Product review (1 stars): Modifications needed to keep the pump from coming apart.
This pump worked for only two loads of laundry before the front bearing assembly separated from the pump housing causing the rotor in the motor to bind up. After disassembling the pump I found that the only thing holding it in place is the front rubber seal. After several attempts at putting it back together ( all resulting in the same failure) I was able to epoxy the pump bearing assembly to the housing and it has so far been working fine. Due to my background in appliance repair I was able to make it work but, most consumers will not be able to use this pump as it is sold out of the box. If you don't have the ability to troubleshoot, modify, and or repair appliances this is not an item I can recommend. If you do purchase it I would recommend taking the unit apart and using a good quality epoxy to permanently adhere the front bearing assembly to the pump housing ( as your original pump would have been). I am sure I am not the only consumer to have had this issue as it is not a very good design out of the box.
