WHIRLPOOL DUET HT FRONT LOADING WASHER

I bought a pair of Whirlpool Duet HT Front Loading Washer & DUET HT Dryer in Bisque June 2006. On August 29, 2008 the "MotherBoard" inside the wshing machine shorted out. As of Oct 3, 2008 they still could not locate a replacement "MotherBoard" to fix it as apparently event he manufacturer was "backordered" for this part. Lowe's Extended Warranty sent me a gift card for my original purchase price plus tax to go buy another machine; which I did receive in a timely fashion. Arrived in my mail box on October 8. PROBLEM IS: Whirlpool has discontinued "Bisque" in their front loading DUET HT models! Now after going without a washing machine all this tiime--I am stcuk with either buying a WHITE washing machine or getting a COLORED Washing Machine to set beside of my BISQUE WHIRLPOOL DUET HT Dryer! Who would have thought that Whirlpool would have discontined BISQUE within 2 years (which is similar to an Off White). For the price that I paid for these supposedly top of the line waher & dryer set I would have expected that before they let it get to the point where even the manufacturer can't provide the parts that they make for their machines; that they would have had R & D all over this problem! Does not set well with me at all for being a loyal Whirlpool Appliance Buyer!
