"Sears does not have them." These machines are sold only through Sears. It's not clear from your question whether such a case is made but not available, or not made. Find out from Sears. (Call Sears at 800-427-3049 or 847-289-2500 or 800-549-4505.) If it's made but not available, you should at least be able to obtain the part number. Then if necessary you can try the following:

Enter your part number in a search engine like Google or Yahoo
Try eBay--search with the part number
Try a used appliance store
