Product review (1 stars): Seal leaked after 1.5 years. Unusable
Our washer started sounding like a 747 was landing in our laundry room. We normally don't buy the extended warranties, but I'm glad we did. Turns out the seal leaked. It is unsafe to use as the barrel can come flying out. It's costing too much to rebuild, so the warranty company is going to replace it w a comparable one...I"m fighting w them on the details of that. Anyway, consider getting the extended warranty and if it sounds really loud on spin, have it check out to be safe.
