You can go buy those old washing machines. They're still out there. I got my washer and dryer used for 100 dollars each.

Nothing digital on them, all analog. Fixed a washer overflowing issue by replacing the $20 pressure level switch. Twice I've had to replace the heating element for the dryer, $20 bucks for those. Everything is replaceable with a flat head screwdriver and a youtube video.

Go buy those old washers and dryers.

The old order Amish are still using the 1940s Maytag wringer washers. They convert them to gas engines and run the exhaust outside.

Here in Europe we use thousand year old slaves to do ours.
