Kenmore Washer and Dryer Review

I bought the front loading Kenmore model #417.43142200 5 years ago.

Last year the counterbalance came loose and repair was a couple hundred.

Now it's banging loudly during high speed spin and the spider arm broke resulting in a repair that will coast as much as a new machine.

I'm reading reports from others who  say 7 years is the longest these can last.

It's poorly designed and designed to fail due to incompatability of aluminum and stainless steel leading to massive corrosion.

I feel like I've been robbed and will NEVER buy another Kenmore/Fridgidaire product again.
