So just a quick warning and venting session.
Have always had good luck with Frigidaire appliances (parent company of Electrolux) so January 2018 bought a then top of the line Electrolux front load washer and dryer set. 10 months in dryer started roaring, under warranty Electrolux sent a tech who ended up replacing all the belt drive components (pulleys, belt and some bearings) and it was back to quiet. Well now 10 months later dryer is getting noisy again just like what happened previously. I am absolutely peeved my ~$800 dryer is a pile of crap - bet if I had bought a $300 Hotpoint dryer it would probably still be plugging along no prob.
Unfortunately my laundry room was not designed right so the openings where the washer and dryer fit do not meet the required clearance specs for the Korean and other American front loaders. Most if not all require 1/2" of clearance on each side, Bosch and Electrolux were the only that I found that did not require any clearance - all the others would have probably fit but did not abide by the required clearance, and I was not about to start ripping out baseboards and quarter round to squeeze a Samsung or LG in if it was too wide at the bottom.
One of a two wallet busting lessons of my first house purchase - who would ever think to measure a laundry room nook to make sure you can buy any machine on the market?
Venting session done.
