Front load save water and clothes not easily damaged but seemed like not clean enough though…

Top load easy to put in clothes but can easily wear out T shirt collars..

I find my front load cleans better. Definitely uses less water. 

Main thing for machine longevity is never over load the machine. 

Using Samsung for the last 4, 5 years. Usually 3-4 full loads per week.

That’s for stubborn stains and also must add vinegar for more power soaking..

Vinegar is acid. Some people use oxalic acid, maybe citric acid also, but be careful not to use too much.

My old Panasonic front loader is very noisy during the spin cycle. Likely bearings worn out. Anyone has replaced the WM bearings before? And costs?

Got my Sharp top loading 15kg washing machine < 2 years back and it started to make a lot of noise and wobbling when in spinning cycles some time back. I contacted Courts to do repair as still under warranty till 2027. 
 

The technician came and diagnosed the 4 suspension arms to be worned out and would replace when got stock. Also he shared that the washing machine is slanted one side slightly, and he pushed the drum to the opposite edges of the inner casing to demonstrate the issue - really true as one side hit the inner casing much earlier comparing to the opp side. So we proceeded to use items to prop up the lower side to even it out. 

This really work the magic as since then the machine does not have the spinning noise any more regardless of load when previously even spinning at small load will have the issue. The delivery guy never did a good job after installing the washing machine and we are not aware of the need for this calibration. Good to know.
