Product review (5 stars): Easy to Install Except for the Cardboard Shield
I did not buy the pump from AMAZON thinking if I bought it from another online retailer for 20 more dollars would get me the original Whirlpool part which does not have the flimsy cardboard shield. I was wrong. Buy the pump from AMAZON and save your self $20.00. My pump looks exactly like the ones pictured that other reviewers have posted. Notice the cardboard shield is not pictured in the AMAZON picture. Figuring out and installing the shield was the hardest part of the replacement.(check out what the other reviewers here have posted to see how to install the shield) It took longer to unscrew the hot and cold water lines than what it took to install the pump. There are some great videos online showing how to take the old pump off and replace the new one. All it takes is 3 screws, 2 clamps, and unhooking and then hooking up the power to the pump.  I usually mess up doing any kind of repairs, but this is an easy one. I gave this 5 stars only because of how easy it was to install. I cannot vouch for the pump sold here, but it sure looks the same.
