Product review (5 stars): keep the old washer alive.
My washer is about 15 years old. finally my wife notice some oil leaking onto the floor under the washer and the washer wouldn't complete it's final spin cycle. After looking up this part on Whirlpools web site and using google for the search, Amazon came up with the best price. So I purchased it and it arrived within 2 days. Unit is not exact as the original but is the replacement part for the original. Didn't take long to install it. Make sure you clear the vent hole that is painted shut for delivery. I also replaced the clutch unit and lid switch while I was at it. Amazon had an excellent price on this unit. I think I paid $134.00 plus I had some credits so it was less then that. I really can't tell if it's a remanufacture unit or new. If I had to guess I would say new. Unit worked perfectly and still does 2 weeks later. no complaints at this time.
