After doing all of the research and matching the results to my price point, I bought the Epic 9700 FL washer from Home Depot on July 27th of this year.
Everything was great at first, but over the last 5 weeks there's been a gradual increase in the amount of play in the drum to the point where it wobbles quite a bit now. I kept thinking that maybe this was normal for their suspension, but this just doesn't seem right so I made a service appointment for Monday morning.
The Epic thumps at the beginning of the spin stage of the cycle in both wash and rinse, makes a squeaky spring noise like the back seat of a 50 year old car in the wash and rinse tumbling, and makes a high-pitched squeal once it gets to a certain spin speed and above.
There's also an odd tapping noise of metal on metal throughout the cycle, and it also makes an odd drawn-out noise that sounds like it's coming from the top-front-left area (near the dispenser and cycle stage indicator lights) right before the door unlocks at the end of the cycle.
What's wrong? What is the service tech likely to find? What will he/she tell me?
The Epic isn't even paid off yet, I bought it on a 12-month interest free financing deal.
Please help!
