Splendide Washing Machine Repair Options

[John Blue]

I would like to hear from all the people who have a Splendide washing machine in your motorhome or 5th wheel. Like to know what problems you have had over the years and how long in years has it been in service. Would be nice to know the cycle life as well or number of washing per trip. Some people travel a lot and others only travel couple weeks out of the year. More use adds more cycle life on machine. The TX door lock is used in this machine and all people we have talked to, this has been the item that stops working.

We have had our Splendide three years. The wife washes three to four times a week doing an average of one to two loads per day. We had a problem last year that the dryer stopped working in the heating dept. We had it fixed this year and my extended warranty paid for it but we did have to pay the fee for checking out the washer to find the problem. I believe that was 225.00. They said the problem was brought on by our dryer hose getting clogged with lint.
We used to wash every weekend when we did not have the washer dryer and it was 20.00 a day. So we are glad we bought it and are happy having it. We have also run the washer on generator when camping and it worked just fine but did fill are grey tank quckly.
