Fantastic washer until your rear bearing goes out.  $700 to fix, so most repair people say get a new one.  My service tech saw 3 this month on the Kenmore Elites.    I own all Kenmore appliances, but not anymore.  What a crap design on the rear bearing, the entire tub mechanism needs to come out with approx 300-400 in parts.  I can fix a lot of things and it tees me off I have to buy a new washer after 4 years.
