I had my washer 75% disassembled after it shat the bed last year. Was 90% sure what part failed and spewed oil everywhere, which would have necessitated 90% disassembly. The part was half as much as a new washer, and I had absolutely no way to effectively clean the outer bucket. The icing on the cake was disassembly showing how utterly inadequate water flow was under the agitator, with mold rampant despite regular tub cleans and leaving the lid open all when not in use. I felt bad buying a new washer instead of repairing, but the old one (which was still pretty new) was a piece of shit.
Unfortunately some things are just built to break within a relatively short time. Manufacturers like to claim that planned obsolescence doesn't exist but it absolutely does.
