L.G. M12336FDK washing machine.

any advice will be welcome. although it’s not about a fault.

one of my neighbours has asked me to supply a washer with 8kg capacity preferably silver for around £400. He says he expects to replace washers every three or so years. However if i’m involved i want to be able to keep it running for him.
so the $64,000 question is, are they a decent bit of kit and are spares EASILY available when the inevitable happens? I believe this model is a direct drive.

I could do with making a decision by tonight (saturday).

thanks guys
