igor11's Full Review: Kenmore 41142 Washer
The washer works fine for 3-4 years until the drum bearing goes, as stated below by slogreg. I just wanted to confirm this huge issue.

To repair, you have to tear down almost the whole machine. Replacement is required of the rear half of the drum enclosure which has the bearing integrated into it (rear shell), the seal between the shell and drum, then repeat every couple of years. See: http://www.applianceaid.com/frigidaire_frontload_washer.html#noise

I hoped to keep it for much longer than 3 years.

Frigidaire will not cover this with their 5 year warranty, only the motor, speed controller, and the pulley --NOT the bearing / shell / seal.

I would avoid this and the Frigidaire at all costs.
