Product review (5 stars): Direct replacement
Used this as a direct replacement for my washer when the same part broke.  Quick and easy to install if you are halfway competent with hand tools and you can use the search feature on YouTube.  This part appears to be mildly stronger than the old one, but then again - the old one snapped while washing some towels so it's no Mike Tyson in the strength department.

Don't pay a repair man $150 to come fix your broken washer - buy this part and fix it yourself!
