No...it still squeaks once in a while. The receipt says the service is good for 90 days. So, I'm hoping to find a back-up machine before I consider taking it in for another 3 week long waiting game. I agree, it doesn't seem to affect anything. It will go for 3 hours straight not squeaking and then start doing it every once in a while again. It is annoying, but I agree I don't think it's doing any harm.
