Kenmore Washer and Dryer — 

I bought a Kenmore front load tumble action washer 9 years ago.  Just recently it made a terrible sound during the spin cycle and would not cut off on its own.  I had a repairman come look at it and he said to buy a new washer - the bearing broke and it costs more to fix it than it costs to buy a new washer.  He said I got a lot more life out of this washer than most people get - he said most only last 5 years or so.  It's a common problem for the bearing to break on these washers - he said because people overload them.  There was still space to fit more clothing in my washer, so it was not what I consider overloaded.  I think it's a shame that I only got 9 years out of a $900 washer!  (by the way, 4 of those years I was only doing laundry for 2 people!).
