Product review (5 stars): Saved me a bunch of money
It was this simple part that almost made me buy a new machine ($1000+ !!!).  Thankfully i did some research and found that the water wasn't draining away.  So I bought this pump.  It was easy to change over and now my washing machine is almost as quiet as it was the day I first used it.

Look on Youtube for videos of how to change it.  It will take about 10 minutes.  Honestly if I can do it so can you!

BTW, as someone recommended you DON'T have to buy the plastic housing as well.  Save yourself some money and get JUST THE MOTOR.  The motor costs about $55 as compared to $110 for the motor and plastic trap (which you don''t need unless yours is broken.
