Reply to comment by PabloX68 in My 10+ year old washing machine is on its last legs. What is the most durable washing machine in the American consumer market? by wecouldhaveitsogood

Plus one on the Electrolux front loaders. Also you don’t know what you are missing out on until you see how clean the Electrolux cleans your cloths. Feels good quality solids glass door, simple clean settings and most importantly was like the only washer/dryer I was looking at that does not have wifi built in

I'd say the Kenmore did just as well when it was working correctly. However, after about 5 years, the suspension on the drum failed. I literally had to replace the shocks and springs like it was a car. However, I guess I didn't do it quickly enough because after about another year, we started finding beige plastic shavings in our clothes and it started making more noise.

The main bearing failed so the tub was wobbling within the drum. The plastic bits were the drum being shaved away by the stainless tub. It wasn't worth fixing.
