Yeah, I feel your pain. We have a good sam extended warranty. My washer/dryer is toast. The bearing in the back has seized and thrown the belt. They were able to put the belt back on, but the tech said it won't last 2 months. The machine is over 10 years old and the bearing/part is obsolete and no longer available. GS will only pay the price to REPAIR it and insisted on an estimate for that. The tech wrote right on the order it was not repairable because the part was no longer available. He had to write it up as though it was and that is the price they are working with, not the replacement of a new w/d which is what has to happen when it finally blows.
Grrrrr.
