Product review (3 stars): Works....for just 9 months before needed replacement.
Lasted only 9 months before running extremely roughly. I opened the wet end to check for any obstructions. Impeller looks fine so it's simply a case of a bad motor. Will spend more on a Whirlpool part this time around.

Updating review from 1 to 3 stars. Why? After looking at the price of a Whirlpool-brand part, I decided to give this item another try. I've now installed it (relatively simple 10 minute task) and will update this review again if or when it fails. We do use the washer a lot (6 people), so we'll see.
