Product review (5 stars): so I highly recommend a bit of DIY
I recently ordered a sensor switch to replace a broken one on our 5 year old Kenmore washing machine.  The local  service agent had no parts and was most unhelpful, so we took matters into our own hands.  We learned how to replace the part by looking at posts on You Tube.  The machine works so well now!  I have been dining off this story for weeks now, so I highly recommend a bit of DIY.  Thank you!
