Product review (2 stars): This Will Fix Your Machine, But You May Need to Replace Sooner Than Later
I think 3 stars is the perfect rating for this product.  It is just "okay".  I had a perfectly fine Hotpoint washer that worked very well that was ruined when my basement flooded. I replaced it with a Whirlpool.  This washer has just been problematic and works when it wants to.  It's just me and I wash maybe 2 or 3 small loads max per week, so it's not like I am taxing it in any way.

At some point it started only going through the wash cycle.  Than it would fill up with water and do nothing.  I watched videos and read reviews on parts and someone on here assured that despite everyone saying to the contrary that something else was wrong with my machine, this is the part I needed.  The person had a lot of positive feedback, so I purchased.  My father told me it couldn't be the problem!  Ran through the whole machine, couldn't find anything else wrong, installed the part and it worked!

Now 9 months later, I'm back to square 1.  It's doing the same darn thing.  I guess I will give it another whirl and hope it works again.  Now the part is $12 more then 9 months ago; not sure how that happens.  I guess spending $36 is better than spending money at the laundromat or on a new washer.

Edit
Deducting another star.  Needed replacement again after about 9 months of extremely light use (1-2 loads max/wk).  I'm at about $100 in actuators on a $400 washer.  It's great that it's easy to replace, but there comes a point when I may just need to scrap the washer and get one that doesn't require so much maintenance.
