My advice buy a guarantee for a minimum of 5 years.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to operate and maintain the washing machine, which you probably gave in the operating instructions.

Perhaps the employee was right if there is no such record in the instruction manual.
Why I put an additional guarantee

That is why
I will add to this my example:
Washing machine samsung september 2011 purchase, employee buy additional warranty for 5 years and I will do with it, but wife and take what there etc .. well ok we took a guarantee for 5 years.
Well, January 2016 broke down, 8 months before the end of the 5-year warranty
But I have guarantees
During these 4 years we did not use anything, the manufacturer did not require it in the instructions, only at the very beginning we did the first wash as in the instructions. The washing machine went several times a week, even 2 times a day (I have two children).
The service technician arrived, brought a new drum housing, plastic tank where the bearings are and the drum is screwed to it and replaced. The old one took.
We did the first wash as per the instructions. And that's all.
Only that the new tank lasted until December 10 months, the service technician said during the exchange that it is the original new Samsung tank. Strange first lasted 4 years and the second 10 months, over 2 months after warranty.
I managed the bearings alone PLN 42 + 3 hours of work.
