Whirlpool front load washer, purchased new, warranty was less than 20% cost of new item. After a few years, it was necessary to replace the door gasket. Since it was under warranty, I called and arranged for technician to do the job (Sears service co).
Long story short, they wanted to replace not only gasket, but drum and belt. Total price was a little over $700. At first, they wanted me to pay for some reason I can't remember. Finally, they paid (I was never going to and would have just purchased a new unit).
Yes, I, as most other Saabers are capable of replacing a motor, but appliance repair is a giant pia. Especially with electronic controls. Yes the boards are easy to change, but their pricey. Most use fractional horsepower motors. good luck with the clutch mechanisms when you replace one. Not impossible, but a pia.
So answer your own question, how bad or how much inconvenience can you do you want to put up with vs the cost?
