Product review (5 stars): So far so good! And it saved me a LOT of money.
As another reviewer stated, I also dislike how appliance companies won't sell you the actual part you need. I needed the pump, not the entire pump housing, which is the only thing I could buy from Whirlpool. From their site, the pump housing was over $150 plus shipping.

This pump was very easy to install. The instructions helped, but I also watched a how-to video on YouTube just to be sure. I installed it while my hubby was at work. He was very impressed, but I did admit that it was easy lol. This pump appears to be an improved version of the original. Our Whirlpool washer is about 8 years old. Thanks again for selling just the pump!
