Kenmore front loader washer sounds like bad bearing!!!

[me]

My 7 yr old Kenmore front loader washer sounds terrible as if the bearing is out.

Makes a LOT of noise when spinning.

I doubt its still under warranty tho correct/

Any advice on how to fox or what it might cost to fix?

Or is it time to junk this and buy a new one?

you will need to post model number for help

If you have a Kenmore front load washer starting with model number starting with 417 that has a loud growlling/rumbling sound during spin, then yes, you have a bearing problem, and there is no easy DIY fix. You might want to call Sears to see if they have any special pricing programs that would cover this repair.
