I purchased the Frigidaire FTF530FS about 6 years ago.  I, too, had problems the past year with a loud noise during the spin cycle.  The repairman said that the problem was also the rear bearings and would cost about $600 to have it repaired.  I am very disappointed, as I really liked the machine and have the matching dryer.  Unfortunately, I had to purchase a new machine (another brand, as I am reluctant to purchase another Frigidaire) and will have to wait to purchase the matching dryer.  I am rating this machine one star only because I feel it should have lasted longer.  Otherwise I would have rated it five stars!
