Kenmore (Frigidaire) 417.41042000. Loud noise during fast spin. Suspected bad bearing (pretty sure it was a made in China bearing and not an SKF or FSE). Nonetheless, called Sears to send a guy out...$65 to confirm, already had all the panels off. He says, "yep bad bearings...$500 to fix" I get bad prices on bearings but 2 SKF's are only $75 and I can get cheap Chinese ones for a lot less and that is what Sears would put in ...if they didn't want to replace the entire tub. Took it apart and I have 2 (of 3) broken spider arms. Do I still have bad bearings? Do you think that Sears would be interested in refunding the money on a misdiagnosed problem? Do I have a leg to stand on because I took it apart? What if I put it back together and played dumb, then fought! Why do I have to pay for a part that has a 25 year warranty when the machine is 5 years old? Does anybody want to get me a drum on a warranty claim? Why do I feel that Sears neglected to use Vaseline? Twice?
