110.22242511 is an HE/impeller machine and what's known as a VMW (Vertical Modular Washer), which is the design introduced in 2010 that replaced direct-drive. They're not as robust as DDs, don't expect 20 years from one. Spin bearings (integral to the transmission) typically fail around 5 to 7 years, sometimes sooner or later. The tub suspension springs/rods are also a common failure, causes severe off-balance with the tub bouncing and swaying excessively. I replaced the suspension on an acquaintance's 9-year-old machine a few weeks ago, it doesn't get heavy usage and the bearings are still quiet. |
