Do-It-Yourself Story

I’ve heard what bad bearings sound like in a lot of other things, so I surmised that was the problem. I ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com, paid a little extra for speedy delivery so I could make the repair on, or even before the weekend, and waited. The package arrived and I looked at the parts and then watched the video that AppliancePartsPros.com on their website. It looked complicated, but not difficult. I launched into the repair at 6:30pm. I ran the video on my iPad, so I could listen to a step, pause the video and do the work. My machine was slightly different on the inside, but, honestly, the video is so well done that I was able to look at my machine and the part of the machine the video was showing and I breezed through it. When I got the bearings, one set was fine, the other was corroded so badly I was unable to turn it with my fingers. I replaced the parts and put it all back together- again stopping the video as I progressed, and I was done at 11:10pm. I ran the washer and it leaked. Bummed out (badly), I went to bed and decided I would tackle it in the morning. I also looked at replacement washers on the Lowes and Amazon sites. I was unhappy. I opened the machine up in the morning and Traced the leaks. I found that I had not clamped two clamps as carefully as I should have. I reseated the clamps and ran the machine. No leaks, no noise. $60 buck or so and a few hours saved me from having to spend a lot. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com- you guys totally rock!
