My Kenmore front-loading washer has been leaking for awhile but I just put a towel under it. I finally called a repairman and found it it has nearly rusted through and is not worth repairing! It is 7 years old and he said he is surprised it lasted that long as Kenmore's usually only last 4 or 5 years! He recommended Whirlpool. Maytag used to be the best but they decided to fore go quality and went bankrupt.
I went to the appliance store and they said Whirlpool or GE is pretty good. They are priced similarly. They also had a Bosch for about $300. more but he didn't think it would necessarily last any longer than the others. These days a decent washer lasts about 8-10 years on average.
I'm pretty sure I want another front load since they use much less water.
I also found out that dryers usually 2 or 3 times longer than a washer! I guess they are a simpler machine and there is less to wear out on them.
From a not so desperate housewife-thank the Lord for my job and family and dirty clothes to wash!!
