Product review (5 stars): Just what the doctor ordered
My experience with washers is that they last a long, long time. My Kenmore was about 15 years old when the agitator started moving very slowly or not at all. Learned a long time ago that if you can understand how things work, you can(more often than not) make the simple repairs yourself. Not sure what a service call costs, but quite sure it would have been a LOT more than the couple of bucks these dogs cost, and with free shipping, it had to have been the top money saver I've had this year. Just a few simple tools, a parts breakdown,(printed from the internet), and about 15 minutes of time was all that was needed to get my washer up and running again. I see a lot of people on youtube do the job without cleaning up any of the parts they take apart. I, on the other hand think that taking a few extra minutes is time well spent to remove any soap/softener/scum buildup from the last 15 years.
