Product review (4 stars): This is the exact part that I needed to replace ...
This is the exact part that I needed to replace in my Kenmore 500 washer.  However my issue was that the screw hole on this replacement part did not match up with the screw hole with the original part nor did it match with the screw hole on the back plate of the washer.  I had to drill multiple holes in order to get it to match properly.  I found this to be extremely dangerous and difficult.
