I know a few people that have had nothing but problems with modern machines and front loaders. the boots go bad and leak, but then the aluminum drum drive spline corrodes and breaks/falls apart on some models, they are all moving to brushless DC motor systems and those control boards are failing at an alarming rate on some models.
I have a pair of mid to late 80s models, matched set washer and dryer. they are still going strong. I bought those on purpose just because I knew of their reliability. All mechanical, no electronics.
