no stain pre-treat option. * if you've forgotten to add an option or want to remove one, pausing the cycle allows you to do this. My prior machine allowed me to pause a cycle but wouldn't let me change the spin speed or change other options once the cycle was started. Cons: * darn LED light doesn't stay on long enough if you're having to pull items out one by one to hang. You can hit a button to turn it back on, but if the display happens to go out entirely, you're SOL for turning the light back on * you can't use pre-wash or stain pre-treat on the sanitary cycle, gentle cycle or handwash cycle. HUH? My last front loader allowed me to pre-wash on any cycle. So apparently my gentle items aren't allowed to need a pre-wash to help remove stains...there may be a way around this though, I just haven't had a chance to figure it out. Maybe just taking a normal load, lowering spin speed and soil level? I'll have to play around. * each cycle remembers the last previously used settings, but if you don't remember what those were, you have to cycle through the selected options on the display which is not near as easy as just being able to look at selected hard buttons * you need to close the detergent drawer with some force else it bounces back open (since opening it is pressing a button and it pops open). This is just taking me awhile to get used to it, so I'm sure it will be removed as a con at some point. Obviously can't give any feedback on the dryer yet but I'm looking forward to the "line dry" cycle. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

If my research is correct, the control board is part number 6871ER1003E. Google search finds a seller on Amazon.com (if legitimate) that has a small supply of them. There are also two board repair services that may (or may not) handle them. Neither one lists the board by number but both of them may handle boards that they don't list.

evegiven0, Darks are hard if one wants to keep them dark and remove grunginess. We just haven't come up with a perfect solution yet. Cheer only has the one enzyme as you've mentioned and a tiny bit of oxygen bleach--not enough to clean, just enough to denute chlorine in the water, so I tend to do the pre-wash, which usually cleans well. But when it's going to be *really* grungy laundry, I'll do things a little different. I'll use Tide liquid with Clorox 2 powder in a pre-wash with lengthy soak. Pre-mix in warm water for the Clorox 2 powder though, as it does have oxygen bleach and while it says it's safe for colors, it has left a splotch on colors for me in the past. But, this formula is my ace in the hole. Between the two products, the pre-wash and soak, then a main wash, I have had every grungy item come out spotless and odorless, minus an occassional faded spot--yes, darks can be a challenge at times. So if it's filthy darks that you wouldn't mind of if a splotch did happen, this works over here. I probably would omit the Clorox 2 powder if this was cherished darks. I haven't had much success with liquid Clorox 2. Some people really like it, but here, it doesn't give me reason to add it to my laundry loads. YMMV Other than that, regular Tide powder is very good. Use a warm/hot enough cycle, add some time to the cycle if possible, add a pre-wash if available. I really like Tide powder. The scent has been eye crossing lately--hoping that gets sorted out soon. In the meantime, I switched over to 'Mountain Spring' scent for these loads. But this too can fade precious darks over time, so we kind of have to make a decision: fading or clean.

I think any time that you have an appliance that might be specific to the location, it is a good idea to include it in your listing. That eliminates a number of issues for the buyer --including shopoing for something that fits when there is so much else to deal with. If you offer them for sale, you won't much for a used washer and dryer. Make it a plus and just include them. Make it easier for the buyer to say yes. They can always exclude them on their end of the deal if they don't want them or donate or sell them when they are ready to replace.
