This seems like an odd case of defective parts leading to an early failure. I had a GE washing machine fail due to a defective pump (located under the drum and driven by the motor). There was no evidence of abnormal NHV and it is placed on level ground. The interesting thing was that the replacement pump (which cost me like $25 and took an hour to replace) was more robust. It has lasted twice as much as the original part.
