Just to share I got replacement of my top loading washing machine. Previous Samsung 8.8kg motor kaput I think. Can see the oil leaking on the floor. Seems the lifespan more or less as stated by the 5 yrs warranty.

Getting the same brand with 11kg with new technology like wobble and digital inverter motor. Was surprised with the improvement especially the motor which is much more quieter. Can wash at midnight without disturbing anyone sleeping at night.

Intend to get the front loading but no platform to put the machine so that no need to bend down to load or unload clothing.
