:( I have a frontload washer purchased in feb of 03 it makes a terrible sound when drum is going around. Sounds like something is draging. When I took off the back and top nothing looks wrong. We already replaced the shocks and water pump about a year ago. We also had an Sears tech out and he says with just listening to the drum its the bearings going bad. About a 500 to 600 dollar fix! Is this something that we could do or not even worth it? Any suggestions? Also sears says that its from not using a low sudzing soap and that is why its not covered under the extended warranty. Thanks for some imput.

It sound to me like the sears tech was trying to get out of work. Call again and ask for a different tech. If that doesn't work try cr. But I'm sure the different tech will order the parts. PS hide your soap and put a jug of h.e. soap on the the shelf.
