We tend to be intimidated by things we don't know or understand. Having said that, Appliance Parts Pros made tackling this repair easy. Replacement parts where an exact match and watching the videos (on this website or others) take you step by step. Appliance Parts Pros has helped me through the rebuild of our Kenmore dryer and now our Kenmore washer. Why pay for an appliance repair (or pay ridiculous money) for a new appliance? Spend a little time researching and it will pay off. I am not a professional in any sense of the word. Just an average homeowner looking to save money. (There's even a little trick to getting those stubborn corroded water lines off, research it)
