Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

GE 85 Series washer about three years old. Owner paid about $130 for diagnosis and $500 for a main control board replacement. Roughly a month later the machine developed loud abnormal noise again; comments suggest suspension rods. Limited 10-year warranty covers tub and motor only, not the board.
