Those are some impressive laundry machines. My theory about the cause of the motors going bad in newer machines is that they use shielded bearings rather than sealed, lots of opportunities for crap to get in there and seize them up. My new hand truck has shielded wheel bearings which have been subject to complaints, so I plan to have the bearings upgraded before I even put the wheels on. It was on sale, 40% off, so I can't complain. Not only that, it has a 1000-pound capacity and is in about the same shade of blue as the Mercury Lynx I want.
