Product review (4 stars): Kenmore Washing Machine Pump
My washing machine is only 4 1/2 years old and this is the third pump that this machine has had in it. I am hoping that there has been improvements in the pump bearing design.
 This is what goes out and you can't stand to be in the same room, when the bearings start failing, during a pump cycle. Other then that, the pump works just fine and is easy to install.
