We're giving away a Whirlpool front-loading washer and matching gas dryer. They both have a slight issue. The washer occasionally doesn't recognize that the door is properly latched and will throw an error. We turn it off and on and that usually does the trick. Opening and shutting the door a few times might be needed and sometimes we pound the side of the washer with a fist near the door latch. It has continued working at that point. The dryer likely has a bearing going bad. It sometimes makes a loud, high-pitched squealing noise at the start of a cycle for a minute or 3. They both work at this time. You'll need to come pick them up.
