JohnL: I had heard that it's a *very* labor intensive job, so I'm happy to pay someone to do it. I got a quote of $200+ USD; is that reasonable? When I got the quote, I confirmed that the 10-year warranty does *NOT* cover bearings and seal. There was evidence when I first bought the machine...

The Verdict: It's the bearing. The telltale clue is the sound you'll hear like a twin-engine airplane in flight. http://https//drive.google.com/file/d/0B7tOIYK43N6fS0F1eWdjSkFGTm8/view?usp=sharing

I recall another flashback episode in which the Petries had just married; there was a Kenmore Frogeye in their apartment.

I concur, and appreciate your clearing up the mystery. My new WP, installed August 2015 has foam present immediately after the wash portion if a cycle.

Thank *you* You cleared up something I'd been pondering for 15 years.

After more than a few years, I still cannot tell what machine that is in the kitchen. Looks kinda like the late 50s Kelvinator that sometimes shows up in the Pict of the Day... http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2010/mlk_at_home/mlk_at_home_12.jpg

I don't recall. In 1975, the subdivision in which I lived began installing BOL WP washers but I can *NOT* recall what the detergent dispenser looked like in those. In 2001, I visited an early 70s apartment house that had that model DW installed. That 25-year old machine was quietly, smoothly...

I recall that on my Grandfather's 1982 machine, one pressed a button on the left for Cycle A, B, C , or D; then turned the timer dial on the right to the position marked with that letter. The dial may even have stopped when reaching the selected position. Pulling the knob out started the...

Here's the new dishwasher You didn't ask for that, but I'm so impressed that a machine costing only $379 is this quiet. It does a competent job cleaning, though it isn't the best at drying plastics. During pre rinse, it intermittently pauses. Between the main wash and the final rinse, it...

Agitation reminds me of my old Suzy Homemaker toy washer. The drain pump stutters as it kicks in, closely followed by a pronounced clunk one wouldn't expect from such a tiny device. These vids are not my machine, but a representative sample from the same vintage

The suspension rods were replaced around 14 months ago - I'm hoping there's not already a problem there. I'd be interested to see whether removing the agitator eliminates the noise.

Here goes. This was actually not so bad. Pack her with a full load though, and... At 0:42 is where she reaches top speed. http://https//drive.google.com/file/d/0B7tOIYK43N6fbkxMakxaMkZTZkU/view?usp=sharing

Huy guys: This noise brings up several questions: How likely is the matter a failed bearing? Is this covered by the 10-year warranty? Would anyone recommend an amateur (such as I) take on a repair like this, or is it best to get it professionally done? I appreciate any/all feedback.
