Answer Hello! Unfortunately, we do not have the information available advising why a part is priced how it is. We price using the manufacture suggested retailers price but with a larger discount since the manufacture typically sells parts for a more expensive price. We do, however, price match with major online competitors if you locate the washer on another web site for a lower price. Here is our price match guarantee link for you to view, thanks! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/orderhelp.aspx Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, June 13, 2011
