Product review (4 stars): Easy to replace
I've replaced a few of these in the past so now being an "old pro" it takes less than 10 minutes to install. With two grown kids along with my wife and self we do lots of laundry. Kids are in landscaping, so it's almost a daily thing.
Time will tell if this GARP replacement will last, but this time I bought an extra to have on hand just in case. I too will stick with the old plastic part versus the new part with the metal sleeve, as this can do damage if the machine is overloaded, etc.
I paid extra for 1-day shipping and had the part installed within 24 hours so I can recommend the seller of this item.
If you are semi handy this is quite an easy repair to make and there are a couple of short good videos that describe the process.
