GE Washer - WHDRR418G Review

GE washer WHDRR418G1WW. This machine lasted 1 year 4 months. motor LED trouble code "lock rotor".  reseted the code, restart and same result.  another word, this motor can not protect itself so it just drop dead.  what a joke. Do not know what is the cause.  tub, motor shaft, motor, belt and pully all spin by hand.  This is a $200 part.  about half of the cost of a new unit.    

To say buy somthing else is not a good suggestion. Unfortunately GE may be buying the motor assembly from oversea, the same place other US mfg. buying theirs. where is the good ole quality control ? when will mfg take quality seriously.  Has Wal-Mart train us to just throw away the junk and buy new ?
