Haven't bothered to replace mine. Didn't use it much anyway. Hang stuff on the stair railings or out on the line.
Washer is a Maytag Bravos bought through lowes. Going on 7 or 8 years with no problems.
I thought I somehow washed a tennis shoe or something as there was a regular thud thud. Took half the clothes out, restarted, same noise. Took all the clothes out, same noise. Spun the drum, looks like a bearing or something support related. I'm hoping they don't pull some kinda metal out of it, I can end up with a lot of different things in my pockets by end of day with the telecom work I do.
