Tried to find a bearing with good genuine quality? Look at where they
are made nowadays. I am not sold on front load laundry pair yet,
not easy to repair DIY. One time I looked into a high end washer by
Miel, it was more electronics with ASICs than mechanics. Hardly anything
to touch for repair but replace costing an arm and leg, LOL!.

Yes, I replace quite a number of bearings every year. Only _very_
rarely are there not over-the-counter replacements available thru the
local bearing distributorship. I've not had quality problems with any
irrespective of the point of manufacture.
