Is it possible to replace the bearings on the AEG L14510 V1 washing machine?

A washing machine engineer informed me that my bearings were gone. Fixed the machine without a guarantee saying when it next went - drum stops spinning. I would need to purchase a new machine. It only lasted a further four washes - not even a week. Can I fix it or do I need to save up for a new machine? The machine had a loud rumbling sound when operating. It's 5 years old. Brand new in the house when I bought it. Thanks.
