Product review (5 stars): The task of dissassembling the washer in order to access the pump was not as easy as the videos looked
The pump went out on my Kenmore front load washer which is less than 4 yrs old.  After a google search on the possible problem, I hoped it was a simple solution of unclogging the filter or unblocking the pump propeller.  After watching You Tube videos, I decided I could tackle the repair myself with the help of my brother.  The task of dissassembling the washer in order to access the pump was not as easy as the videos looked.  Once we gained access to the pump, the plastic propeller was completely gone.  There was no debris in the filter or near the pump.  It is just a cheap piece of plastic that does a heavy job of pumping water....definitely not made to last very long.  We found this replacement pump at a Great price....much more affordable than buying through Sears Parts Direct.  My brother and I were able to successfully replace the pump and now the washer is working great.  The repair was a high level of difficulty for a DIY rookie.
