Yeah, it's either a widely used system in common to most of their Whirlpool and Maytag washers or they all leak regularly. What's interesting is that Amazon had several aftermarket kits complete with the bearing tool that you need to do the repair properly. The OEM part was over $250 and I'd have had to buy the tool for another $120.
On the other hand, our Thermador stove needed new hinges as they'd gotten sprung, so it didn't close tightly and wouldn't maintain heat well. Impossible to get anywhere!
I believe it was about 15 years old. Luckily, I finally found someone on ePay that wanted $400 for a pair plus shipping. I guess I saved $6K as that's what a 36", 6 burner stove would have cost for a new Thermador. I like the one we have. Simple knobs. No LED panel, no smart controls. It just works and has a really handy extra low simmer burner.
