Zanussi ZWF1437W

i got this washer 18mths ago asa replacement 4 another zanussi washer which i,d had for 6yrs. it as bin a gud washer up until a few days ago when all ofa sudden the bearings went. i had no idea there was anythin wrong with it, it just started bangin and that was that. the engineer said it was very unusual 4 the bearings 2 go afta just 18mths, maybe it was just a faulty machine. ive searched 4 reviews on the washer bt neva found any atal. all my washers avbin zanussi and this one was the only one that broke down so early. my 1st one lasted me 10yrs. i av now ordered another zanussi as this experience as not put me off them atal.
