thank-you for letting us know..im still fighting for the same problems..look at my other post with the pictures.did your washer look the same?

I didn't replace an Oasis set, but if I'm not mistaken it's an HE toploader? If you are looking to stay with a TL I would recommend the GE Harmony. I've had one for about 3 years now and I just love it. It doesn't have a traditional agitator so you can get tons of clothes in it. I haven't had any problems (well, except for when I forgot to hook my hose back up and flooded the laundry room, but that was my bad!) and it works great. I'd get another one in a minute.

I too sent my Oasis HE back to Sears. I purchased the front loader Sears HE5T (no steam) with matching dryer. Have had them 3 weeks and they are great. I wish I would have went with a front loader years ago.

Our washer isn't as rusty as reflected in your pictures, but it was in the same areas. Perhaps it is because there are only two of us and we don't have the same volume of laundry.

My thoughts were to replace them with either the Bosch or LG, but I see that Samsung offers anti-vibration technology which may bode well for a second floor install.

Samsung VRT set is really great..Mobile home and no vibration!!!
