Product review (5 stars): So relieved I burst into tears!
We have a Kenmore HE3t that has sounded like it was on the verge of death since it was just over 2 years old. When it wouldn't drain or spin last week, I thought it was dead for sure. After paying for our only daughters wedding in June, a new washer was out of the question.

I turned to the online forums myself for help since my husband was working overtime and I needed to know what to do asap. I soon came to the conclusion that it was the water pump. As a side note, I wish I would have checked the drain basket before I ordered the pump... just in case it was plugged and the pump wasn't necessary. But, in my case the pump was indeed the problem.... and we saved several hundred dollars by buying this pump for $55 + shipping. It arrived 2 days before the sellers estimated delivery date, and it looks different, but fits perfectly.

Knowing nothing about washing machines, with the help of a youtube video, I installed the pump myself in less than an hour.. that included the prep time with finding the rachet things and a screwdriver and taking the cover off the machine. I didn't unhook the hoses like the directions say, (partly because I wasn't strong enough to squeeze the clamps together to release them) turns out, it wasn't necessary. But, do put the old o-ring on the new pump before you install it. When I plugged the machine in for the second time after adjusting the o-ring, and started a cycle, I held my breath until the drain cycle started.... worked perfectly with no leaks... yes, I really did burst into tears with relief. :)
