Planned obsolescence

You have to have a kind of grudging admiration for the way that some washing machine parts are designed to last *just* longer than the warranty. Our six year Hotpoint's main bearings are on their way out and the parts warranty is of course five years. This will be the very first washing machine that I've owned whose bearings have died before the rest of the machine is beyond economic repair. Tim
