Lots of excellent counsel all around, thanks!
I have included the two private E-mails (names and callsigns
withheld) and the public one so that others may benefit as well.
Didn't someone create a repository for this sort of valuable
information re. appliances and RFI somewhere?
Thanks again & 73, doc KD4E

Just buy the washing machine, pay with a credit card, and
write on the bill of sale before paying that if the machine
produces RF interference it will be returned for full
credit. I have done this several times and the stores seem
to have no problem agreeing to this as they don't think
anything they sell would cause interference. Only one time
did I return an item and there was no issue.

Our Maytag Neptune has real bad RFI. It comes from the DC
motor contol...
I'm guessing all the front loaders use a DC motor.
I'd go to the store, make them plug it in, and take a radio
with you.
Put it on spin cycle. Should work without water in the spin
cycle.
