Clogged or failed. Most dryer failures are belt, if drum won't turn, or heating element, if won't dry. Both fairly easy to replace from rear. Most washer failures are waterpump. Clogged or failed.

In general, not a good investment for most people. The best protection is do your homework on the net 'before' purchasing. Search/Google Consumers Report, Eopinions, Amazon Comments, FixYa, etc for the Model you are considering buying for reliability and potential chronic (design) problems. Use just the Model range number, not the whole number with color and style number extensions(usually letters at the end. The first few, 4 or 4, characters is usually the basic Model range. The net is also a great source of fix-it-yourself info for those just halfway handy.

It took 2 days to get a heating element assembly for a 15 year old Speed Queen dryer. Whirlpool, Speed Queen, Kenmore and Amana are all the same. The Sears rep actually chuckled. I found it at a local business on the shelf. My service agreement is me and a multi-meter and basic troubleshooting skills. I can still use an analog meter.
